In this paper, we implement the H.264/AVC baseline decoder by hardware-software partitioning under the embedded Linux Kernel 2.4.26 and the FPGA-based target board with ARM926EJ-S core. We design several IPs for the time-demanding blocks, such as motion compensation, deblocking filter, and YUV-to-RGB and they are communicated with the host through the AMBA bus protocol. We also try to minimize the number of memory accesses between IPs and the reference software (JM 11.0) which is ported in the embedded Linux. The proposed IPs and the system have been designed and verified in several stages. The proposed system decodes the QCIF sample video at 2 frame per second when 24MHz of system clock is running and we expect the bitter performance if the proposed system is designed with ASIC.

In order to automatically provide information on fruits in agricultural related broadcasting contents, instance image segmentation of target fruits is required. In addition, the information on the 3D pose of the corresponding fruit may be meaningfully used. This paper represents research that provides information about tomatoes in video content. A large amount of data is required to learn the instance segmentation, but it is difficult to obtain sufficient training data. Therefore, the training data is generated through a data augmentation technique based on a small amount of real images. Compared to the result using only the real images, it is shown that the detection performance is improved as a result of learning through the synthesized image created by separating the foreground and background. As a result of learning augmented images using images created using conventional image pre-processing techniques, it was shown that higher performance was obtained than synthetic images in which foreground and background were separated. To estimate the pose from the result of object detection, a point cloud was obtained using an RGB-D camera. Then, cylinder fitting based on least square minimization is performed, and the tomato pose is estimated through the axial direction of the cylinder. We show that the results of detection, instance image segmentation, and cylinder fitting of a target object effectively through various experiments.

최근, 실감 영상에 대한 관심과 요구가 증가하면서 신개념 서비스인 3차원 다시점(Multi-view) 방송에 대한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이와 더불어 광고와 게시를 목적으로 입체 영상과 입체 디스플레이 장치의 수요가 증가하고 있어, 앞으로 다시점 영상 콘텐츠와 디스플레이 장치가 활발하게 보급될 전망이다. 다시점 영상 콘텐츠는 제작 단계에서 컴퓨터 그래픽스 객체를 합성하면 보다 목적에 부합하는 콘텐츠를 제작할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다시점 카메라로부터 얻은 RGB 텍스쳐 데이터와 깊이 테이터에 컴퓨터 그래픽스 객체를 합성하여 다시점 합성 영상을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제작된 다시점 합성 영상을 검증하고 재생하는 다시점 비디오 뷰어를 설계, 구현 한다. 가상의 다시점 영상에 그래픽스 객체를 합성하는 방법은 후 합성 기반으로, 임의의 그래픽스 객체 모델을 생성하여 깊이 정보를 부여하고, 가상 시점 영상의 생성과 동일한 방법으로 그래픽스 객체의 각 시점별 영상을 생성한다. 끝으로 깊이정보를 사용하여 가상 시점 영상의 적절한 좌표공간으로 그래픽스 객체를 삽입한다. 그래픽스 합성의 정확성 검증을 위해 다시점 그래픽스 합성 영상을 디스플레이하는 뷰어는 2D 및 입체를 모두 지원하고, view switching, frozen moment, view sweeping 등의 interactive special effect기법과 다양한 포맷의 저장이 가능하다. 또한, 입체 영상의 실험에서는 그래픽 객체의 입체감 조절을 위해 실제 카메라 시점 간에 필요한 중간시점영상의 개수를 결정할 수 있다.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient coding method for digital hologram (fringe pattern) acquired by a CCD camera or by computer generation using multi-view prediction technique and MPEG video compression standard technique. It proceeds each R, G, or B color component separately. The basic processing unit is a partial image segmented into the size of $N{\times}N$. Each partial image retains the information of the whole object. This method generates an assembled image for a row of the segmented and frequency-transformed partial images, which is the basis of the coding process. That is, a motion estimation and compensation technique of MPEG is applif:d to the reconstructed images from the assembled images with the disparities found during generation of assembled image and the original partial images. Therefore the compressed results are the disparity of eachpartial image to form the assembled image for the corresponding row, assembled image, and the motion vectors and the compensated image for each partial image. The experimental results with the implemented algorithm showed that the proposed method has NC (Normal Correlation) values about 4% higher than the previous method, by which ours has better compression efficiency. Consequently, the Proposed method is expected to be used effectively in the application areas to transmit the digital hologram data. can be identified in comparison with the previous researches and commercial IPs.
