In this paper, we present a improved rate distortion optimization (RDO) for H.264 intra coding. By using new mode decision criteria pass for $I4{\times}4$ in company with the original RDO, the proposed method can achieve the better coding efficiency comparing with the original RDO. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can archive about $0.64{\sim}1.6578%$ bit rate decrease at the same PSNR and $0.049{\sim}0.101dB$ PSNR increase at the same bit rate.

This paper addressed an another scheme of distortion estimation method based on simplified inverse quantization in H.264/AVC. The distortion is calculated by the difference of coefficient between quantized transform coefficients and that of inverse. In general, these process included such transforms as discrete cosine transform(DCT), quantization, inverse quantization(IQ), and Inverse DCT(IDCT). In proposed approach, IQ as well as IDCT process are skipped because of replacing a couple of approximated formulas. Some simulation have been conducted and it showed that the PSNR was almost the same, and reduced the rate-distortion optimization(RDO) mode decision time of 8~15% in comparison with conventional method.

Recently, VR HMD (virtual reality head mounted display) has been utilized for virtual training, entertainment, vision therapy, and optometry. In particular, virtual reality contents are increasingly used for vision therapy and optometry. Accordingly, high-quality virtual reality contents such as a natural vision of life is required. Therefore, it is necessary to study the content production according to the optical characteristics of the VR HMD. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a proper FOV (field of view) of contents according to the distortion rate. We produced virtual reality contents and obtained distorted images by virtual camera. The distortion rate is calculated by using the distorted image. It is proved that the optimal FOV of the VR content with the minimum distortion is $90{\sim}100^{\circ}$. The results of this study are expected to be applied to the production of high quality contents.

We examine a mortgage bank's incentive distortion problem when the bank sells its existing loan through MBS(Mortgage-Backed Security), considering the mortgage market structure and varying investors' risk attitude. Main findings in our comparative statics are the followings. The bank's monitoring incentive on the loan sold is distorted downwards when the deposit interest rate is lower than the coupon rate of MBS. Credit enhancement associated with the loan sale may mitigate the incentive distortion problem. However, the downward distortion of monitoring incentive does not disappear unless the credit enhancement, a loan guarantee, is provided up to 100%. Finally as the investors' risk preference changes from risk-neutral to risk-averse type, the incentive distortion problem becomes more severe. At the end, we recommend the introduction of covered bond in order to mitigate the incentive distortion problem, which is inevitable to current pass-through MBS.

We propose and demonstrate a new scheme for suppression of output distortion in an open-loop gyroscope employing an erbium-doped fiber amplifier/source (FAS). In addition to the main modulation for the rotation rate measurement, a small auxiliary modulation at a different frequency is used to extract an error signal, which is necessary for keeping the quasi-dc component of the feedback signal power at a constant level for varying rotation rate. By active tracking of the optimum modulation condition using this two-frequency modulation scheme, we obtain stable gyro output with suppressed distortion as well as stable FAS characteristics. We also calculate the distortion in the gyro response due to the feedback effect, from which we estimate the FAS gyro output distortion due to the residual ac feedback effect when the dc feedback effect is removed by the proposed scheme. The measured residual deviation agrees reasonably with the estimation.

The state-of-the-art video-based point cloud compression(V-PCC) has a high efficiency of compressing 3D point cloud by projecting points onto 2D images. These images are then padded and compressed by High-Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC). Pixels in padded 2D images are classified into three groups including origin pixels, padded pixels and unoccupied pixels. Origin pixels are generated from projection of 3D point cloud. Padded pixels and unoccupied pixels are generated by copying values from origin pixels during image padding. For padded pixels, they are reconstructed to 3D space during geometry reconstruction as well as origin pixels. For unoccupied pixels, they are not reconstructed. The rate distortion optimization(RDO) used in HEVC is mainly aimed at keeping the balance between video distortion and video bitrates. However, traditional RDO is unreliable for padded pixels and unoccupied pixels, which leads to significant waste of bits in geometry reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new RDO scheme which takes 3D-Distortion into account instead of traditional video distortion for padded pixels and unoccupied pixels. Firstly, these pixels are classified based on the occupancy map. Secondly, different strategies are applied to these pixels to calculate their 3D-Distortions. Finally, the obtained 3D-Distortions replace the sum square error(SSE) during the full RDO process in intra prediction and inter prediction. The proposed method is applied to geometry frames. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves an average of 31.41% and 6.14% bitrate saving for D1 metric in Random Access setting and All Intra setting on geometry videos compared with V-PCC anchor.

In this research, we consider the replication strategy for the applications of video streaming in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In particular, we propose a closed-form of optimal replication densities for a set of frames of a video streaming by exploiting not only the skewed access probability of each frame but also the skewed loss probability and skewed encoding rate-distortion information. The simulation results demonstrate that our method improves the replication performance in terms of user-perceived quality (UPQ) which includes: 1) minimum average maximum reconstructed distortion for high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), 2) small reconstructed distortion fluctuation among frames for smooth playback, and 3) reasonable average maximum transmission distance for continuous playback. Furthermore, the proposed strategy consumes smaller storage capacity compared to other existing optimal replication strategies. More importantly, the effect of encoding rate is carefully investigated to show that high encoding rate does not always gain high performance of replication for video streaming.

In this study, we propose a joint source/channel rate control algorithm for video encoder targeting packet erasure channel. Based on the buffer constraints of video communication systems, encoding rate constraint is presented. After defining source distortion models for coded and skipped video frames and a channel distortion model for packet errors and their propagation, an average distortion model of received video is proposed for a given encoding window. Finally, we define an optimization problem to minimize the average distortion for given channel rates and packet loss rates by controlling spatio-temporal parameters of source video and FEC block sizes. Then, we propose a window-based algorithm to solve the problem in real-time.

In this paper, a new low-complexity distortion estimation method for H.264 rate-distortion optimized mode decision is proposed. The coding processes, such as DCT, quantization, inverse quantization, inverse DCT, and reconstruction are needed to compute the distortion in an H.264 encoder. To reduce these processes, we estimate distortion using integer operations with coefficients obtained in the quantization process. Inverse quantization, inverse DCT, and reconstruction processes are not needed by the proposed method. For quantization parameters 24 to 36, experimental results show that the time saving of rate-distortion optimized mode decision is on average 29 % and as high as 42 % with negligible degradation in coding performance.

In this paper, a new temporal decomposition method is proposed. which takes into consideration not only spectral distortion but also bit rates. The interpolation functions, which are one of necessary parameters for temporal decomposition, are obtained from the training speech corpus. Since the interval between the two targets uniquely defines the interpolation function, the interpolation can be represented without additional information. The locations of the targets are determined by minimizing the bit rates while the maximum spectral distortion maintains below a given threshold. The proposed method has been applied to compressing the LSP coefficients which are widely used as a spectral parameter. The results of the simulation show that an average spectral distortion of about 1.4 dB can be achieved at an average bit rate of about 8 bits/Frame.
