In this paper, we described the implementation and the sound quality assessment of a real-time stereo audio codec using TMS320C40 DSP (digital signal processing) chip for low bitrte and high quality audio. We implemented hardware and software in order to overcome a real-time processing problem of audio compression algorithm that can be produced by largely recursive computing and complexity of the process. We have studied five types of distortion that can be produced by perceptual coding and the codec was evaluated by eight test musics that are selected in SQAM (sound quality assessment material) 422-2-4-2 produced by EBU (european broadcast union). The subjective listening tests were carried out on the codec quality and preformance by double blind method in a listening room with eleven listeners. As a result, 5 grade-impairment scale was scored under minus one and the codec quality was evaluated to be perceptible, but not annoying.

Nowadays, various speech processing systems are being introduced in the fields of robotics. However, real-time processing and high performances are required to properly implement speech processing system for the autonomous robots. Achieving these goals requires advanced hardware techniques including intelligent software algorithms. For example, we need nonlinear amplifier boards which are able to adjust the compression radio (CR) via computer programming. And the necessity for noise reduction, double-buffering on EPLD (Erasable programmable logic device), simultaneous multi-channel AD conversion, distant sound localization will be explained in this paper. These ideas can be used to improve distant and omni-directional speech recognition. This speech processing system, based on embedded Linux system, is supposed to be mounted on the new home service robot, which is being developed at KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology)

The probability distributio function (pdf) of transmitted symbols should be asymmectric for recovering the received data in the 3rd order blind equalizer system. In this paper, we hav edesigned the blind equalizer using symmetric-asymmetric (SA) and asymmetric-symmetric (AS) transforms for less computational complexities and robustness in the noisy environments. The method of SA and AS transform was peformed using natural logarithmic operation. This paper proves that the proposed in this paper can be performed as real time operation. This paper proves that the compression factor k has no effet on transmitted symbols. Also 3rd order equalization method proposed in this paper can be performed as real time operation. As a result of computer simulatio, the computational complexity of proposed algorithm is reduced to be an half of 4th order method and MSE is enhanced as 10dB at the case of 4-PAM and 15dB at the case of 8-PAM respectivley. Conclusively, we have found that 3rd order blind equalizer can be implemented when the pdf of transmitter is asymmetric.

A general web-based remote lecture system uses video data and audio data to provide synchronize between teacher and students. This system requires high bandwidth, high speed networking, television, compression and computing technologies between server and client for remote lecture over Internet. As a result, this system can decrease an efficiency for lecturing over current Internet. So, this paper proposes a new mechanism calling as ‘Synchronization of WWW browsers between server and client’to cope with above problems and finally pursues low cost needed for real-time remote lecture over Internet. The mechanism means that every browser of teacher and students displays the same page and the action of teacher is transferred to the browser of student. And, this can be implemented by Windows hooking APIs, Memory Mapping, and DLL (Dynamic Link Library) programming technology. This paper points to the design and implementation of LAS (Lecture Assistant Server) and LAC (Lecture Assistant Client) to perform the synchronization between server and client.

This paper describes an implementation of the absolute moment block truncation coding(AMBTC) in real time for the moving picture data compression. We have realized a system composed of the encoder and decoder, and operated it using an NTSC TV signal. The encoder consists of a 4-1line buffer memory and a data processing block. Besides, there are signal conditioner and a control signal generator. Experimental results show that the quality of the processed image with a data rate of 10Mb/s is slightly degraded, but not objectionable, comparing data rate of 80Mb/s.

Recently, according to the rapid development of surveillance information, closed-circuit television (CCTV) has become an indispensable component in security systems. A lot of advanced technologies of encryption and compression are implementing to improve the performance and security levels of the CCTV system. Especially, 360 video CCTV streaming is promising for surveillance without blind areas. However, compared to previous systems, 360 CCTV requires large bandwidth and low latency. Therefore, it requires more efficiently effort to improve the CCTV system performance. In order to meet the demands of 360 CCTV streaming, transcoding is an essential process to enhance the current CCTV system. Moreover, encryption algorithm is also an important priority in security system. In this paper, we propose a real-time transcoding solution in combination with the ARIA and AES algorithms. Experimental results prove that the proposed method has achieved around 195% speed up transcoding compared to FFMPEG libx265 method. Furthermore, the proposed system can handle multiple transcoding sessions simultaneously at high performance for both live 360 CCTV system and existing CCTV system.

Generally, general-purpose image processing system is so expensive that not so many users easily can access the system. In this paper attemps have been made to design and describe a general and economical image processing system for real-time aplications such as image data compression, pattern recognition and target tracking. The system comprises an operator console, image data acquisition/display sistem and IBM PC/XT. The system also utilizes a high speed Fairchild 16-bit microprocessor with ALU speed of 375 nsec for system control, algrithm execution and user computation. The system also can digitize /display a 256x 256x 8 bit image in real time and store two frames of images. All image pixels are directly accessible by the microprocessor for fast and efficient computation. Some experimental and illustrative results such as target tracking are presented to show the efficient performance of the system.

The purpose of the paper is to enable a format transcoding between a heterogeneous compression format in a real time, and to enhance the compression ratio using characteristics of the compressed frame. In this paper, for the heterogeneous format transcoding, we tried to transcode from MPEG2 having a lower compression ratio to H.263 having a higher compression ratio. After analyzing MPEG 2 bit stream and H.263 bit stream of the same original video, we found that the number of intra coded macro blocks in MPEG 2 data is much higher than the number of the intra coded macro blocks in H.263 data. In the process of P frame generation, a intra coded macro block is generated when a motion estimation value representing the similarity between the previous frame and current frame does not meet a threshold. Especially the intra coded macro block has a great impact on the compression ratio. Hence the paper, we tried to minimize the number of intra coded macro blocks in H.263 data stream which is transcoded from MPEG 2 in a compressed domain. For the purpose, we propose a guided search method for transcoding the INTRA coded block into INTER coded block using the information about motion vectors surrounding the intra macro block in order to minimize the complexity of the motion estimation process. The experimental results show that the transcoding of MPEG 2 into H.263 can be done in a real time successfully.

The size of raw data has dramatically increased due to the recent trend of Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) development plans for high resolution and high definition image acquisition. The large raw data has an impact on satellite operability due to the limitations of storage and transmission capacity. To improve the SAR operability, the SAR raw data shall be compressed before transmission to the ground station. The Block Adaptive Quantization (BAQ) algorithm is one of the data compression algorithm and has been used for a long time in the spaceborne SAR system. In this paper, an optimization method of BAQ threshold table is introduced using real SAR raw data to prevent the degradation of signal quality caused by data compression. In this manner, a new variation estimation strategy and a new threshold method for block type decision are introduced.

Recently there is growing interest in LBS requiring real-time services and the spatial main memory DBMS for efficient Telematics services. In order to optimize existing disk-based spatial indexes of the spatial main memory DBMS in the main memory, spatial index structures have been proposed, which minimize failures in cache access by reducing the entry size. However, because the reduction of entry size requires compression based on the MBR of the parent node or the removal of redundant MBR, the cost of MBR reconstruction increases in index update and the efficiency of search is lowered in index search. Thus, to reduce the cost of MBR reconstruction, this paper proposed the RSMB (relative-sized MBR)compression technique, which applies the base point of compression differently in case of broad distribution and narrow distribution. In case of broad distribution, compression is made based on the left-bottom point of the extended MBR of the parent node, and in case of narrow distribution, the whole MBR is divided into cells of the same size and compression is made based on the left-bottom point of each cell. In addition, MBR was compressed using a relative coordinate and size to reduce the cost of search in index search. Lastly, we evaluated the performance of the proposed RSMBR compression technique using real data, and proved its superiority.
