A memory access method that data are read with different sequences with writing order is a simple but important procedure in many image compression standards, such as JPEG, MPEG1/2/4, H.264, and HEVC. For real time processing, double buffering is widely used using two block sized buffers, that accesses buffers concurrently with alternative way to read and write. In some cases like a transpose memory in 2D DCT with a simple and regular access order, a single buffering which requires only single block sized buffer can be used. This paper shows that even in complex access orders there is a regularity among updating orders within a finite turns, and suggested an effective implementation method using a single block sized buffer to process concurrent read/write operation with different access orders.

Concentric mosaics are made with arranging and summing of video frames by using common spacial standards. Compared with previous works on 3-D wavelet transform coding, we have made important design considerations to enable flexible partial decoding and bit-stream random access. A just-in-time(JIT) rendering engine of the compressed concentric mosaic is developed. However, computationally, it is still demanding to accomplish the real-time rendering. Only the contents for specific scene representation are need to be decoded by maintaining compressed data. Thus our proposed algorithm is able to render real concentric mosaic by using lifting scheme instead of wavelet transform.

This paper proposes a deep learning method for estimating the heart rate from facial videos. Our proposed method estimates remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) signals to predict the heart rate. Although there have been proposed several methods for estimating rPPG signals, most previous methods can not be utilized in low-power single board computers due to their computational complexity. To address this problem, we construct a lightweight student model and employ a knowledge distillation technique to reduce the performance degradation of a deeper network model. The teacher model consists of 795k parameters, whereas the student model only contains 24k parameters, and therefore, the inference time was reduced with the factor of 10. By distilling the knowledge of the intermediate feature maps of the teacher model, we improved the accuracy of the student model for estimating the heart rate. Experiments were conducted on the UBFC-rPPG dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Moreover, we collected our own dataset to verify the accuracy and processing time of the proposed method on a real-world dataset. Experimental results on a NVIDIA Jetson Nano board demonstrate that our proposed method can infer the heart rate in real time with the mean absolute error of 2.5183 bpm.

In this paper we present a teleoperation system of an internet-based mobile robot based on H.263 image compression algorithm. We control remotely the networked mobile robot with vision over the internet under unknown environments in the real time. The main feature of this system is that local operators need to download and install a client program and so they can command the robot in a remote location. Image information of remote location is compressed by H.263 video codec algorithm and then transmitted to a local operator. We constructed and tested a networked autonomous mobile robot in the real field. The experimental results show the usefulness of the robot under test.

In this paper, we propose the audio watermarking algorithm based on the critical band of HAS(human auditory system) without audibly affecting the quality of the watermarked audio and implement the detecting algorithm on the BSS(broadcast synchronizing system) for testing the proposed algorithm. According to the audio quality test, the SNR(signal to noise ratio) of the watermarked audio objectively is 66dB above. In the robustness test, the proposed algorithm can detect the watermark more than $90\%$ from various compression(MP3, AAC), A/D and D/A conversions, sampling rate conversions and especially asynchronizing attacks. The BSS automatically switches the programs between the key station and the local station in broadcasting system. The result of reliability test of implemented system by using the real broadcasting audio has no false positive error during 30 days. Because of detecting once processing per 0.5 second, we can judge that the false positive error does not occur.

Virtual holography is a methodology of synthesizing apparent three-dimensional images from two-dimensional photographs. Since the input is photographic images of real objects, the degree of realism exceeds that offered by any computer-aided design software. The three-dimensional appearance is given in real-time by images from arbitrary viewing directions. If infinitely many photographs were taken and pasted together, virtual holography would have been trivial. But, the (infinite) storage requirement would prohibit such an attempt.

Recently the subject of "wavelet analysis" has be drawn by both mathematical and engineering application fields such as Signal Processing, Compression/Decomposition, Wavelet-Neural Network, Statistics and etc. Even though its similar to courier analysis, wavelet is a versatile tool with much mathematical content and great potential for applications. Especially, wavelet transform uses localizable various mother wavelet functions in time-frequency domain. Therefore, wavelet transform has good time-analysis ability for high frequency component, and has good frequency-analysis ability for low frequency component. Using the discriminative ability is more easy method than other conventional techniques. In this paper, Morlet wavelet transform was applied to discriminate the kind of line fault by acquired data from real power transformation network. The experimental result presented that Morlet wavelet transform is easier, and more useful method than the FFW (Fast courier Transform).ransform).

In this paper, we propose a protocol compression scheme for enhancing the performance of call processing of PTT(Push-to-Talk) which is one of the important services in IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem), a next generation integrated wired/wireless packet communication network. To service the PTT on an IMS network, it should use the same call setup procedure as legacy Mobile and TRS(Trunked Radio System) networks and have a fast call setup time and enough communication bandwidth because a number of terminals should be able to exchange same data in real time. The proposed A+SigComp scheme reduces the initial call setup delay of SIP by about 10%, which is used by PTT service for call setup. In addition, the A+ROHC scheme is proposed to compress the header of RTP packets transferred during PTT voice transmission and, as a result, about 5% of increase in communication efficiency is observed.

The real-time bio-signal monitoring system based on the ZigBee and SIP/RTP has proposed and implemented for telemedicine but that has some problems at the stabilities to transmit bio-signal from the sensors to the other sides. In this paper, we designed and implemented a real-time bio-signal monitoring system that is focused on the reliability and efficiency for transmitting bio-signal at real-time. We designed the system to have enhanced architecture and performance in the ubiquitous sensor network, SIP/RTP real-time transmission and management of the database. The Bluetooth network is combined with ZigBee network to distribute traffic of the ECG and the other bio-signal. The modified and multiplied RTP session is used to ensure real-time transmission of ECG, other bio-signals and speech information on the internet. The modified ECG compression method based on DWLT and MSVQ is used to reduce data rate for storing ECG to the database. Finally we implemented a system that has improved performance for transmitting bio-signal from the sensors to the monitoring console and database. This implemented system makes possible to make various applications to serve U-health care services.
