본 논문에서는 입체 영상 시스템 중 원 영상과 오차 영상(residual image)에 대한 효율적인 압축방법을 연구하였으며, 기준영상과 오차영상에 대해 저 비트에서도 양질의 영상품질을 얻을 수 있는 제로트리 기법을 이용하여 압축하는 기법을 제안한다. 제로트리 기법을 이용할 경우 압축 성능과 효율이 좋은 반면, 계산량이 증가한다는 단점이 있는데, 이것을 보완하기 위해 변이추정 방법은 ADLS[1] 방식을 적용하였다. 웨이블릿을 기반으로 하는 제로트리 기법을 이용하여 영상의 압축 효율을 향상시킴으로써 제한된 대역폭 내에서 높은 영상품질을 보존 할 수 있다는 것을 실험을 통하여 보였다.

The matching pursuit (MP) algorithm developed by S. Mallat and Z. Zhang is applied to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Since matching pursuit is a greedy algorithm to find waveforms which are the best match for an object-signal, the signal can be decomposed with a few iterations. In this paper, we propose an application of the MP algorithm to the MR imaging to reduce imaging time. Inner products of residual signals and selected waveforms in the MP algorithm are derived from the MR signals by excitation of RF pulses which are fourier transforms of selected waveforms. Results from computer simulations demonstrate that the imaging time is reduced by using the MP algorithm and further a progressive reconstruction can be achieved.

본 논문에서는 스테레오/다시점 영상을 효율적으로 압축할 수 있는 차 영상 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 예측된 영상과 원 영상의 차이 정보를 보다 효율적으로 전송하기 위하여 DCT를 기반으로 차 영상 부호화를 하게 되는데 DCT 계수들의 방향성을 이용하여 양자화 및 스캔 방법을 각 블록의 특성에 따라 다르게 적용하였다. 특히 다시점 영상의 부호화는 첫 번째 시점 영상을 기준 영상으로 정하여 나머지 시점 영상을 기준 영상으로부터 변이를 추정하여 복원하는 방식과 다시점 영상 중 가려진 영역의 비율을 고려하여 가려진 영역이 상대적으로 제일 적은 영상을 기준 영상으로 설정하여 나머지 영상을 변이 추정하여 복원하는 방법으로 나누어 실험하였다. 실험 결과 모든 압축률에 대하여 제안 방식이 기존의 차 영상 부호화 방법보다 우수함을 확인하였고, 가려진 영역의 상대적인 비율을 고려하여 다시점 영상을 부호화한 제안 방식이 기존의 방식 및 첫 번째 시점을 기준 영상으로 설정하여 부호화한 제안 방식보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

A low complexity encoding scheme for coarse grain scalability is proposed. The proposed method exploits the statistics of residuals between current and reference blocks using the macroblock mode predicted from the previous quality layer. To test how the mode is optimal in the current layer, the statistical hypothesis testing for the variances of the residual sub-blocks is performed. The proposed method reduces the total encoding time up to 51% when three CGS scalability layers are encoded. However, the quality degradation and bit-rate increment of the each layer are negligible.

A new error control line code based on an extended Hamming code is proposed and its performance is analyzed in this paper. The proposed code is capable of single error correction and double error detection since its minimum Hamming distance is 4. In addition, the error detection capability can be oncreased due to the redundancy bit used for line coding. As a result, the proposed code shows lower code rate, but better spectral characteristics in low frequency region and lower residual bit error rate than the conventional error correction line code using Hamming (7, 4) code.

There have been proposed two types of low bit rate vocoder upto now : One is MBE type using the spectrum modeling and another is CELP type using the hybrid coding method. CELP type vocoder has mainly studied between them. Specially, much of intensity is concentrated in CELP vocoder due to the emergence of Internet Phone and PCS in a domestic. In order to improve the speech quality in CELP vocoder, in this paper, we proposed a new spectrum analysis algorithm with variable window. In CELP vocoder, the spectrum of the synthesised speech signal is distorted because the fixed size windows is used for spectrum analysis. So we have measured the spectral leakage and in order to minimize the spectral leakage have adjusted the window size. Applying this method G.723.1 ACELP, we can get SD(Spectral Distortion) reduction 0.084(dB), residual energy reduction 6.3% and MOS(Mean Opinion Score) improvement 0.1.

In this paper, we propose an efficient superposition coding multiplexing(SCM) method based on power allocation in descending order for fading broadcast channels in which per-user minimum and maximum rate constraints are considered in order to maximize the transmission effectiveness. It consists of three steps as follows. In the first step, a user group is selected to maximize the number of users with whom a transmitter can communicate instantaneously. In the second step, per-user power allocation for each user is done in descending order of transmit power by determining a maximum allowable interference power from all subsequent interfering users in order to guarantee its corresponding minimum rate, and then a residual power is calculated. The final step is performed if some power remains even after the second step. In this step, additional power allocation is performed up to the maximum transmit power to provide the maximum rate to the corresponding user, again in ascending order, starting from the last user in descending order. But, this method does not require power reallocation to subsequent users because tentative power allocation in the second step has been performed in descending order to guarantee the minimum rate for each user, taking into account the maximum allowable interference power from all the subsequent users. Therefore, the proposed method gets more efficient in term of computational complexity when per-user minimum as well as maximum rate constraints exist, especially as the number of users increases.

DVC(Distributed Video Coding) technique is a new paradigm, which is based on the Slepian-Wolf and Wyner-Ziv theorems. DVC offers not only flexible partitioning of the complexity between the encoder and decoder, but also robustness to channel errors due to intrinsic joint source-channel coding. Many conventional research works have been focused on the light video encoder and its rate-distortion performance improvement. However, in this paper, we propose a new DVC codec which is effectively applicable for error-prone environment. The proposed method adopts a quantiser without dead-zone and symmetric Gray code around zero value. Through computer simulations, the proposed method is evaluated by the bit errors position as well as the number of burst bit errors. Additionally, it is shown that the maximum and minimum transmission rate for the given application can be linearly determined by the number of bit errors.

H.264/AVC can use three transforms depending on types of residual data which are to be coded. H.264/AVC always executes $4{\times}4$ DCT transform. In $16{\times}16$ intra mode only, $4{\times}4$ Hadamard transform for luma DC coefficients and $2{\times}2$ Hadamard transform for chroma DC coefficients are performed additionally. Quantization is carried out to achieve further data compression after transform coding is completed. In this paper, the hardware implementation for DCT transform, Hadamard transform and quantization is studied. Especially, the proposed architecture adopting the pipeline technique can output a quantized result per clock cycle after 33-clock cycle latency. The proposed architecture is coded in Verilog-HDL and synthesized using Xilinx 7.1i ISE tool. The operating frequency is 106MHz at SPARTAN3S-1000. The designed IP can process maximum 33-frame at $1920{\times}1080$ HD resolution.

A multiview sequence CODEC with view scaiability is proposed in this paper. We define a GGOP (Group of GOP) structure as a basic coding unit to efficiently code multiview sequences. 7he proposed CODEC provides flexible GGOP structures based on the number of views and baseline distances among cameras. Multiview sequences encode consists of disparity estimation/compensation, motion estimation/compensation, residual coding and rate control and generates multiview sequence bitstream. The main bitstream is the same as an MPEG-2 mono-sequence bitstream for MPEG-2 compatibility. The auxiliary bitstream contains information concerning the remaining multiview sequences except for the reference sequences. The proposed CODEC with view scalability provides that a number of view flints are selectively determined at the receiver according to the type of display modes. The proposed multiview sequence CODEC is tested with several multiview sequences to determine its flexibility. compatibility with MPEG-2 and view scaiability. In addition, we subjectively confirm that the decoded bitstreams with view scaiability can be Properly displayed by several types of display modes. including 3D monitors.
