This paper evaluates the performance of multilayer VVC and SHVC. Multilayer VVC supports a multi-layer coding and many coding technologies have been added and extended compared to SHVC. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate the multi-layer coding performance of VVC and the coding performance for inter-layer reference prediction. Multilayer VVC provides significant BD-rate improvement of AI 24.4%, RA 29.4%, LDB 29.4%, LDP 32.6% on average when compared to SHVC, so that it is shown that VVC can provide scalability more efficiently. On the other hand, the complexity of the encoding time increases by an average of 14 times and decoding time by an average of 1.8 times, which requires efforts to reduce the complexity.

SHVC(Scalable High efficiency Video Coding)는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스 환경에서 높은 코딩 효율을 위해 공간적, 시간적, 화질적 스케일러빌리티를 이용한 표준 기술이다. SHVC는 멀티-계층 부/복호화를 수행하기 때문에 싱글-계층인 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) 보다 추가적인 복잡도를 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 SHVC 복호화기의 복잡도를 분석하고 SHVC 복호화기에서 높은 복잡도를 차지하는 프레임 기반 업샘플링을 PU 기반 On-the-fly 업샘플링(On-the-fly Up-sampling) 방법과 SIMD 연산을 통해 고속화 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘이 적용된 SHVC 복호화기는 기존 SHVC 복호화기의 복호화 시간보다 평균 1.23배 고속화 성능을 보이며 업샘플링의 복잡도가 24.7%에서 1.9%로 감소하였다. On-the-fly 업샘플링 과정은 기존 프레임 레벨 업샘플링 과정 대비 평균 90.3% 수행시간 감소율을 보인다.

Current communication networks consist of channels with various throughputs, protocols, and packet loss rates. Moreover, there are also diverse user multimedia consumption devices having different capabilities and screen sizes. Thus, a practical necessity of scalability on video coding have been gradually increasing. Recently, The Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding(SHVC) standard is developed by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding(JCT-VC) organized in cooperation with MPEG of ISO/IEC and VCEG of ITU-T. This paper introduces coding tools of SHVC including adopted and unadopted tools discussed in the process of the SHVC standardization. Furthermore, the individual tool and combined tool set are evaluated in terms of coding efficiency relative to a single layer coding structure. This analysis would be useful for developing a fast SHVC encoder as well as researching on a new scalable coding tool.

When a terrestrial UHD broadcasting service and a mobile HD broadcasting service are provided using the PLP function provided by ATSC 3.0 and domestic UHD broadcasting standard, a small amount of data may be additionally transmitted to further provide high quality UHD-3D broadcasting service. The left and right images of the stereoscopic image are input, one view image is encoded by the SHVC method, and the other view images are encoded by the SHVC method of the two-view cross-referencing method. However, since the base layers (BL) of the two encoders are mutually common, the two encoders correspond to encoders that generate one BL stream and two enhancement layer (EL) streams. The average encoding efficiency is 16% more efficient compared to the third independent HEVC encoding for the UHD-3D broadcast service. The proposed scheme reduces the fluctuation of PSNR per image frame and increases the image quality of minimum PSNR frame by 0.6dB.

Point Cloud which is a cluster of numerous points can express 3D object beyond the 2D plane. Each point contains 3D coordinate and color data basically, reflectance or etc. additionally. Point Cloud demand research and development much higher effective compression technology. Video-based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) technology in development and standardization based on the established video codec. Despite its high effective compression technology, point cloud service will be limited by terminal spec and network conditions. 2D video had the same problems. To remedy this kind of problem, 2D video is using Scalable High efficiency Video Coding (SHVC), Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) or diverse technology. This paper proposed a density scalability method using SHVC codec in V-PCC.

Video based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) is one of the compression methods for compressing point clouds, and shows high efficiency in dynamic point cloud compression with movement due to the feature of compressing point cloud data using an existing video codec. Accordingly, V-PCC is drawing attention as a core technology for immersive content services such as AR/VR. In order to effectively service these V-PCC contents through a media streaming platform, it is necessary to encapsulate them in the existing media file format, ISO based Media File Format (ISOBMFF). However, in order to service through an adaptive streaming platform such as Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), it is necessary to encode V-PCC contents of various qualities and store them in the server. Due to the size of the 2D media, it causes a great burden on the encoder and the server compared to the existing 2D media. As a method to solve such a problem, it may be considered to configure a streaming platform based on content obtained through V-PCC content encoding based on SHVC. Therefore, this paper encapsulates the SHVC-based V-PCC bitstream into ISOBMFF suitable for DASH service and proposes a configuration method to service it. In addition, in this paper, we propose ISOBMFF encapsulation and DASH configuration method to effectively service SHVC-based V-PCC contents, and confirm them through verification experiments.

Based on the fact that high similarities exist between viewpoints of multi-view images, MV-HEVC achieves high encoding efficiency by performing conventional temporal direction prediction in a single viewpoint as well as inter-view prediction between viewpoints. In this paper, we propose to integrate SHVC and MVC (Multi-view Video Coding) to implement scalable multi-view video encoder using HEVC as a base layer. According to experimental results, it is verified that the BD-PSNR improvement reaches up to 1.5dB while reducing the BD-Bitrate by around 50~60%.

네트워크 기술과 멀티미디어 압축 기술이 발달함에 따라 사용자들은 고화질의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 무선 환경에서도 끊김 없이 제공 받기를 원하고 있다. 또한, 스마트폰과 스마트패드와 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 장치가 일상생활에서 보편적으로 사용되면서 디바이스 간에 끊김 없는 미디어의 연동을 가능케 하는 N-스크린 서비스가 점차 확산되고 있다. 이러한 시장의 흐름에 발맞춰 JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding)는 차세대 동영상 압축 표준 기술인 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)를 바탕으로 공간적 (Spatial), 화질적 (Temporal) 스케일러빌리티 (Scalability)를 제공하는 확장 표준인 SHVC (Scalable HEVC)를 표준화 중에 있다. JCT-VC는 SHVC 부호화 기술들을 평가하기 위하여 SCE (Scalable Core Experiment)를 진행하고 있으며, SHVC 표준은 2014년 6월에 표준화가 완료 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 고에서는 비디오 스케일 러빌리티의 기본 개념 및 SHVC 표준화 과정에서 제안된 주요부호화 기술들과 이슈들을 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 휘도 및 색차 성분에 따른 SHVC 계층간 참조 픽처 생성 방법의 부호화 성능을 분석한다. SHVC 상위 계층에서는 하위 계층의 픽처를 DCT-IF 기반 업샘플링하여 사용한다. 상위 계층의 부호화 성능을 높이기 위해 딥러닝 기반 필터링을 이용하여 휘도, 색차 성분의 고주파 신호 복원이 부호화 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 기존 Y 성분에만 VDSR 네트워크를 이용하여 필터링을 적용하였을 때보다 색차 성분까지 필터링을 진행할 경우 최대 2.18%, 평균 1.5% 감소된 결과를 보였다.
