Recently, with the development of broadcasting communication, users expect to receive high quality and various broadcasting services anytime, anywhere. In the case of terrestrial broadcasting, HD broadcasting and mobile broadcasting are provided at different frequencies. In the case of terrestrial UHD, which recently started trial broadcasting, 700MHz frequency is used which is different from the existing one. If the contents of the same contents are transmitted at different frequencies, it can be considered ineffective in terms of the use efficiency of the terrestrial broadcast frequency. As a method to solve this problem, a transmission system model and a service have been proposed for transmitting the hierarchical encoded UHD contents by SHVC on the basis of the multimedia transmission technology MMT in a heterogeneous network environment combining broadcast network and communication network. However, it is still in the initial stage of study the receiving model that can reliably receive various quality UHD contents in various environments such as mobile and fixed environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a receive buffer model that can reliably receive UHD contents layered on SHVC based on MMT.

기존에 H.264를 기본 계층으로 SVC와 MVC를 결합한 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화기를 SVC와 MVC의 DPB를 통합한 통합형 DPB(Decoded Picture Buffer) 설계를 바탕으로 구현하였다. 그러나 구현된 비디오 부호화기로 HD급 이상의 해상도를 갖는 영상을 압축하는데 있어서 효과적인 성능이 나오지 않았다. 이러한 이유로 SHVC와 MV-HEVC의 부호화 구조를 결합하여 고해상도 처리를 위한 스케일러블 다시점 부호화기 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 통해서 SHVC와 MV-HEVC가 통합된 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화를 효율적으로 구현할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

실감형 디스플레이 장치들을 지원하기 위해 다시점 영상을 효율적으로 코딩하는 방법은 다시점 비디오 코딩 방법과 다양한 전송 환경과 다양한 종류의 단말들을 통합적으로 지원할 수 있는 스케일러블 비디오 코딩 방법은 존재하지만, 현재 유비쿼터스 환경에서 실감형 서비스를 지원하면서 동시에 다양한 환경을 지원할 수 있는 통합된 동영상 정보를 생성하는 방법은 존재하지 않는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 통합된 동영상 정보를 생성하는 다중 확장 비디오 코딩의 개념과 동작에 대해 설명하고 최적의 inter layer 참조 영상 선택 방법에 대해 분석한다.

This paper proposes a fast enhancement layer coding method to reduce computational complexity for Scalable HEVC (SHVC) which is based on High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The proposed method decreases encoding time by simplifying Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO)for enhancement layers (EL). The simplification is achieved by restricting CU depths based on the correlation of coding unit (CU) depths between adjacent layers and scalability (spatial or quality) of EL. Comparing with the performance of SHM 1.0 software encoder, the proposed method reduces the encoding time by up to 31.5%.

근래의 무선망 및 인터넷의 초고속화에 따라 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스가 활성화되고 있으며, 특히 방송 통신 융합망의 등장으로 인해 압축 부호화 기술만을 개발하던 시기와 달리 멀티미디어의 생성, 전송 및 소비 환경의 다양한 조건들에서 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하기 위해 비디오 부호화의 스케일러빌러티를 제공하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 고에서는 스케일러블 비디오 부호화의 개요에 대해 설명하고, 차세대 압축 표준인 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)를 기반으로 시간적, 공간적, 화질적 스케일러빌러티를 제공하는 SHVC(Scalable HEVC)의 표준화와 이를 이용한 기술 개발 동향을 소개한다.

Recently as the studies on the combined delivery over multiple transmission media are progressed, studies using MMT which is next-generation multimedia transport standard are underway. They are about transmitting video data layered by SHVC through broadcasting network and communication network based on MMT. However, it is difficult to serve synchronized UHD contents in heterogeneous network environment based on MMT, because MMT standard doesn't fully specify the information to indicate the relationship between media. Also, the service that we want to propose in this paper is a broadcasting-based service such as terrestrial broadcasting. Therefore the user must be able to watch various contents continuously. However, the MMT PI(Presentation Information) that controls the spatio-temporal layout of a content has been described as providing only one content. In this paper, we propose the structure of MXD document and MMT PI to provide continuous UHD contents service based on heterogeneous network.

In this Paper, we propose 8K UHD (Ultra High Definition) encapsulation method for efficient transmission and reception based on MMT (MPEG Media Transport). Broadcasting services for 8K UHD allow users to feel the maximized reality. However, present technology is difficult to provide 8K UHD in broadcasting networks, because the 8K UHD bitrate is too high to be transmitted in the current broadcasting networks. Research for transmitting 8K UHD is underway. In some researches, a receiver is implemented with four 4K UHD display instead of a 8K UHD display. In order to transmit 8K UHD within the limited transmission bitrate of broadcasting network, 8K UHD contents encoded by SHVC (Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding) and then transmitted over heterogeneous network. For using the broadcasting and communication networks, MMT standard is used. MMT is IP based transmission protocol as the next generation transmission protocol. According to the MMT standard, video stream encapsulated and transmitted in MMTP (MMT Protocol) packet. IP-based broadcasting and communication networks can be used to transmit simultaneously, and the receiver can synchronize and play it. We propose an encapsulation method that can efficiently transmit and receive 8K UHD. The proposed method increases a payload rate and decreases an initial delay at the receiver. We show that the efficiency of the proposed method is verified by experimental tests.
