Recently, the standardization of SVC technology which can provide adaptive video quality in diverse service environments has been completed. This paper proposes a layered encryption technique which takes into account the prioritized layer characteristics of SVC and control constant encryption complexity satisfying the target computational complexity. In particular, it analyzes the importance of NAL unit in the SVC video layer and suggests a method to apply appropriate encryption complexity proper for it. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved through the comparison of time required for encryption and the reconstructed video quality using imperfect decryption key.

In order to fedice the computational complexity of the motion estimation for the spatio-temporal prediction of the higher layer, two estimation method are proposed. In the first one, the motion vector of the higher layer is estimated within the small search range by using the previously estimated motion vector in the lower layer as an innitial vector. Inthe second one, the notion vector is estimated by the spatio-temporally weighted search, which is combined with the previously estimated motion vector of the lower layer and the weight for spatial prediction. Simulation results show that the proposed methods give the smaller computational complexity without the degradation of the coding efficiency than the conventinal one.

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.

Explosively growing service of digital multimedia data increases the need for highly scalable low-cost storage. This paper proposes the new storage architecture based on torus network which does not need network switch and erasure coding for efficient storage usage for high scalability and efficient disk utilization. The proposed model has to compensate for the disadvantage of long network latency and network processing overhead of torus network. The proposed storage model was compared to two most popular distributed file system, GlusterFS and Ceph distributed file systems through a prototype implementation. The performance of prototype system shows outstanding results than erasure coding policy of two file systems and mostly even better results than replication policy of them.

Since the resolutions of videos increase rapidly, there are continuing needs for effective video compression methods despite an increase in the transmission bandwidth. In order to satisfy such a demand, a reconstructive video coding (RVC) method by using a super resolution has been proposed. Since RVC reduces the resolution of the input video, when frames are compressed to the same size, the number of bits per pixel increases, thereby reducing coding artifacts caused by video coding. However, RVC method using super resolution is not effective in all target bitrates. Comparing the size of the loss generated while downsizing the resolution and the size of the loss caused by the video compression, only when the size of loss generated in the video compression is larger, RVC method can perform the improved compression performance compared to direct video coding. In particular, since HEVC has considerably higher compression performance than the previous standard video codec, it can be experimentally confirmed that the compression distortions become larger than the distortions of downsizing the resolution only in the very low-bitrate conditions. In this paper, we applied RVC based HEVC in various video types and measured the target bitrates that RVC method can be effectively applied.

In this paper, we propose a reference picture generation method for Inter-layer prediction based deep learning to improve the SHVC coding performance. A description will be given of a structure for performing filtering using a VDSR network on a DCT-IF based upsampled picture to generate a new reference picture and a training method for generating a reference picture between SHVC Inter-layer. The proposed method is implemented based on SHM 12.0. In order to evaluate the performance, we compare the method of generating Inter-layer predictor by applying dictionary learning. As a result, the coding performance of the enhancement layer showed a bitrate reduction of up to 13.14% compared to the method using dictionary learning, a bitrate reduction of up to 15.39% compared to SHM, and a bitrate reduction of 6.46% on average.

A high throughput parallel decoding method is developed for context-based adaptive variable length codes. In this paper, several new design ideas are devised and implemented for scalable parallel processing, a reduction in area, and a reduction in power requirements. First, simplified logical operations instead of memory lookups are used for parallel processing. Second, the codes are grouped based on their lengths for efficient logical operation. Third, up to M bits of the input stream can be analyzed simultaneously. For comparison, we designed a logical-operation-based parallel decoder for M=8 and a conventional parallel decoder. High-speed parallel decoding becomes possible with our method. In addition, for similar decoding rates (1.57 codes/cycle for M=8), our new approach uses 46% less chip area than the conventional method.

In this paper, we proposed a new MCTF (Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering) technique and its hardware (H/W) architecture for SVC (Scalable Video Coding). Since the proposed MCTF Kernel has a extensible architecture, it executes temporal filtering using (5,3) and (3,1) lifting operation. Also it has the same output data rate as the input, and it can continuously produce filtered frames after some latency time. Since the proposed architecture has simpler architecture than previous ones, it is easily mapped into H/W and has optimized memory usage rate and low cost.
