Stereo vision has become an important technical issue in the field of 3D imaging, machine vision, robotics, image analysis, and so on. The depth map extraction from stereo video is a key technology of stereoscopic 3D video requiring stereo correspondence algorithms. This is the matching process of the similarity measure for each disparity value, followed by an aggregation and optimization step. Since it requires a lot of computational power, there are significant speed-performance advantages when exploiting parallel processing available on processors. In this situation, multi-core CPU may allow many parallel programming technologies to be realized in users computing devices. This paper proposes parallel implementations for calculating disparity map using a shared memory programming and exploiting the streaming SIMD extension technology. By doing so, we can take advantage both of the hardware and software features of multi-core processor. For the performance evaluation, we implemented a parallel SAD algorithm with OpenMP and SSE2. Their processing speeds are compared with non parallel version on stereoscopic streaming video. The experimental results show that both technologies have a significant effect on the performance and achieve great improvements on processing speed.

Free-viewpoint video (FVV) service provides multi viewpoints of contents and synthesizes intermediate video files which are not captured on some view angles so that enables users to watch as they choose wherever they want. Synthesizing video is necessary technique to provide FVV video service, because every video of the FVV contents for different view angles cannot be stored to the content server physically. For the reason, fast view synthesis can improve the quality of video service and increase user's satisfaction. One of the studies for FVV service, a method was proposed to transmit FVV service based on DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). There is big advantage on using DASH that it is commonly used to transport video service. However, the method was only a conceptual proposal, so it is difficult to implement the system using the proposal. In this paper, we propose an implementation method to provide real-time FVV service smoothly. We suggest a system structure and operation method on the server and client side in detail, which is to be applicable to synthesize video quickly. Also, we suggest generating FVV service map additionally which controls a FVV service overall. We manage real-time information of the whole service through the service map. The service can be controlled by reducing the possible delay from network situation.

본 연구는 초상권을 보호할 수 있는 실시간 영상 모자이크 서비스이다. 실시간 모자이크 서비스에서는 모자이크 처리를 제외하기 위한 이용자 얼굴 등록 기능을 갖고 있다. 이렇게 등록된 얼굴정보는 실시간 영상 스티리밍 서비스에서 모자이크가 되지 않도록 한다. 즉, 모자이크를 원하지 않는 정보를 미리 시스템에 등록하여 실시간 서비스에 어떠한 부분을 모자이크에서 제외 할 것인지 세팅하여 실시간 스트리밍 서비스를 제공한다. 기존 기술과의 차이점은 사람의 얼굴뿐만 아니라 방송에 나오면 안 되는 흉기나 담배 등을 모자이크 처리해 줄 수 있는 기능을 제공하고, 실시간으로 모자이크된 영상 스트리밍 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다.

In this paper, we propose a real time video codec adapter for enabling video communications with terminals having a codec which is different from each other. When multimedia services are playing with an office service phone such as a video phone or software phone which has video capability, each terminal is not being considered to have optimized video or voice codec. So when a video phone with only one type of video codec is used in the video streaming service which requires another type of codec, the streaming service is not successful without codec transformation. The real time codec adapter in this paper provides a real time code transformation which enables communication services such as video conferencing between terminals which have different codec.

In-vehicle multimedia systems are one of the most important factors in the automotive industry. Especially, multimedia systems are more important in advanced commercial vehicles such as premium express buses. In this paper, we proposed a multimedia streaming system architecture using MEP(MOST Ethernet Packets) for premium express buses based on MOST150. We have designed and implemented the prototype of proposed multimedia streaming system. We have designed a board based on i.MX6 to operate a proposed multimedia streaming system. The software has designed a multimedia system for premium express buses based on Android which is an open source platform. MOST(Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a high-speed multimedia network technology for in-vehicle multimedia system. The MOST network is able to manage up to 64 devices and ring topology is used basically. In addition, the MOST Network meets EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference)/ EMC(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) requirements because it uses plastic optical fibers(POF).

Due to the large sizes of streaming media, previous delivery techniques are not providing optimal performance. For this purpose, video proxy server is employed for reducing the bandwidth consumption, network congestion, and network traffic. This paper proposes a fast distributed network file system using state transition model in the media streaming system for efficient utilization of video proxy server. The proposed method is composed of three steps: step 1. Training process using state transition model, step 2. base and decision probability generation, and step 3. storing and deletion based on probability. In addition, storage space of video proxy server is divided into each segment area in order to store the segments efficiently and to avoid the fragmentation. The simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than other methods in terms of hit rate and number of deletion. Therefore, the proposed method provides the lowest user start-up latency and the highest bandwidth saving significantly.

An XML is widely used for web services, such as SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (Representational State Transfer), and also de facto standard for representing data. Since the XML parser using DOM(Document Object Model) requires a preprocessing task creating a DOM-tree, and then storing it into memory, embedded systems with limited resources typically employ a streaming XML parser without preprocessing. In this paper, we propose a new architecture for the streaming XML parser using an APSearch(Adaptive Parallel Search) on FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). Compared to other approaches, the proposed APSearch parser dramatically reduces overhead on the software side and achieves about 2.55 and 2.96 times improvement in the time needed for an XML parsing. Therefore, our APSearch parser is suitable for systems to speed up XML parsing.

According to growing of the plant cultivation in a greenhouse environment, the demand of a system to control the greenhouse easier has increased. Currently, the methods to control by the mobile App represent the information in a greenhouse environment with a simple numerical data or compose only the contents with a limited degree of freedom. In order to solve these problems, this paper presents a system that can be viewed or controlled greenhouse conditions in near / remote distance using augmented reality and MQTT communication protocol, RTSP media streaming protocol. The proposed method is implemented in Android smartphone environment and acts monitoring the information (temperature, humidity, illuminance) obtained by greenhouse's sensors and transmits the real time greenhouse's video using RTSP in the remote distance, and controls the values of temperature, humidity, illuminance for the greenhouse using the augmented reality in the near distance.

Free-viewpoint video (FVV) is a synthesization technology that generates a virtual viewpoint video using multiple videos recorded via wireless devices at heterogeneous locations. In order to introduce a new service that grafts the FVV onto the real-time streaming service using wireless devices, we need to overcome several constraints. Two main factors of those constraints are the limited wireless capacity that are shared fairly by multiple devices, and the transmission time constraint with which live streaming services have to comply. Therefore, for optimal quality of entire videos, a set of transmitting devices should be effectively selected depending on the condition of wireless channel and the required video popularity of specific viewpoint requested from users. For optimal selection, this study proposes a heuristic algorithm that takes into account the aforementioned factors from possible wireless transmission error behaviors and the requested viewpoint popularity. Through analysis and simulation, we show that with this algorithm, quality of most popular viewpoint videos is guaranteed. Furthermore, performance comparison against the existing scheme which is based only on the location of recording devices is made.
