In this paper, Inter user interference elimination algorithm based on Block Diagonal Geometric Mean Decomposition(BD-GMD) for eliminating inter user interference apply to Zero-Forcing in the Successive Signal to Leakage plus Noise Ratio(SSLNR) in Coordinated Multi-Point Coordinated Beamforming system(CoMP CB). As a result, the leakage power is eliminated. The inter user interference elimination algorithm, however, cannot guarantee the enough desired signal power therefore we perform the channel ordering to overcome this disadvantage and increase the desired signal power. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides the improved Bit Error Rate(BER) performance compared with existing SSLNR-Zero-Forcing-Tomlinson Harashima precoding(SSLNR-ZF-THP).

A block-based fast motion estimation algorithm is proposed in this paper to perform motion estimation based on the efficiently reduced search ranges in MPEG-4(ERS). This algorithm divides the search areas into several small search areas and the candidate small search area that has the lowest average of sum norm difference between current macroblock and candidate macroblock is chosen to perform block motion estimation using the Nobel Successive Elimination Algorithm (NSEA). Experimental results of the proposed algorithm show that the averaging PSNR improvement is better maximum 0.125 dB than other tested algorithms and bit saving effect is maximum 20kbps for some tested sequences in low-bit rate circumstance.

In this paper, a fast motion search algorithm that performs motion search for variable blocks in integer pixel unit is proposed. The proposed method is based on the successive elimination algorithm (SEA) using sum norms to find the best estimate of motion vector and obtains the best estimate of the motion vectors of blocks, including 16${\times}$8, 8${\times}$16, and 8${\times}$8, by searching eight pixels around the best motion vector of 16${\times}$16 block obtained from all candidates. And the motion vectors of blocks, including 8${\times}$4, 4${\times}$8, and 4${\times}$4, is obtained by searching eight pixels around the best motion vector of 8${\times}$8 block. The proposed motion search is applied to the H.264 encoder that performs variable blocks motion estimation (ME). In terms of computational complexity, the proposed search algorithm for motion estimation (ME) calculates motion vectors in about 23.8 times speed compared with the spiral full search without early termination and 4.6 times speed compared with the motion estimation method using hierarchical sum of absolute difference (SAD) of 4${\times}$4 blocks, while it shows 0.1dB∼0.4dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) drop in comparison to the spiral full search.

본 논문은 비디오 압축 알고리즘 중 움직임 예측에 해당하는 논문이다. 이와 관련하여 FS와 같은 PSNR을 유지하면서 계산량을 줄이는 SEA, MSEA 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문은 SEA 와 MSEA와 같은 알고리즘에서 이전블록의 sumnorm을 가지고 현재블록의 합과 차이를 구하여서 낮은 순으로 탐색 지점을 탐색하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법으로 SADmin을 빨리 찾게 되서 후보 탐색지점들을 높은 확률로 제거함으로써 계산량을 줄이는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

오늘날 컴퓨터와 데이터 통신의 급속한 발달로 인해 멀티미디어 정보통신 기술이 비약적으로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 데이터 중에서 동영상은 다른 데이터 형태에 비해 정보량이 매우 방대하다. 따라서 동영상을 처리하는 시스템에서는 압축 기법이 매우 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 이에 본 논문은 연속제거 알고리즘을 기반으로 이전블록 초기 움직임 벡터 사용 및 strip단위 블록 합을 통하여 고속의 움직임 추정을 통해 영상을 복호화 하였고, 기존의 완전탐색 블록 정합방식과 영상 복원 능력 및 연산량을 비교 평가하였다. 뿐만 아니라 이후 이를 바탕으로 고속 움직임 추정 모듈을 VHDL로 구현하여 본 논문의 프로그램을 성능평가의 기준으로 이용할 것이다.

This Paper proposes an adaptive error diffusioThis paper proposes an adaptive error diffusion algorithm for text enhancement followed by an efficient text segmentation that uses the maximum gradient difference (MGD). The gradients are calculated along with scan lines, and the MGD values are filled within a local window to merge the potential text segments. Isolated segments are then eliminated in the non-text region filtering process. After the left segmentation, a conventional error diffusion method is applied to the background, while the edge enhancement error diffusion is used for the text. Since it is inevitable that visually objectionable artifacts are generated when using two different halftoning algorithms, the gradual dilation is proposed to minimize the boundary artifacts in the segmented text blocks before halftoning. Sharpening based on the gradually dilated text region (GDTR) prevents the printing of successive dots around the text region boundaries. The error diffusion algorithm with edge enhancement is extended to halftone color images to sharpen the tort regions. The proposed adaptive error diffusion algorithm involves color halftoning that controls the amount of edge enhancement using a general error filter. The multiplicative edge enhancement parameters are selected based on the amount of edge sharpening and color difference. Plus, the additional error factor is introduced to reduce the dot elimination artifact generated by the edge enhancement error diffusion. By using the proposed algorithm, the text of a scanned image is sharper than that with a conventional error diffusion without changing background.
