A real-time frame-layer rate control algorithm with a token bucket traffic shaper is proposed for distortion variation minimization. The proposed rate control method uses a non-iterative optimization method for low computational complexity, and performs bit allocation at the frame level to minimize the average distortion over an entire sequence as well as variations in distortion between frames. The proposed algorithm does not produce time delay from encoding, and is suitable for real-time low-complexity video encoder. Experimental results indicate that the proposed control method provides better visual and PSNR performances than the existing rate control method.

In this paper, for analysing the major factors giving the effect to the quality of HD level video on the multicasting service, we tried this test experiment on the College school network similar to the real service network environment. We measure the video quality distortion on the multicasting HD level video according to generating and increasing the broadcasting traffic on the situation that apply the QoS technique to the test network and not apply the QoS technique and then find out the threshold value of network factors giving the effect to the video quality distortion on the multicasting HD level video service. This paper can be used for guaranteeing the constant video quality and reducing the video quality distortion on the multicasting HD level video service.

The state-of-the-art video-based point cloud compression(V-PCC) has a high efficiency of compressing 3D point cloud by projecting points onto 2D images. These images are then padded and compressed by High-Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC). Pixels in padded 2D images are classified into three groups including origin pixels, padded pixels and unoccupied pixels. Origin pixels are generated from projection of 3D point cloud. Padded pixels and unoccupied pixels are generated by copying values from origin pixels during image padding. For padded pixels, they are reconstructed to 3D space during geometry reconstruction as well as origin pixels. For unoccupied pixels, they are not reconstructed. The rate distortion optimization(RDO) used in HEVC is mainly aimed at keeping the balance between video distortion and video bitrates. However, traditional RDO is unreliable for padded pixels and unoccupied pixels, which leads to significant waste of bits in geometry reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new RDO scheme which takes 3D-Distortion into account instead of traditional video distortion for padded pixels and unoccupied pixels. Firstly, these pixels are classified based on the occupancy map. Secondly, different strategies are applied to these pixels to calculate their 3D-Distortions. Finally, the obtained 3D-Distortions replace the sum square error(SSE) during the full RDO process in intra prediction and inter prediction. The proposed method is applied to geometry frames. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves an average of 31.41% and 6.14% bitrate saving for D1 metric in Random Access setting and All Intra setting on geometry videos compared with V-PCC anchor.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the newest video coding standard for improvement in video data compression. This new standard provides a significant improvement in picture quality, especially for high-resolution videos. A quadtree-based structure is created for the encoding and decoding processes and the rate-distortion (RD) cost is calculated for all possible dimensions of coding units in the quadtree. To get the best combination of the block an optimization process is performed in the encoder, called rate distortion optimization (RDO). In this work we are proposing a novel approach to enhance the overall RDO process of HEVC encoder. The proposed algorithm is performed in two steps. In the first step, like HEVC, it performs general rate distortion optimization. The second step is an extra checking where a SSIM based cost is evaluated. Moreover, a fast SSIM (FSSIM) calculation technique is also proposed in this paper.

파노라마(Panorama) 및 360도 영상과 같은 몰입형(Immersive) 미디어 영상은 영상 내 공간을 사용자가 직접 방문한 것 같은 현장감을 제공해야하므로 실제 세계의 모습을 사실 그대로 나타낼 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 파노라마 및 360도 영상에서는 촬영 카메라들간의 시차(Parallax)로 인해 사물이 사라지거나 중복해서 나타나는 현상이 나타나며, 이와 같은 시차 왜곡은 사용자의 콘텐츠 몰입을 방해할 수 있다. 이에 따라서, 시차 왜곡을 극복하기 위한 많은 동영상 스티칭 알고리즘이 제안되고 있지만, Object detection 모듈의 낮은 성능과 Seam 생성 방식 등의 제한으로 여전히 시차 왜곡이 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기존 동영상 스티칭 기술의 제한 사항을 분석하고, 해당 동영상 스티칭 기술의 제한을 극복하기 위하여 LDPM(Local Differential Pixel Mean) 영상 평가를 활용한 동영상 스티칭의 시차 왜곡 검출 및 정정 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, in wireless video sensor networks(WVSN), various schemes for efficient video data transmission have been studied. In this paper, a layer based cooperative relaying(LCR) algorithm is proposed for minimizing scalable video transmission distortion from packet loss in WVSN. The proposed LCR algorithm consists of two modules. In the first step, a parameter based error propagation metric is proposed to predict the effect of each scalable layer on video quality degradation at low complexity. In the second step, a layer-based cooperative relay algorithm is proposed to minimize distortion due to packet loss using the proposed error propagation metric and channel information of the video sensor node and relay node. In the experiment, the proposed algorithm showed that the improvement of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in various channel environments, compared to the previous algorithm(Energy based Cooperative Relaying, ECR) without considering the metric of error propagation.The proposed LCR algorithm minimizes video quality degradation from packet loss using both the channel information of relaying node and the amount of layer based error propagation in scalable video.

When the multiple video sources are together transmitted through the channel of fixed bandwidth, the efficiently picture quality method is necessary. This paper presents the picture quality control method to keep the same distortion level among the video sources. We first find a model of distortion and bitrate for the multiplexing system of multiple sources. Then we obtain the bitrate for each source to have same distortion level among the sources by using the approximated model parameters for simple implementation.

본 논문에서는 다중 표현(Multiple Description)과 비트율-왜곡 연산자(rate-distortion operator)를 이용하여 에러가 발생하기 쉬운 환경에서 사용될 수 있는 강인한 동영상 압축 알고리듬을 제안한다. 하나의 비디오 스트림을 두 개의 연관된 표현 (description)으로 나누기 위해 과잉 비트율-왜곡(redundancy rate-distortion : RRD) 기준을 사용하였다. 제안하는 방법은 새로 추가한 비트율-왜곡 연산자와 새로 제안된 최적화 방법을 통해 기존의 RRD 기반 방법들보다 최적화 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 실질적인 에러 환경을 고려한 새로운 왜곡 측정법(distortion measure)을 정의하였다. 제안하는 다중 표현 동영상 압축기는 H.263 표준을 기반으로 하기 때문에 각각의 표현은 H.263 표준 디코더를 사용하여 독립적으로 디코딩 될 수 있다. 또한, 기존의 방법과는 달리 손실된 표현에 대한 복잡한 예측과정이 없어도 간단한 병합 과정을 통해 여러 개의 표현을 하나의 스트림으로 디코딩 할 수 있다. 모의 실험 결과, 제안하는 다중 표현 동영상 압축 방법은 기존의 다중 표현 분할(multiple description split) 방법보다 모든 비트율에서 더 좋은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

Several video coding standards, such as MPEG-4 and H.263, have been investigated to reduce the resulting number of bits while pursuing the maximum video quality. The recent video coding standard, H.264, provides higher coding efficiency than previous coding standards by using the mode decision scheme. For mode decision, H.264 chooses the best macroblock mode among the several candidates using Lagrangian cost function which reflects both the rate and the distortion. H.264 employs only one rate-distortion optimization (RDO) model for all macroblocks. Since the characteristics of each macroblock is different, each macroblock should have its own RDO model. In this paper, we propose an adaptive rate-distortion optimization algorithm for H.264. We regulate the Lagrangian multiplier considering the picture type and characteristics of each macroblock.
