H.264(또는 MPEG-4/AVC pt.10) 압축 표준은 고성능 영상 압축 알고리즘으로 그 적용 범위를 넓혀 가고 있다. H.264 압축 표준의 가변길이 코드(Variable Length Code)는 데이터의 통계적 중복성의 특성을 이용하여 압축을 한다. 이러한 압축된 비트 스트림은 복호기에서 연속된 비트 스트림을 잘라내는 작업과 테이블에서 비트 스트림과 비교하는 작업을 진행하는데 순수 하드웨어 구현이 까다로운 연산부이다. 본 논문에서는 HD 영상을 실시간으로 복호 가능한 가변길이 복호기 구조를 제안한다. Exp-Golomb 복호기는 연산기로 구성되어 있으며, CAVLD는 테이블과 연산기를 혼합하여 최적화된 하드웨어로 설계하였다. 비트 스트림의 분할(parsing) 작업은 배럴 쉬프터(Barrel shifter)와 1값 감지기(First 1's detector)에서 진행되며, 이 두 유닛은 Exp-Golomb 복호기와 CAVLD가 공유하는 구조로 설계하여 불필요한 하드웨어를 제거하였다. CAVLD와 재정렬(Reorder) 유닛간의 병목현상으로 가변길이 복호기 뿐만 아니라 H.264 디코더 전체의 성능 저하가 나타나는 단점을 제거하기 위해서 CAVLD와 재정렬 유닛간 FIFO와 재정렬 유닛의 최종 출력에 메모리를 두어 병목현상을 제거하였다. 제안된 가변길이 복호기는 Verilog-HDL을 이용하여 설계하고 FPGA를 통해 검증하였다. 0.18um 표준 CMOS 공정을 사용한 합성 결과는 22,604 게이트 수이며, 동작 주파수 120MHz에서 HD 영상이 복호됨을 확인하였다.

동영상 압축 기술은 오랜 기간 동안 연구되었으며 H.264/AVC는 최근에 사용되고 있는 동영상 압축 표준 중 가장 효율적인 동영상 압축 표준으로 알려져 있다. H.264/AVC의 베이스 프로파일에서는 무손실 압축과정으로 기존의 VLC(Variable Length Coding) 방식 대신에 압축 효율을 향상시킨 CAVLC(Context-Adaptive Variable Length Coding)라는 압축 방식을 사용한다. CAVLC 복호기는 기존의 VLC 보다 많은 VLC 표가 필요하기 때문에 하드웨어로 구현하기에는 많은 면적을 요구하게 되며 소프트웨어로 구현 시에는 표 탐색에 의해서 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 CAVLC 복호기의 소프트웨어에서의 성능 저하를 막기 위해서 VLC 표를 계층적으로 집단화하여 코드만으로 주소를 정하고 정해진 VLC 표를 한번만 참조하여 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 C 언어로 모델링하였으며 ARM ADS1.2에서 컴파일하고 ARM9TDMI 프로세서 시스템을 Armulator를 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 실험 결과, H.264/AVC 표준 참조 프로그램인 JM(Joint Model) 10.2 보다 약 80%의 수행 시간 단축을 보였으며 최근 논문에서의 산술연산 알고리즘보다 15%의 성능 향상을 보였다.

There is some evidence that one of major factors to produce plantar fasciitis depends on the magnitude of the foot arch strain. The orthotics that can reduce the foot arch strain during locomotion may be effective to prevent or treat plantar fasciitis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of control condition and three types of foot orthotics on 3-dimensional foot arch strain that can produce plantar fasciitis during treadmill level and uphill walking and running. Sixteen male subjects are recruited and the arch length and height strain according to three types of foot orthotics with respect to control condition were measured by using two digital video cameras. The first hypothesis which the comfort of foot orthotics would be increased from arch pad, half length orthotics to full length orthotics was mostly accepted. It suggested that the types of the foot orthotics could be properly prescribed according foot regions that is pain or abnormal. The second hypothesis which the foot arch strain can be reduced by foot orthotics during level heel-toe walking and running and the third hypothesis which the foot arch strain can be reduced by foot orthotics during uphill heel-toe walking and running were rejected. The foot arch length and height strain during walking and running showed small and subject-specific characteristics and could not be optimal biomechanical variable to prove the overall comfort. The forth hypothesis which the foot arch strain cannot be reduced by foot orthotics during uphill toe walking and running was accepted. With the foot arch length and height strain during uphill toe walking and running the windlass mechanism suggested by Hicks can be explained successfully and excessive uphill toe walking and running can be one of cause of plantar fasciitis. The dynamic investigation on the foot arch such as walking and running should be carefully observed with integrated insights considering ligaments and foot bones as well as plantar fascia, extrinsic muscles and tendons, and intrinsic muscles and tendons.

In this paper, it is implemented the monitoring system for TV advertisement using video watermark. The functions of an advertisement monitoring system are automatically monitoring for the time, length, and index of the on-air advertisement, saving the log data, and reporting the monitoring result. The performance of the video watermark used in this paper is tested for TV advertisement monitoring. This test includes LAB test and field test. LAB test is done in laboratory environment and field test in actually broadcasting environment. LAB test includes PSNR, distortion measure in image, and the watermark detection rate in the various attack environment such as AD/DA(analog to digital and digital to analog) conversion, noise addition, and MPEG compression The result of LAB test is good for the TV advertisement monitoring. KOBACO and SBS are participated in the field test. The watermark detection rate is 100% in both the real-time processing and the saved file processing. The average deviation of the watermark detection time is 0.2 second, which is good because the permissible average error is 0.5 second.

Nowadays mobile devices are used for various applications such as making voice/video calls, browsing the Internet, listening to music etc. The average battery consumption of each of these activities and the length of time a user spends on each one determines the battery lifetime of a mobile device. Previous methods have provided predictions of battery lifetime using a static battery consumption rate that does not consider user characteristics. This paper proposes an approach to predict a mobile device's available battery lifetime based on usage patterns. Because every user has a different pattern of voice calls, data communication, and video call usage, we can use such usage patterns for personalized prediction of battery lifetime. Firstly, we define one or more states that affect battery consumption. Then, we record time-series log data related to battery consumption and the use time of each state. We calculate the average battery consumption rate for each state and determine the usage pattern based on the time-series data. Finally, we predict the available battery time based on the average battery consumption rate for each state and the usage pattern. We also present the experimental trials used to validate our approach in the real world.

In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, conventional interpolation techniques cannot correctly balance performance and overhead when estimating dynamic long-delay channels in single frequency networks (SFNs). In this study, classical filter analysis and design methods are employed to derive a complex interpolator for maximizing the resistible echo delay in a channel estimator on the basis of the correlation between frequency domain interpolating and time domain windowing. The coefficient computation of the complex interpolator requires a key parameter, i.e., channel length, which is obtained in the frequency domain with a tentative estimation scheme having low implementation complexity. The proposed complex adaptive interpolator is verified in a simulated digital video broadcasting for terrestrial/handheld receiver. The simulation results indicate that the designed channel estimator can not only handle SFN echoes with more than $200{\mu}s$ delay but also achieve a bit-error rate performance close to the optimum minimum mean square error method, which significantly outperforms conventional channel estimation methods, while preserving a low implementation cost in a short-delay channel.

본 연구에서는 DCT 영역에서 퍼지 측정값을 이용하여 동영상의 전송 대역폭을 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 비트량 할당을 위한 퍼지 측정값과 최소 왜곡을 초래하는 비트량 축소 방법으로 구성되며, 퍼지 측정값은 코드 길이, 불연속 애매성 및 수변 블록의 모멘텀으로 계산된다. 이러한 측정값은 가중치를 곱하여 계산되며 대역폭 축소의 적절한 정도를 나타내며 이러한 퍼지 애매성을 이용하여 각각의 DCT 블록은 최소 왜곡 방법에 의하여 필터링되어 동영상의 대역폭을 대상 네트워크 환경의 대역폭에 적합하도록 축소한다. 실험에서는 이러한 방법에 의하여 트랜스코딩된 영상의 화질이 시각적 및 양적으로 우월함을 나타내었고, 대역폭이 균일함을 보여준다.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of observing a self-video or a video of another person performing balance and gait training, followed by actual performance of the observed movements on the balance and walking ability of chronic stroke patients. METHODS: Thirty patients, who had experienced a stroke and were admitted to S rehabilitation hospital for treatment, were selected randomly and divided into three groups with 10 patients each: self-action observation (SAO) group, other-action observation (OAO) group, and treadmill walking training (TWT) group. The training program was conducted five times per week for four weeks. The GAITRite system, 10 m walking test, and timed up and go test were performed to measure the subjects' gait and balance ability. RESULTS: The velocity, cadence, double support, and stride length were increased significantly in the SAO and OAO groups (p<.05) but the T group showed no significant changes; no significant difference was observed among the groups (p >.05). The 10MWT decreased significantly in the OAO group (p<.05), but there were no significant changes in the SAO and T groups, and no significant difference was observed among the groups (p>.05). The TUG decreased significantly in the SAO and OAO groups (p<.05), but there were no significant changes in the T group, and no significant difference was observed among the groups (p>.05). CONCLUSION: The self or other action observation training helps improve the balance and gait ability.
