본 논문에서는 DirectShow 환경의 영상플레이어에 화면 분할, 영상 칠판, 영상 전달등의 기능을 추가한 시스템에 대하여 연구를 하였다. 기존 DirectShow 환경의 영상플레이어에서는 단순히 영상 동작에 제한된 기능만 제공 되어 지기 때문에 영상 제어 하는데 사용자들의 불편이 따르고 있다. 이에 반해, 본 시스템을 사용할 경우 사용자는 DirectShow에서 제공되는 VMR-9(Video Mixing Renderer) Overlay 기술을 통해서 도형으로 영상을 강조 할 수 있으며, network filter Interface 기능을 추가해서 영상 공유 기능을 이용하여 다른 사용자에게 네트워크로 실시간으로 영상 화면을 전달 하여 동시에 영상을 감상 할 수 있어서 사용자에게 편의 제공이 가능하다.

The next generation communication environment consists of various wireless access networks with distinct features that are configured as an overlay topology. In the network environments, the frequency of hand overs should be minimized and the error propagation should be solved in order to provide high-quality multimedia services to mobile users. Therefore, we propose an performance enhancement approach, based on mSCTP, that provides high quality multimedia services to mobile users by ameliorating the error propagation problem. We utilizes the following four functions: 1) the separation of transmission paths according to the types of frames. 2) retransmission strategy to minimize the loss rate of frames, 3) Foced vertical handover execution by utilizing bicasting, 4) using the stability period in order to reduce the effect of the ping pong phenomenon. The simulation results show that the proposed approach provides seamless multimedia service to mobile users by achieving error resilience.

T-DMB (Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) adopted MPEG-4 BIFS (Binary Format for Scene) Core2D scene description profile and graphics profile as the standard of video associated data service. By using BIFS, we can support to overlay objects, i.e. text, stationary image, circle, polygon, etc., on the main display of receiving end according to the properties designated in broadcasting side and to make clickable buttons and website links on desired objects. Therefore, a variety of interactive data services can be served by BIFS. In this paper, we implement real-time video associated data service system far T-DMB. Our developing system places emphasis on real-time data service by user operation and on inter-working and stability with our previously developed video encoder. Our system consists of BIFS Real-time System, Automatic Stream Control System and Receiving Monitoring System. Basic functions of our system are designed to reflect T-DMB programs and characteristics of program production environment as a top priority. Our developed system was used in BIFS trial service via KBS T-DMB, it is supposed to be used in T-DMB main service after improvement process such as intensifying system stability.

To solve the increasing popularity of video streaming services over the Internet, recent research activities have addressed the locality of content delivery from a network edge by introducing a storage module into a router. To employ in-network caching and persistent request routing, this paper introduces a hybrid content delivery network (CDN) system combining novel content routers in an underlay together with a traditional CDN server in an overlay. This system first selects the most suitable delivery scheme (that is, multicast or broadcast) for the content in question and then allocates an appropriate number of channels based on a consideration of the content's popularity. The proposed scheme aims to minimize traffic volume and achieve optimal delivery cost, since the most popular content is delivered through broadcast channels and the least popular through multicast channels. The performance of the adaptive scheme is clearly evaluated and compared against both the multicast and broadcast schemes in terms of the optimal in-network caching size and number of unicast channels in a content router to observe the significant impact of our proposed scheme.

By comparing video-overlay method where digital and SCM signal are modulated in different optical source, we experimentally investigated the performance of simultaneous modulation of data and broadcasting signals using a single LD for broadcasting in PON based optical access network. The experimental results show that by increasing the minimum value of injected current for LD modulation above about 1.5 times of threshold current of LD, data and broadcasting signals can modulate without mutual interference. We also proposed and demonstrated the scheme of optical transmitter optimized for simultaneous modulation of data and broadcasting signals where anode and cathode of LD are separately used as signal interface for data and broadcasting signals, respectively.

In this study, we design an applicable model enabling internet protocol television (IPTV) service providers to use a virtual network (VN) for IPTV service delivery. The model addresses the guaranteed service delivery, cost effectiveness, flexible control, and scalable network infrastructure limitations of backbone or IP overlay-based content networks. There are two major challenges involved in this research: i) The design of an efficient, cost effective, and reliable virtual network topology (VNT) for IPTV service delivery and the handling of a VN allocation failure by infrastructure providers (InPs) and ii) the proper approach to reduce the cost of VNT recontruction and reallocation caused by VNT allocation failure. Therefore, in this study, we design a more reliable virtual network topology for solving a single virtual node, virtual link, or video server failure. We develop a novel optimization objective and an efficient VN construction algorithm for building the proposed topology. In addition, we address the VN allocation failure problem by proposing VNT decomposition and reconstruction algorithms. Various simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed VNT, as well as that of the associated construction, decomposition, and reconstruction algorithms in terms of reliability and efficiency. The simulation results are compared with the findings of existing works, and an improvement in performance is observed.

This paper presents a novel approach to control the augmented reality (AR) objects robustly in a marker-less AR system by fingertip tracking and hand pattern recognition. It is known that one of the promising ways to develop a marker-less AR system is using human's body such as hand or face for replacing traditional fiducial markers. This paper introduces a real-time method to manipulate the overlaid virtual objects dynamically in a marker-less AR system using both hands with a single camera. The left bare hand is considered as a virtual marker in the marker-less AR system and the right hand is used as a hand mouse. To build the marker-less system, we utilize a skin-color model for hand shape detection and curvature-based fingertip detection from an input video image. Using the detected fingertips the camera pose are estimated to overlay virtual objects on the hand coordinate system. In order to manipulate the virtual objects rendered on the marker-less AR system dynamically, a vision-based hand control interface, which exploits the fingertip tracking for the movement of the objects and pattern matching for the hand command initiation, is developed. From the experiments, we can prove that the proposed and developed system can control the objects dynamically in a convenient fashion.

A prototype radar display unit was implemented using inexpensive off-the-shelf components, including a nonlinear estimation algorithm for the target tracking in a clutter environment. Two custom designed boards; an analog signal processing board and a DSP board, can be plugged into an expansion slot of a personal computer (PC) to form a maritime radar display unit. Our system provided all the functionality specified in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolution A422(XI). The analog signal processing board was used for A/D conversion as well as rain and sea clutter suppression. The main functions of the DSP board were scan conversion and video overlay operations. A host PC was used to run the tracking algorithm of targets in clutter, using the discrete-time Bayes optimal (nonlinear, and non-Gaussian) estimation method, and the graphic user interface (GUI) software for Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA). The proposed tracking method recursively found the entire probability density function of the target position and velocity by converting into linear convolution operations.
