Because the H.264/AVC standard adopts the variable length coding algorithm, the rate of encoded video bitstream fluctuates a lot as time flows, though its compression efficiency is superior to that of existing standards. When a video is transmitted in real-time over networks with fixed low-bandwidth, it is necessary to control the bit rate which is generated from encoder. Many existing rate control algorithms have been adopting the quadratic rate-distortion model which determines the target bits for each frame. We propose a new rate control algorithm for H.264/AVC video transmission over networks with fixed bandwidth. The proposed algorithm predicts quantization parameter adaptively to reduce video distortion using the quadratic rate-distortion model, which uses the target bit rate and the mean absolute difference for current frame considering pixel difference between macroblocks in the previous and the current frame. On video samples with high motion and scene change cases, experimental results show that (1) the proposed algorithm adapts the encoded bitstream to limited channel capacity, while existing algorithms abruptly excess the limit bit rate; (2) the proposed algorithm improves picture quality with $0.4{\sim}0.9dB$ in average.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of watching a two-dimensional (2D) forest video and a virtual reality (VR) forest video on stress reduction in adults. Experiments were conducted in an artificial climate room, and 40 subjects participated. After inducing stress in the subjects, subjects watched a 2D gray video, 2D forest video, or VR forest video for 5 mins. The autonomic nervous system activity was evaluated continuously in terms of measured heart rate variability during the experiment. After each experiment, the subject's psychological state was evaluated using a questionnaire. The 2D forest video decreased the viewer's stress index, increased HF, and reduced heart rate compared with the 2D gray video. The VR forest video had a greater stress index reduction effect, LF/HF increase effect, and heart rate reduction effect than the 2D gray video. Psychological measurements showed that subjects felt more comfortable, natural, and calm when watching the 2D gray video, 2D forest video or VR forest video. We also found that the 2D forest video and VR forest video increased positive emotions and reduced negative emotions compared to the 2D gray video. Based on these results, it can be concluded that watching the 2D forest and VR forest videos reduces the stress index and heart rate compared with watching the 2D gray video. Thus, it is considered that the 2D forest video increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, and the VR forest video increases the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. The increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system upon watching the VR forest video is judged to be positive sympathetic nerve activity, such as novelty and curiosity, and not negative sympathetic activity, such as stress and tension. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for examining the visual effects of forest healing, with hope that the utilization of VR, the technology of the fourth industrial revolution in the forestry field, will broaden.

This paper describes data placement schemes that provide uniform and balanced to multiple disks load for retrievals of VBR (variable bit rate) video at varying retrieval speeds. To support maximum concurent users at arbitrary-speed playbacks in a disk-arry based system, the hot spot disks should be carefully avoided. In this paper, we extend the proposed scheme, prime round-robin(PRR), for VBR video. In addition, we have compared the performance of PRR and PRR (PRR extension).

본 논문은 인터넷 및 모바일 통신에서 많이 사용되는 MPEG video을 모바일 통신망에서 전송 및 재생하고, 모바일 환경에서 발생되는 Handoff 상에서 부드러운 스트림(stream) 재생(presentation)을 위한 멀티미디어 동기화 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 동기화 기법으로 핸드오프 시MPEG 데이터의 특성을 이용한 핸드오프 제어 방법을 제안하였다. 분석결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 기법보다 미디어 스트림의 끊김없는 재생(stream of continuous play out)을 제공하는 것뿐만 아니라 패킷의 높은 재생률(play?out rate)과 낮은 손실률(loss rate)을 보였다.

SVC(Scalable Video Coding), which is one form among video encoding technologies, makes video streaming with the various frame rate, resolution, and video quality by combining three different scalability dimensions: temporal, spatial, and video quality scalability. As the above SVC-encoded video streaming consists of one base layer and several enhancement layers, and a wireless AP(Access Point) chooses and sends a suitable layer according to the received power from the receiving terminals in the changeable wireless network environment, the receiving terminals supporting SVC are able to receive video streaming with the appropriate resolution and quality according to their received powers. In this paper, after the performance analysis for the received power, packet loss rate, PSNR(Required Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), video quality level and amount of received video data based on the number of SVC layers was performed, an efficient method for selecting the number of SVC layer satisfying the RSNR and minimizing the amount of received video data is proposed.

The mobile and multimedia service on wireless network have been leaded from the improvement of telecommunication techniques. A typical multimedia service, a video transmission usually requires larger bandwidth than voice transmission. Many channel allocation algorithms for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFBMA) to use resources more efficiently, Previous channel allocation algorithms have developed with an assumption that the data traffic is constant bit rate (CBR). However, existing algorithms are not suitable to video traffic because it usually generates a variable bit rate (VBR) traffic. In this paper, we proposed a new channel allocation algorithm called a queue-based channel allocation. it is more suitable to transmit the video traffics. Also, a problem are notified in case of realtime generated video traffic and a corresponding heuristic solution was proposed.

In this letter, we propose a novel algorithm to predict MPEG-coded real-time variable bit rate (VBR) video traffic. From the frame size measurement, the algorithm extracts the statistical property of video traffic and utilizes it for the prediction of the next frame for I-, P-, and B- frames. The simulation results conducted with real-world MPEG-4 VBR video traces show that the proposed algorithm is capable of providing more accurate prediction than those in the research literature.

In this paper, we propose an efficient transcoding of MPEG video. Transcoding is the process of converting a compressed video format to another different compressed video format. We propose an simple and efficient transcoding by requantization in which MPEG coded video at high bit-rate is converted into MPEG bitstream at lower bit-rate. To reduce a image quality degradation, we use HVS(Human Visual System) that is the effect that visibility of noise is less in high activity regions than in low activity regions. By using the effect, the part of image in high activity region is coarsely quantized without seriously degrading the image quality. Experimental results show that the proposed method can provide good performance.

The video coding for very low bit rate has recently received considerable attention, but conventional block based transform coding schemes suffer from the blocking effect for the constraints of bit rates. In this paper, we present a video coding sysem suing multi-resolution motion estimation/compensation with variable size block(VMRME/C) and multi-resolution vector quantization(MRVQ) in wavelet transform domain for very low bit rate coding. It is shown that the presented scheme has better performance in the peak signal-to-nose ratio(RSNR) by 0.2-0.6 dB as well as subjective quality than that of conventional block based transform video coding techniques(especially, H. 263 which is DCT based video coding).

We propose an algorithm for the robust transmission of video in error prone environment based on multiple description (MD) scheme and simple rate-distortion operators. The redundancy rate-distortion (RRD) criteria is used to split a one-layer compressed video stream into two correlated descriptions. The proposed algorithm can find more candidate points on the RRD curve than the conventional RRD based methods. A new distortion measure is also defined in this paper, which considers more realistic error environments. Since the proposed MD video coder is based on the standard H.263 coder, each description can be decoded independently by the standard H.263 decoder. Also, several descriptions can be decoded into a single stream by additional merge stage and the H.263 decoder. Simulation results show that the proposed MD video coder yields better performance than the conventional MD splitting algorithm at all bitrates both in single and two description cases.
