In video streaming applications over the Internet, TCP-friendly rate control schemes are useful for improving network stability and inter-protocol fairness. However it does not always guarantee a smooth quality for video streaming. To simultaneously satisfy both the network and application requirements, video streaming applications should be quality-adaptive. In this paper, we propose a new quality adaptation mechanism to adjust the quality of congestion controlled video stream by controlling the frame rate. Based on the current network condition, it controls the frame rate and sending rate of video stream. Through the simulation, we prove that our adaptation mechanism appropriately adjusts the quality of video stream while improving network stability.

This paper proposes an information hiding algorithm using channel coding technique which can be used to detect transmission errors and to protect copyright for MPEG-2 video The watermark signal is generated by applying copyright information of video data to a convolutional encoder, and the signal is embedded into macro blocks in every frame while encoding to MPEG-2 video stream In the decoder, the embedded signal is detected from macro blocks in every frame, and the detected signal is used to localize transmission errors in the video stream. The detected signal can also be used to claim ownership of the video data by decoding it to the copyright Information. In this stage, errors in the detected watermark signal can be corrected by channel decoder. The 3 video sequences which consist of 300 frames each are applied to the proposed MPEG-2 codec. Experimental results show that the proposed method can detect transmission errors in the video stream while decoding and it can also reconstruct copyright information more correctly than the conventional method.

Video transmission effectiveness in the Ad Hoc network is becoming important recently, if different routing protocols are applied. Some researchers conclude that the reactive protocols are better for file transfer protocol (FTP) and constant bit rate (CBR) or hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) transmission in an Ad Hoc wireless network but the performance report of video transmission is not much. This study adopts Qualnet (Network Simulator) as a simulation tool for environmental designing and performance testing, and employs an experimental design with eight groups. Our experiment shows that: (1) The performance of AODV (reactive) protocol is better than DSDV, ZRP and DSR when the transmission load has only one video stream; (2) Proactive (DSDV) and Hybrid protocols (ZRP) are better for a smaller Ad Hoc network when it transmits a video stream with some applications (VoIP, FTP and CBR). We conclude that packet loss rate is sensitive to the quality of video transmission and it has negative relationship with Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value. In addition, our experiment also shows that PSNR is a simple Metric for the performance evaluation of video transmission.

H.264 SVC(Scalable Video Coding) provides the advantages of low disk storage requirement and high scalability. However, a streaming server or a user terminal has to extract a bit stream from SVC file. This paper proposes a bit stream extraction method which can get the maximum PSNR value while date bit rate does not exceed the available network bandwidth. To do this, this paper obtains the information about extraction points which can get the maximum PSNR value offline and decides the spatial/temporal resolution of a bit stream at run-time. This resolution information along with available network bandwidth is used as the parameters to a bit stream extractor. Through experiment with JSVM reference software, we proved that proposed bit stream extraction method can get a higher PSNR value.

Various video services with networks are increasingly available as smart phones, computers and IPTV are widely used. However, transmission over networks may experience transmission errors due to traffic increases and noise. As a result, video quality may suffer. Therefore, quality monitoring emerges as an important issue. In this paper, we propose a video quality assessment method using bit stream information. The video quality metric is calculated using header information and ES (elementary stream) information. To assess performance of the proposed algorithm, subjective quality assessment tests are conducted (VGA resolution). It is shown high correlation between subjective result and the proposed method.

A scene changing detection using histogram and header information of H.264 video stream is presented in this paper. The method using histogram is normal to be detect the changing scene. But this technique results in a lot of processing time because video data is compressed and decompressed to video stream and calculated the difference of histogram between scenes on the each frame. The method using H.264 header information is available to detect the scene change at real time without the process of calculation. Histogram and header information is more rapid for scene change detection with being the same performance in precision and recall.

대용량 hard disk를 내장하고 있는 DTV용 PVR(Personal video recorder)에서는 단순히 수신되는 방송 stream을 녹화하고 재생하는 기능 뿐만 아니라 다른 여러 가지의 부가적인 기능들을 지원하는 것이 필요하다. 그 중의 하나가 기존의 아날로그 VCR의 사용자들에게 친숙한 fast-forward play, reverse play, pause 등과 같은 trick mode play기능을 지원하는 것이다. 그러나 MPEG video는 화면간의 상관관계를 이용하여 압축하는 방식을 채택하고 있으므로 재생하고자 하는 frame이 intra frame이 아닌 한 독립적으로 재생할 수가 없어서 trick mode play 기능을 구현하기가 용이하지 않다. 특히 reverse trick mode의 경우에는 original stream에서의 마지막 frame이 먼저 display되어야 하는데 이를 위해 하나의 GOP가 모두 decoding되어야 하므로 더욱 그 구현이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 reverse trick mode를 구현하기 위한 여러 알고리즘을 소개하고 이에 대한 system 복잡도, 메모리 사용량 성능 등을 분석하고자 한다.

Recursive Patching is an efficient multicast technique for large-scale video on demand systems and recursively shares existing video streams with asynchronous clients. When Recursive Patching initiates a transition stream, it always makes a transition stream have additional data for the worst future request. In order to share a VOD server's limited network bandwidth efficiently, this paper proposes Practical Patching that removes the unnecessary data included in the transition stream. The proposed Practical Patching dynamically expands ongoing transition streams when a new request actually arrives at the server. As a result, the transition streams never have unnecessary data. Simulation result confirmed that the proposed technique is better than Recursive Patching in terms of service latency and defection rate.

This paper proposes a prototype realization of multi-view HD video transport system with synchronized multiplexing over IP networks. The proposed synchronized multiplexing considers the synchronization during video acquisition and the multiplexing for the interactive view-selection during transport. For the synchronized acquisition from multiple HDV camcorders through IEEE 1394 interface, we estimate the timeline differences among MPEG-2 compressed video streams by using global time of network between the cameras and a server and correct timelines of video streams by changing the time stamp of the MPEG-2 system stream. Also, we multiplex a selected number of acquired HD views at the MPEG-2 TS (transport stream) level for the interactive view-selection during transport. Thus, with the proposed synchronized multiplexing scheme, we can display synchronized HD view.

In this paper, some performance characteristics of multimedia traffic for mobile ad-hoc networks is studied with simulations. Synthetic streaming video is considered as the multimedia traffic for MPEG-coded video in the simulation. The synthetic video stream is generated with a video stream generation algorithm. The algorithm generate VBR traffics for MPEG video streams with special predefined GOP(group of pictures) patterns that is consisted of a sequence of I(intra-coded), P(predicted-coded) and B(bidirectional-coded) frames. The synthetic VBR streams is transmitted through UDP protocol with on-demand mobile ad-hoc network routing protocols like as AODV and DSR. And performances for video streams through mobile ad-hoc networks is evaluated, the throughputs is compared between data and video traffics.
