This paper presents an adaptive H.263+ rate control algorithm for streaming video applications under the networks supporting bandwidth renegotiation, which can communicate with end-users to accommodate their time-varying bandwidth requests during the data transmission. That is, the requests of end-users can be supported adaptively according to the availability of the network resources, and thus the overall network utilization can be improved simultaneously. They are especially suitable for the transmission of non-stationary video traffics. The proposed rate control algorithm communicates with the network to renegotiate the required bandwidth fort the underlying video which are measured based on the motion change information, and choose their control strategies according to the renegotiation results. Unlike most conventional algorithms that control only the spatial quality by adjusting quantization parameters, the proposed algorithm treats both the spatial and temporal qualities at the same time to enhance human visual perceptual quality. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate that the proposed rate control algorithm can achieve superior performance to the conventional ones with low computational complexity under the networks supporting bandwidth renegotiation.

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.

인터넷을 통한 비디오 스트리밍 응용에서 TCP 친화적인 전송률 조절기법은 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시키고 프로토콜간의 형평성을 향상시킨다는 장점을 가진다. 하지만, 네트워크의 안정성 및 프로토콜간의 형평성 향상이 사용자에게 제공되는 스트리밍 서비스 품질의 향상을 의미하진 않는다. 비디오 스트리밍에서 네트워크의 안정성 향상과 동시에 사용자에게 제공되는 서비스 품질의 향상을 위해서는 네트워크 상태를 기반으로, 서비스되는 비디오 스트림의 품질을 적응적으로 변화시키는 기법이 적용되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 현재 네트워크의 상태를 기반으로 서비스되는 비디오 스트림의 품질을 조절하는 새로운 품질 적응 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법은 현재 네트워크 상태에 적합한 TCP 친화적인 전송률을 계산하고, 이를 기반으로 전송되는 비디오 스트림의 프레임율을 조절함으로써 네트워크 상태에 적응적으로 전송률 및 서비스 품질을 조절하게 된다. 실험 결과를 통해서 제안하는 기법이 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시킴과 동시에 네트워크 상태 적응적인 품질 변화를 통해 사용자에게 끊김없이 부드러운 스트리밍 서비스를 제공할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Although the picture quality of today's displays is very good already, a continuous improvement is desirable as the new larger display sizes increase the visibility of artifacts. A contributing factor for picture quality enhancement through smart video processing and algorithm design is the information gathered from video statistics. Interesting parameters gathered from video statistics are e.g. the image- and display load, the usage of the color gamut, the estimated power consumption and the occurrence of static image parts. Examples of applications that can benefit from video statistics are power calculations, color gamut mapping algorithms, dynamic backlight control for LCD panels and LED backlights for LCD panels.

생물학적 유기체 모델에서의 바이러스 특성을 이용한 전염성 정보은닉 시스템은 비디오 인코더 및 디코더에 대해 각각 최적의 워터마크 은닉 및 검출 방법을 적용하고 비디오의 재생 또는 편집 등이 발생할 때마다 워터마크를 전이시킴으로써 각종 공격에 강인하게 함으로써 비디오 콘텐츠의 안전한 유통을 가능하게 하기 위한 방법이다. 본 논문은 전염성 정보은닉 시스템을 위한 전염성 정보의 생성과 빠르고 효율적인 가역 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 비디오 콘텐츠 기반 가역 워터마킹을 위해 제어 코드및 콘텐츠 유효기간을 워터마크와 결합하여 전염시킨 후, 비디오 재생 시에 능동적으로 콘텐츠의 화질 및 워터마크 강도를 제어할 수 있으며, 실시간성을 만족하기 위해 계산복잡도가 낮게 설계되었다. 또한, 가역 워터마크 복원을 위한 시간지연이 발생하지 않도록 매크로블록 단위의 워터마크 및 부가정보 은닉이 수행된다. 실험결과 제안 기법이 실시간성을 만족하며, 공격받지 않은 비디오 비트스트림에 대해 가역 워터마크 검출 및 영상 복원 후 워터마크 손실은 0%였으며, 복원 후의 화질은 동일한 비트율로 압축한 비디오와 거의 동일함을 확인하였다.

This paper applies WiMedia UWB network into a wireless ship area network (WSAN) so as to support high-quality multimedia services on board and reliable instrument control information as well, since the need for mixed high-quality video traffic and shipboard control data traffic is essential for a high-cost valued digital ship. Thus, in this paper, prioritized contention access (PCA) and distributed reservation protocol (DRP) based on WiMedia UWB (ECMA-368) MAC protocols are combined and proposed to such mixed traffic environment, by varying the portions of superframe according to traffic type. It is shown that the proposed WiMedia UWB MAC protocol can provide reliable mixed video and shipboard control data traffic as well.

As the use of real-time multimedia applications increases, a considerable amount of “greedy” UDP traffic would easily dominate network bandwidth and packet loss. As a result, bandwidth available to TCP connections is oppressed and their performance extremely deteriorates. In or-der that both TCP and UDP sessions fairly co-exist in the Internet, it is vital that we consider the fairness among both protocols. In this work, we implement a “TCP-friendly” rate control mechanism suitable to video applications and con-sider its applicability to a real system through observation of the video quality at the receiver and the connection state. It is shown that we can achieve high-quality and stable video transfer fairly sharing the network bandwidth with TCP by applying our rate control at a control interval of 32 times as long as RTT.

As network adaptive streaming technology becomes increasingly common, transport protocol also becomes important in guaranteeing the quality of multimedia streaming. At the same time, because of the appearance of high-quality video such as Ultra High Definition (UHD), preventing buffering as well as preserving high quality while deploying a streaming service becomes important. The Internet Engineering Task Force recently published Multipath TCP (MPTCP). MPTCP improves the maximum transmission rate by simultaneously transmitting data over different paths with multiple TCP subflows. However, MPTCP cannot preserve high quality, because the MPTCP subflows slowly increase the transmission rate, and upon detecting a packet loss, drastically halve the transmission rate. In this paper, we propose a new multipath congestion control scheme for high-quality multimedia streaming. The proposed scheme preserves high quality of video by adaptively adjusting the increasing parameter of subflows according to the network status. The proposed scheme also increases network efficiency by providing load balancing and stability, and by supporting fairness with single-flow congestion control schemes.

Recently, HTTP Adaptive Streaming(HAS), a video streaming service over the HTTP based web platform has become common. The use of HAS service in mobile communication devices such as mobile phones and tablet PCs is rapidly expanding. This paper addresses ways to improve the quality of HAS service by enhancing the terms of viewer satisfaction. HAS systems have several internal operational processes, which can affect viewer satisfaction. Such processes include, the quality determination for the next video chunk, the TCP connections-setup procedure and the congestion control operation of the TCP. This paper proposes a transmission scheme to improve the HAS quality services over mobile web. The proposed scheme takes into consideration the past implicit communication state of the receiver's playback buffer occupancy. The results of these experiments indicate that the proposed scheme can improve the quality of HAS service from the mobile viewer's point of view.
