In this paper, we propose a method of the zoom motion estimation for the depth video coding. The proposed method calculates the zoom ratio using the average of the depth values in the current block and in the reference block. It resizes the reference block by the zoom ratio and interpolates the reference block to size of the current block. It compares the current block with the reference block that is obtained by subtracting the average of pixels from the current block to the reference block in order to find the reference block that is the best closest one to the current block. The results of the simulation for the proposed method show that the motion estimation errors are significantly reduced.

Real time fractal coding for successive QCIF 144*176 luminance images has been implemented on a 50MHz IBM 486 personal computer. To satisfy the frame encoding speed and data compression ratio, following algorithms are adopted. In order to minimize encoding time, extension SAS being not searching of domain blocks is used. for reducing the bits per pixel, conventioal 4*4 range block is extended to 8*8 range block. and range block extension decrease quality of decoded image. For improvement quality of decoded image, the paper apply quad-tree partition mothod. In order to divide **8 range block, self-simiarity is compared 8*8 range block with spatial contractive transformed 8*8 domain block. According to self-simiarity, the block is partitioned and owing to block partition, increased encoding time is minimized. According to self-simiarity of 8*8 range block and spatial contractive transformed 8*8 domain block, number of fractal factor is varied. Simultaneously with minimizing the decrement of decoded image's quality, transmittion rate and encoding time is shorted. The results enable us to process the real-time fractal coding. For the claire test image, the average PSNR was 32.4dB, 0.12 bit rates and 33ms coding time per frame.

고해상도의 고품질 비디오 서비스가 보편화됨에 따라 최근 초고해상도(UHD) 비디오 부호화를 위한 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) 표준이 마무리되었으며, 향후 융합환경에서 HD 및 UHD 비디오를 동시에 제공하기 위한 스케일러블 확장 HEVC 표준화도 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 UHD/HD 비디오를 동시에 제공하기 위한 H.264/SVC의 확장 부호화 기법을 제시한다. 즉, HEVC의 대표적인 부호화 툴인 Large Block 개념을 H.264/SVC에 적용함으로써 계층간 예측 및 신택스 부호화 등의 부호화 효율성을 개선한 부호화 기법을 제시하고 그 부호화 성능을 분석한다. 실험결과 Large Block을 적용한 SVC가 기존의 H.264/SVC에 비하여 평균 4.53% 내외의 비트 감소의 이득이 있음을 확인하였다.

동영상 압축에 관한 국제 표준화 기구인 JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding) 에서는 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)의 확장 표준으로 스크린 콘텐츠 영상의 부호화 기술을 위한 HEVC Screen Content Coding(HEVC SCC)표준을 제정하였다. 현재까지 개발된 HEVC SCC 기술들 중 가장 높은 부호화 성능을 보이는 화면 내 블록 카피(IBC, Intra Block Copy)기술은 현재 프레임 내에서 복원된 블록들 중 현재 블록과 가장 유사한 블록을 예측하는 과정이다. IBC에서는 전송되는 블록 벡터의 데이터양을 줄이기 위해 예측 블록 벡터 값과 그 차이 값을 부호화 한다. 본 논문에서는 HEVC SCC 참조 소프트웨어인 SCM-2.0과 SCM-4.0을 이용하여 IBC의 블록 벡터 예측 과정에 대해 분석하였다. 또한 분석한 내용을 바탕으로 HEVC SCC IBC의 IBC의 예측 성능 향상을 위해 예측 블록 벡터(BVP, Block Vector Predictor) 후보 선정 과정에서 기존의 공간적 BVP 후보 외에 인접한 BV에 대한 탐색 과정을 추가하여 개선된 BVP 후보 선정 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법의 실험 결과는 부호화 속도 저하 없이 최소 0.2%부터 최대 1%의 BD-rate 감소를 보인다.

The Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) has studied future video coding (FVC) technologies with a potential compression capacity that significantly exceeds that of the high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard. The joint exploration test model (JEM), a common platform for the exploration of FVC technologies in the JVET, employs quadtree plus binary tree block partitioning, which enhances the flexibility of coding unit partitioning. Despite significant improvement in coding efficiency for chrominance achieved by separating luminance and chrominance tree structures in I slices, this approach has intrinsic drawbacks that result in the redundancy of block partitioning data. In this paper, an adaptive tree structure correlating luminance and chrominance of single and dual trees is presented. Our proposed method resulted in an average reduction of -0.24% in the Y Bjontegaard Delta rate relative to the intracoding of JEM 6.0 common test conditions.

In the Wyner-Ziv coding, compression performance highly depends on the quality of the side information since better quality of side information brings less channel noise and less parity bit. However, as decoder generates side information without any knowledge of the current Wyner-Ziv frame, it doesn't have optimal criterion to decide which block is more advantageous to generate better side information. Hence, in general, fixed block size motion estimation (ME) is performed in generating side information. By the fixed block size ME, the best coding performance cannot be attained since some blocks are better to be motion estimated in different block sizes. Therefore if there is a way to find appropriate ME block of each block, the quality of the side information might be improved. In this paper, we investigate the effects of variable block sizes of ME in generating side information.

BTC 압축은 간단하고 효율적인 압축 알고리즘으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는, 컬러 이미지 압축을 위한 RMC-BTC 알고리즘(RMC : reduction method chrominace data)을 제안한다. RMC-BTC coding은 chrominace data를 축소시키기 위해서, 각 BTC 블록에서, chrominace data를 평균으로 표현하는 방법과, luminance 데이터 의 bit-map을 chrominace 데이터의 bit-map으로 활용하여 chrominace 데이터를 표현하는 방법을 사용하였다. 시뮬레에션 결과는 기존의 BTC 알고리즘의 PSNR과 압축비율의 비교를 통해서, 제안한 알고리즘의 효율성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a new variable block-size transform coding algorithm using information of segmentation is proposed. In general variable block-size transform coding algorithms, the information which is used to form variable blocks is thrown away, but in the proposed algorithm, the information of segmentation which is composed of texture and contour information is maintained for efficient coding. That is, the number of blocks can be reduced by contour information, a DC component of block can be predicted by texture information, and the region compensation, which reduces mean difference between regions, using texture and contour information can diminish the magnitude of AC components. The result is that the proposed algorithm has improved highly the coding efficiency of DC and AC components.

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).

In this paper, we propose a low bit-rate embedded video coding scheme with 3-D block partition in the wavelet domain. The proposed video coding scheme includes multi-level three dimensional dyadic wavelet decomposition, raster scanning within each subband, partitioning of blocks, and adaptive arithmetic entropy coding. Although the proposed video coding scheme is quite simple, it produces bit-streams with good features, including SNR scalability from the embedded nature. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed video coding scheme is quite competitive to other good wavelet-based video coders in the literature.
