After the Versatile Video Coding (VVC)/H.266 standard was completed, the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) began to investigate new technologies that could significantly increase coding gain for the next generation video coding standard. One direction is to investigate signal processing based tools, while the other is to investigate Neural Network based technology. Neural Network based Video Coding (NNVC) has not been studied previously, and this is the first trial of such an approach in the standard group. After two years of research, JVET produced the first common software called Neural Compression Software (NCS) with two NN-based in-loop filtering tools at the 27th meeting and began to maintain NN-based technologies for the common experiment. The coding performances of the two filters in NCS-1.0 are shown to be 8.71% and 9.44% on average in a random access scenario, respectively. All the material related to NCS can be found in the repository of the JVET. In this paper, we provide a brief overview and review of the NNVC activity studied in JVET in order to provide trend and insight for the new direction of video coding standard.

포인트 클라우드는 다수의 3D 포인터를 사용한 3D 데이터의 표현 방식 중 하나이며, 멀티미디어 획득 및 처리 기술의 발전에 따라 다양한 분야에서 주목하고 있는 기술이다. 특히 포인트 클라우드는 3D 데이터를 정밀하게 수집하고 표현할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 하지만 포인트 클라우드는 방대한 양의 데이터를 가지고 있어 효율적인 압축이 필수적이다. 이에 따라 국제 표준화 단체인 Moving Picture Experts Group에서는 포인트 클라우드 데이터의 효율적인 압축을 위하여 Video based Point Cloud Compression(V-PCC)와 Geometry based Point Cloud Coding에 대한 표준을 제정하고 있다. 이 중 V-PCC는 기존 High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) 표준을 활용하여 포인트 클라우드를 압축하여 활용성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 V-PCC에 사용하는 HEVC 코덱을 2020년 7월 표준화 완료될 예정인 Versatile Video Coding으로 대체하여 V-PCC의 압축 성능을 더 개선할 수 있음을 보인다.

As high-definition video is broadly used in various system such as broadcast system and digital camcorder the proper method in order to improve the quality of high-definition video is needed. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to improve color and contrast of high-definition video. In order to apply the image enhancement method to high-definition video, scale-down video of high-definition video is used and the parameter for image enhancement method is computed from small size video. To enhance the color of high-definition video, we apply color constancy method. First, we separate the video into several scenes by cut detection method. Then, we apply color constancy to each scene with same parameter. To improve the contrast of high-definition video, we use union of original image and histogram equalized image, and weight is calculated based on sorting of histogram bins. Finally, the performance of proposed method is demonstrated in experiment section.

This paper describes two traffic shaping methods for VBR(variable bit rate) video bit streams encoded in the MPEG-2 syntax. Difficulties in control of VBR video traffic are lessened by traffic shaping. Burstness of single layer MPEG-2 video can be reduced by performing intra-refresh in more than one consecutive frames. In two layer encoding of spatial scalability, burstness can be reduced by setting the temporal locations of GOP starting frame of a layer, differently from the other. Queueing analysis shows that these two methods outperform conventional encoding schemes in terms of temporal and semantic QoS requirements.

This paper is about MPEG-4 error resilience tools of video streaming on packet service(ex, Internet). It is need to packetization for MPEG-4 video transport by packet unit on MPEG-4 system, this paper suggest packetization method of minimizing packet error on packet service[1]. FEC(Forward Error Correction) and retransmission is usually used for recovery of packet loss, and this paper suggest applying these method to DMIF(Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework) for minimizing packet loss[2].

This paper discusses the user interface for content selection with a video-on-demand system. We suggest two modes for the selection process: active and passive. This paper analyses various video intensive user interfaces using logs of user operation to understand how users behave in each mode.

A virtual reality system using video image is designed and implemented. A participant having 2{{{{ { 1} over { 2} }}}}DOF can interact with the computer-generated virtual object using her/his full body posture and gesture in the 3D virtual environment. The system extracts the necessary participant-related information by video-based sensing, and simulates the realistic interaction such as collision detection in the virtual environment. The resulting scene obtained by compositing video image of the participant and virtual environment is updated in near real time.

For the purpose of a flexible coded video transmission over a heterogeneous network, we propose a new packetization method for coded video data. The proposed method achieves small degradation of coded picture quality in case of packet discard at the network node and does not require heavy processing load for bitrate control operation. Computer simulation results show that the bitrate reduction from 384 kb/s to 192 kb/s does not cause severe degradation in picture quality.

Traffic specification plays a crucial role in the resource reservation for video services over the packet-switching networks. The current development of QoS-guaranteed service still leaves a wide space for the selection of traffic specification. We propose a new method to estimate the traffic specification of variable-bit-rate (VBR) video for deterministic service. The method is based on the concept of empirical envelope and the delay bound. The solution shows to be simple yet it provides excellent network utilization.

A new digital media ear started a couple of months ago when 10 major cities in USA first boradcasted the all digital HDTV on the air. Digital video compression has been studied for decades but only recently, it becomes practical and is used in our daily life. We give an overview of the progress of video compression in recent years, particularly, the ones related to international standards. Through examples, we like to introduce this fantastic subject to the readers who were not familiar with it before.
