In this paper, we propose new methods to detect a scene cut and a dissolve region in compressed MPEG video sequences. The scene cut detection method uses edge images obtained using DCT AC coefficients and the dissolve detection method utilizes the macroblock type information of the MPEG stream. The proposed scene cut detection method is insensitive to brightness and can detect scene changes more precisely than the methods using DC coefficients since AC edge images can express original images more exactly than DC edge images do. The proposed dissolve detection method using the number of intra macroblocks(MBs) computationally efficient since it does not require the decoding process. Experimental results show that the proposed methods perform better in detection scene changes than conventional other methods.

본 연구에서는 X-ray 영상에서 비산란 그리드 장치의 영향으로 인한 아티팩트를 제거하기 위하여 이산코사인변환(DCT: discrete cosine transform) 기반의 주파수 분석 기법과 딥러닝 네트워크의 학습 기법을 상호 보완적으로 결합하는 방법론을 제안한다. 피사체의 특성에 따라 다양하게 나타나는 그리드 라인의 억제 기능을 학습하기 위하여 서로 다른 특성을 반영하는 3 종류의 학습데이터를 생성한다. 학습에 사용되는 그리드 라인 영상의 타겟 데이터를 산출하기 위하여 DCT 기반의 밴드스톱 필터링 기법을 사용하였으며 학습데이터의 양적인 부족을 해결하기 위하여 패치 기반의 학습 방법을 적용하였다. 제안된 방법에 대해 기존의 방법과 비교하여 피사체 경계선 영역에서 발생하는 성능저하 현상, 분할의 가장자리에서 발생하는 블로킹 현상, 배경 영상에서의 성능저하 현상 등을 상대적으로 개선할 수 있음을 실험적으로 평가하였다.

About the orthogonal Hadamard matrix announced by Hadamard in France in 1893, Professor Moon Ho Lee newly defined it as Center Weight Hadamard in 1989 and announced it, and discovered the Jacket matrix in 1998. The Jacket matrix is a generalization of the Hadamard matrix. In this paper, we propose a method of obtaining the Symmetric Jacket matrix, analyzing important properties and patterns, and obtaining the Jacket matrix's determinant and Eigenvalue, and proved it using Eigen decomposition. These calculations are useful for signal processing and orthogonal code design. To analyze the matrix system, compare it with DFT, DCT, Hadamard, and Jacket matrix. In the symmetric matrix of Galois Field, the element-wise inverse relationship of the Jacket matrix was mathematically proved and the orthogonal property AB=I relationship was derived.

In this paper, a watermarking method based on the trellis code with multi-layer is proposed. An image is divided $8{\times}8$ block with no overlapping, and compute the discrete cosine transform(DCT) of each block, and the 12 medium-frequency AC terms from each block are extracted. Next it is compared with gaussian random vectors with zero mean and unit variance. As these processing, the embedding vectors with minimum linear correlation can be obtained by Viterbi algorithm at each layer of trellis coding. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, the average bit error rate of watermark message is calculated from different several images.

In this paper, we suggest a new audio watermarking method for audio contents copyrights that can efficiently provide protection from MP3 compression attacks. Watermarks were inserted at the coefficients repeatedly from low frequencies to high frequencies after DCT transform in commonly used Cox's spread spectrum method. Because the methods using arbitrary coefficients are not effective, we use the new weight functions that make small losses for the watermark coefficients during attacks, using psychological acoustics. In the results of various sound clips, the suggested method had overall better outcomes than the Cox's method by preserving watermarks and reducing distortions of the original sounds.

This paper presents an algorithm for compressing image data by separating the image into two parts. I.e. edge image containing high-frequency components and non-edge image containing low-frequency components of image. The edge image is extracted by using 8 level compass gradient masks and the non-edge image is obtained by removing the edge image from the original image. The edge image is coded by Huffman run-length code and the non edge image is transformed first by DCT and the transformed images is coded next by a quantized bit allocation table. For an example image. GIRL. the proposed algorithm shows bit rate of 0.52 bpp with PSNR of 36dB.

멀티미디어 처리 분야의 급속한 발전으로 인해 3차원 TV (3DTV)는 차세대 방송 시스템 시장에서 가장 주목을 받는 제품이 되었다. 3DTV는 사용자가 원하는 시점을 자유롭게 선택할 수 있고, 입체감을 제공하여 사용자가 마치 그 곳에 있는 듯한 효과를 줄 수 있다. 지금까지 입체 영상은 스테레오 영상을 기반으로 하나의 시점에 대한 입체 영상을 제공했지만 최근에는 다시점 영상을 이용하여 다양한 위치에서의 입체 영상을 제공하는 기술이 연구되고 있다. 다시점 영상은 사용자에게 임의 시점의 영상에 대한 시청을 가능케 하여 입체감 있는 화면을 제공할 수 있다. 입체감 있는 영상을 만들기 위해서는 다시점 영상의 시점 간 가상 시점을 생성할 수 있도록 하고 깊이 정보를 포함하고 있는 깊이 영상 (Depth Image)을 획득하여야 한다. 획득된 깊이 영상 데이터와 다시점 비디오 데이터를 동시에 전송하는 다시점 비디오 시스템이 상용화되기 위해서는 방대한 양의 데이터를 효율적으로 압축하는 다시점 비디오 부호화 기술 개발이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 컬러 영상의 효율적인 압축 방법을 제안하던 다시점 비디오 부호화 기술에 국한되지 않고 3차원 영상 화질을 객관적으로 높일 수 있도록 깊이 영상의 효율적 압축 기법에 대한 새로운 방법을 제안한다.

Digital image watermarking scheme using adaptive block division is proposed. To increase the perceptual invisibility, the image is divided into blocks by local properties and the human visual system (HVS), then the significant blocks are selected in the divided blocks. The significant coefficient is determined by Weber's law in these blocks. To increase the robustness, low frequency domains of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are used. The watermark is embedded into the selected significant blocks of the DCT's and DWT's low frequency domains with adaptive watermark strengths. The watermark strength is determined by the variance and the local properties of the significant block. The experimental results prove that the proposed scheme has a good robustness against several image processing operations (e.g. median filtering, cropping, scaling, JPEG, JPEG2000, etc.) without significant degradation of the watermarked image.

WT(Wavelet Transform) is used to avoid blocking effect that is the disadvantage of JPEG using DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). Because the proposed coding scheme is the same as JPEG, the proposed algorithm is compatible with that of JPEG. To achieve the goal, WT'ed image is reconstructed into 8$\times$8 coding block. Each coding block is quantized with the proposed weighting matrix that is derived from human visual characteristic and error analysis in WT'ed domain. By experiments, the proposed algorithm is superior to JPEG, in terms of PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and WMSE(Weighted Mean Square Error).

Image compression based on Wavelet gives much better quality than JPEG based on DCT, but suffers from ringing or blurring effects around edges as the compression is increased. In this paper, we proposed enhanced image compression by pre-processing wavelet coefficients. This pre-processing is performed by making a low threshold and enhanced by zerotree scan method when subband's zerotrees are established. It might increase significants coefficient by means of modifying the threshold and reflect on the orientation of subbands. Some experimental results show our method is more efficient than the conventional methods, JPEG. And then the developed coding scheme improves the quality of images and visually shows more pleasing results for most practical images.
