An efficient fixed rate adaptive transform coding is described. Adaptivity is provided by assigning more bits to high ac energy blocks and less bits to low ac energy blocks. Practical and relatively simple adaptation scheme is developed. Overall complexity of our scheme is comparable to the Chen and Smith's scheme. The rate will be adjusted in the same manner as in fixed transform coding. Good performance of the proposed scheme is presented in terms of signal to noise ratio compared with the well known Chen&Smith's scheme. Subjective tests are also presented.

Various video rate control techniques have been proposed for the transmission of video under fixed channel capacity. In most techniques, the coding parameters and quantizer scaling factors are determined based on information derived from previously coded data. In this paper, an successfully used for video rate-control. Experimental results show that the proposed prediction-based rate control scheme can efficiently regulate the bit-rate caused by dramatic scene change and have better PSNR performance than the TM5 rate control mechanism.

We proposed an adaptive steganography of an optical image using bit-planes and multichannel characteristics. The experiment's purpose was to compare the most popular methods used in optical steganography and to examine their advantages and disadvantages. In this paper we describe two digital methods: the first uses less significant bits(LSB) to encode hidden data, and in the other all blocks of $n{\times}n$ pixels are coded by using DCT(Digital Cosine Transformation), and two optical methods: double phase encoding and digital hologram watermarking with double binary phase encoding by using IFTA(Iterative Fourier Transform Algorithm) with phase quantization. Therefore, we investigated the complexity on bit plane and data, similarity insert information into bit planes. As a result, the proposed method increased the insertion capacity and improved the optical image quality as compared to fixing threshold and variable length method.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 표준에서 채택된 FGS(Fine Granualrity Scalability)를 이용한 계층적 비디오 부호화 방법을 적용하였다. MPEG-4 FGS는 인터넷에서 이용되는 다양한 특성의 단말기들과 대역폭 변통에서 유연성 있는 기술이다. 적용된 MPEG-4 FGS 기술은 DCT 기반 비트 평면 부호화를 이용한다. 실험에서는 일반적인 SNR 계층 비디오 코딩(Multi-layered SNR scalable video coding)과의 비교를 통해 FGS의 효율성을 평가한다. 비교는 두 부호화 기술의 PSNR 값의 분석을 가지고 이루어졌고 MPEG-4 FGS 기술이 이전의 다층 SNR계층 비디오 부호화 방법보다 평균 $1\sim2dB$ 정도의 높은 값으로 나타났다. 이를 동해 MPEG-4 FGS가 효율성면에서 다층 SNR계층 비디오 부호화 방법보다 우수함을 알 수 있지만, 단일 계층부호화(Single-layered scalable video coding)에 비해서는 효율성이 낮게 나타났다.

Bone age assessment has been widely used to measure the ossification in pediatric radiology. For the assessment, first bone age of each epiphyseal plate is estimated using DCT/LDA, then the bone age of a patient is calculated by using the median of 9 estimations. For some patients, however, due to various reasons such as X-ray image quality or the pose of fingers, it is common to miss couple of plates in automated systems. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the number of detected plates and the accuracy of bone age assessment. In the experimental results, we confirmed the similarity between bone age assessed using more than 7 epiphyseal plates and that assessed using 9 epiphyseal plates.

In this paper, we will provide an overview of the motion picture watermarking techniques. We will see previously proposed algorithms such as compressed domain watermarking, non-compressed domain watermarking and algorithms for realtime applications etc. We will see test results for signature embedding in motion picture. By spread spectrum method, we embed a signature in each frames. The quality of watermarked motion picture is measured by PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) about several strengths of watermark. In watermark detection the sign of the correlation sum is the estimated embedded signature bits. We will see different mean PSNR with visual shape of the detected signature.

In order to solve the problem of uncovered background region due to the region-due to the region-based motion estimation, this paper presents a new method which generates the uncovered region memory using motion estimation and shows the application of the algorithm for very low bit rate video coding. The proposed algorithm can be briefly described as follows it detects the changed region by using the information of FD(frame difference) and segmentation, and then as for only that region the backward motion estimation without transmission of shape information is done. Therefore, from only motion information the uncovered background region memory is generated and updated. The contents stored in the uncovered background region memory are referred whenever the uncovered region comes into existence. The regions with large prediction error are transformed and coded by using DCT. As results of simulation, the proposed algorithm shows the superior improvement in the subjective and objective image quality due to the remarkable reduction of transmission bits for prediction error.

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).
