There are two problems in H.26X compression technique. One is compressing time in encoding process and the other is degradation of the decoded video quality due to high compression rate. For transferring moving pictures in real-time, it is required to adopt massively high compression. In this case, there are a lot of losses of an original video data and that results in degradation of quality. Especially degradation called by blocking artifact may be produced. The blocking artifact effect is produced by DCT-based coding techniques because they operate without considering correlation between pixels in block boundaries. So it represents discontinuity between adjacent blocks. This paper describes methods of quality compensation for H.26x decoded data and enhancing encoding speed for real-time operation. Our goal of the quality compensation is not to make the decoded video identical to a original video but to make it perceived better through human eyes. We suggest an algorithm that reduces block artifact and clears decoded video in decoder. To enhance encoding speed, we adopt new four-step search algorithm. As shown in the experimental result, the quality compensation provides better video quality because of reducing blocking artifact. And then new four-step search algorithm with $MMX^{TM}$ implementation improves encoding speed from 2.5 fps to 17 fps.

In block-based lossy video compression, severe quantization causes discontinuities along block boundaries so that annoying blocking artifacts are visible in decoded video imases. These blocking artifacts significantly decrease the subjective image quality. In order to reduce the blocking artifacts in decoded images, many algorithms have been proposed However studies on so called, corner outliers, have been very limited. Corner outliers make image edges look disconnected from those of neighboring blocks at cross block boundary. In order to solve this problem, we propose a corner outlier detection and compensation algorithm as post-processing in spatial domain The experiment results show that the proposed method provides much improved subjective image quality.

고해상도 비디오에 대한 압축 성능 향상을 위해 ITU-T VCEG에서는 H.264/AVC 표준을 근간으로 다양한 압축 성능 개선 기법들을 추가해 왔는데, 그중 ALF 기법은 양자화에 의해 발생한 오류를 제거할 수 있는 필터링 방법을 제공함으로써, 고해상도 영상에서 평균 9%의 매우 높은 성능 개선 능력을 보이는 핵심 기술이다. 하지만 기존의 ALF는 한 프레임 내에서 하나의 Wiener 필터만을 사용하므로, 다수의 서로 다른 통계적 특성을 가진 영역이 존재하는 경우에는 능률적인 오류 복원 성능을 제공하기 어려운 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한 복호 프레임에 존재하는 다양한 영역 별 통계적 특성을 반영하여 보다 유연한 율-왜곡 관점에서의 ALF 선택이 가능할 수 있도록, 적응적 율-왜곡 최적 다중 루프 필터 기법을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘을 통해 다양한 영상에 대하여 기존 알고리즘의 성능을 안정적으로 개선할 수 있었으며, 영상에 뚜렷한 특성 차이를 지닌 복수의 오브젝트가 존재할 경우에는 더욱 높은 비트율 감소 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

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.

In this paper, a packet loss concealment (PLC) algorithm for CELP-type speech coders is proposed to improve the quality of decoded speech under a burst packet loss condition. The proposed algorithm is based on the recovery of voiced excitation using an estimate of the voicing probability and the generation of random excitation by permutating the previously decoded excitation. The voicing probability is estimated from the correlation using the previous correctly decoded excitation and pitch. The proposed algorithm is implemented as a PLC algorithm for G.729 and its performance is compared with PLC employed in G.729 by means of perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) and an A-B preference test under the random and burst packet losses with rates of 3% and 5%. It is shown that the proposed algorithm provides better speech quality than the PLC of G.729, especially under burst pack losses.

Multi-view video plus depth (MVD) has been widely used owing to its effectiveness in three-dimensional data representation. Using MVD, color videos with only a limited number of real viewpoints are compressed and transmitted along with captured or estimated depth videos. Because the synthesized views are generated from decoded real views, their original reference views do not exist at either the transmitter or receiver. Therefore, it is challenging to define an efficient metric to evaluate the quality of synthesized images. We propose a novel metric-the reduced-reference quality metric. First, the effects of depth distortion on the quality of synthesized images are analyzed. We then employ the high correlation between the local depth distortions and local color characteristics of the decoded depth and color images, respectively, to achieve an efficient depth quality metric for each real view. Finally, the objective quality metric of the synthesized views is obtained by combining all the depth quality metrics obtained from the decoded real views. The experimental results show that the proposed quality metric correlates very well with full reference image and video quality metrics.

An enhanced irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) protocol is proposed by using polarization characteristic of satellite link and MIMO detection in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, which is dubbed polarized MIMO IRSA (PM-IRSA). In the proposed scheme, one or two packets in one slot can be decoded by employing polarized MIMO detection, and more than two collided packets in multiple slots which can construct the virtual MIMO model can be decoded by the MIMO detection algorithm. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed with the density evolution (DE) approach and the degree distribution is optimized to maximize the system throughput by using a differential evolution. Numerical results certify our analysis and show that the normalized throughput of the proposed PM-IRSA can achieve 1.89 bits/symbol.

본 논문에서는 송신국과 릴레이에서의 오류확률을 고려한 복호 후 전달 릴레이(DF: Decoded and Forward) 시스템에 대하여 정확한 비트 오류율 분석을 수행하고자 한다. 성능 분석에서는 복호 후 전달 릴레이 시스템의 노드들 간의 채널을 상호 독립적인 레일리 페이딩 채널로 가정하고 변조 방식으로는 BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying)를 사용한다. 우선, 정확한 평균 오류율 분석을 위하여 송신국-수신국 링크와 릴레이-수신국 링크 결합시 릴레이노드의 복호결과 오류 유무에 따라 수신 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)을 각각 유도하고 복호결과가 오류일 때 수신 SNR이 양수인 경우와 음수인 경우를 고려하여 그에 대한 PDF(Probability Density Function)를 계산한다. 그리고 각각의 경우에 대한 평균 오류율을 유도하였다. 또한 모의실험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 제안된 성능 분석 기법의 정확성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new excitation enhancement technique to improve the speech quality of low bit rate speech coders. The proposed technique is based on a harmonic model and it is employed only in the decoding process of speech coders without any additional bits. We develop the procedure of harmonic model parameters estimation and harmonic generation. and apply the technique to a current state of the art low bit rate speech coder, ITU-T G.729 Annex D. Also its performance is measured by using the ITU-T P.862 PESQ score and compared to those of the phase dispersion filter and the long-term postfilter applied to the decoded excitation. It is shown that the proposed excitation enhancement technique can improve the quality of decoded speech and provide better quality for male speech than other techniques.
