Recently, the capability of efficient access to the desired video content is of growing importance because more digital video data are available at an increasing rate. A video summary abstracting the gist from the entirety enables the efficient browsing as well as the fast skimming of the video contents. In this paper, we discuss a novel dynamic summarization method based on the detection of highlights which represent semantically significant content and the description scheme (DS) proposed to MPEG-7 aiming to provide summary description. The summary DS proposed to MPEG-7 allows for efficient navigation and browsing to the contents of interest through the functionalities of multi-level highlights, hierarchical browsing and user-customized summarization. In this paper, we also show the validation and the usefulness of the methodology for dynamic summarization and the summary DS in real applications with soccer video sequences.

현재 디지털방송 서비스가 확대되고 있는 시점에서 방송콘텐츠 보호에 대한 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있다. 이에 MPEG-2 IPMP는 디지털방송 서비스를 제공받아 소비하는 방송 단말로부터 방송콘텐츠를 불법적으로 사용할 수 없도록 보호할 수 있게 정의하고 있는 대표적인 국제 표준 규격이다. IPMP 규격을 기반으로 한 방송 단말을 구현함에 있어 보호된 방송콘텐츠를 IPMP 툴로 처리하여 소비하게 되는데 만약 방송 단말에 IPMP 툴이 없다면 방송되고 있는 MPEG-2 전송스트림이나 원격지에서 필요한 IPMP 툴을 다운로드 받아 방송 단말에 업데이트를 시켜야 한다. 이때 방송 단말에서 위와 같은 기능이 구현되기 위해서는 구체적인 소프트웨어 설계 방식을 통해 다양한 플랫폼에 대해 구현된 기능에 대한 재사용성이나 호환성을 확보하는 것이 효율적이다. 하지만 점차적으로 복잡해지고 다양해지는 멀티미디어 기기들의 기능들을 위해 탑재되는 소프트웨어 역시 복잡해지고 있어 그 재사용성이나 호환성이 떨어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 소프트웨어의 재사용성이나 호환성을 최대한 보장할 수 있도록 현재 MPEG(ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11)에서 표준화가 진행 중인 MPEG Multimedia Middleware(M3W) 규격을 기반으로 한 소프트웨어 설계 방식을 살펴보고, 디지털방송 단말에서 IPMP 툴 업데이트 기능이 효율적으로 설계되고 구현될 수 있는 소프트웨어 구조를 제안하였다.

우수한 이동수신 성능을 지닌 지상파 DMB(T-DMB: Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)의 킬러앱(Killer App)이라 불리는 교통 및 여행정보(TTI: Traffic and Travel Information) 서비스는 주 5일 근무제 실시와 지속적인 자동차수 증가로 인해 그 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 지상파 DMB 기반의 TTI 서비스 전송을 위한 프로토콜로 국제 표준인 TPEG(Transport Protocol Expert Group)이 유력시 되고 있으나, 현재 국제 표준화가 완료된 서비스 규격으로는 속도 ${\cdot}$ 유고정보 및 대중교통수단 관련 정보 전송이 가능한 RTM(Raod Traffic Message)과 PTI(Public Transport Information) 뿐이다. 국내의 경우, 속도 정보 제공을 위한 새로운 서비스 규격으로 CTT(Congestion and Travel Time Information)에 대한 표준화 작업이 진행 중에 있다. 최근 이동통신 인프라 대신 지상파 DMB를 기반으로 한 새로운 위치기반서비스의 규격 제정의 필요성이 대두되었으며, 이에 따라 이를 위한 국내 표준화 활동이 본격적으로 추진될 예정이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 TPEG 규격과 완벽히 호환되는 위치기반서비스 전송을 위한 새로운 POI(Point Of Interest) 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이의 검증을 위해 POI 데이터 서비스 저작 및 전송서버 및 POI 수신 플랫폼을 설계 ${\cdot}$ 구현하여 송수신 플랫폼을 구성하였으며, 구축된 플랫폼을 이용한 방송실험을 통해 제안된 POI 서비스 응용 프로토콜의 안정성 및 전송 효율성을 확인하였다.

Since eco friendly and power saving products recently got into the limelight for the protection of environment, LED light technology has caught much of attention as the next generation broadcasting lighting. The newly introduced light source has such advantages as higher efficiency, longer life and its slim and compact forms leading to conveniency in installations. When combined with digital light control it gives more dynamic and various features to lighting. In this paper, used CIE standard for measuring light sources by their purposes and forms to make a comparative analysis of spectral distribution and color rendition of LED light source to those of existing lighting systems. By means of the cast shadowing and color reproduction tests I also tried to figure out the effects of LED lighting design on TV visuals where higher quality is crucial with the audience's increasing demands for quality image.

Recently, International Telecommunication Union approved several methods for objective video quality measurements to be included in international standards. These methods are mainly developed to measure quality of digital video on professional CRT monitors. In this paper, we performed subjective tests in order to examine the applicability of the standard quality assessment methods for different display monitors such as common CRT, PDP, and LCD TV monitors as well as professional CRT monitors. Subjective testing on different display monitors shows that there exist relatively high correlations between the various display monitors, which indicates the standard quality assessment methods can be used on the display monitors under the given conditions of subjective duality assessment.

We derive a modified version of the cubic convolution scaler to enlarge or reduce the size of digital image with arbitrary ratio. To enhance the edge information of the scaled image and to obtain a high-quality scaled image, the proposed scaler is applied along the direction of an edge. Since interpolation along the direction of an edge has to process nonuniformly sampled data, the kernel of the cubic convolution scaler is modified to interpolate the data. The proposed scaling scheme can be used to resize pictures in various formats in a transcoding system that transforms a bit stream compressed at one bit rate into one compressed at another bit rate. In many applications, such as transcoders, the resolution conversion is very important for changing the image size while maintaining high quality of the scaled image. We show experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed interpolation method. The proposed scheme provides clearer edges, without artifacts, in the resized image than do conventional schemes. The algorithm exhibits significant improvement in the minimization of information loss when compared with the conventional interpolation algorithms.

This paper aims to realize a Signal to Noise Ratio Estimator which constitutes a critical index of the broadcasting system in OFDM system with a synchronized type based on ISDB-T system. Of the elements which are comprising OFDM segments of ISDB-T system using the MSE algorithm suitable for ASIC design owing to its low complexity among a diverse SNR estimation methods, SNR estimation method using the broadcasting information data and the SNR estimation method using scattered pilot signal were realized by RTL. These two methods were compared in terms of their performance through simulation test not only in the AWGN channel which is an ideal channel, but also in SFN channel and frequency selective fading channel, which are distorted channels. Complexity of two methods were also compared through RTL realization. As a result of this comparison analysis, it was concluded that the SNR estimation method using scattered pilot signal shows more excellent performance and easiness in realization.

Since a display device such as TV or digital signage is getting larger, the types of media is getting changed into wider view one such as UHD, panoramic and jigsaw-like media. Especially, panoramic and jigsaw-like media is realized by stitching video clips, which are captured by different camera or devices. However, a stitching process takes long time, and has difficulties in applying for a real-time process. Thus, this paper suggests to find out 2D Adjacency Matrix, which tells spatial relationships among those video clips in order to decrease a stitching processing time. Using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), we convert the each frame of video source from the spatial domain (2D) into frequency domain. Based on the aforementioned features, 2D Adjacency Matrix of images could be found that we can efficiently make the spatial map of the images by using DCT. This paper proposes a new method of generating 2D adjacency matrix by using DCT for producing a panoramic and jigsaw-like media through various individual video clips.
