Recently, the transition from conventional analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting has been proceeding as a result of the advance in digital multimedia broadcasting technique. In radio broadcasting, Eureka-147 DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) was decided as the standard system of digital radio broadcasting in Korea. In addition to CD quality audio, a variety of data services and excellent performance in mobile reception can be served by DAB, and DAB was evolved into DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) in Korea for the purpose of emphasizing moving picture multimedia service by DAB. In case of digital broadcasting, it is absolutely essential to measure the BER(Bit Error Rate) in the received signal in order to evaluate the coverage obtained by a transmitter and the quality of the received signal. In this paper, we propose efficient subchannel data structure and BER measurement algorithm. and then verify it by laboratory experiments. With a proposed method, the synchronization for BER measurement is easily obtained and especially the exact results can be obtained by classifying the lost bits which are included in the reception-failed CIFs(Common Interleaved Frame) into errors. This makes the proposed BER measurement system especially appropriate to DMB in which the frequent changes in channel status caused by mobile reception environment exist.

일반 콘텐츠 저작에 비해 데이터방송용 콘텐츠 저작은 방송만의 특성에 맞도록 기획, 구성되어야 하고, 제약 요소들을 고려해야 함 등으로 많은 비용을 필요로 한다. 저작의 효율성을 위해 일차적으로 고려할 수 있는 기존의 저작도구는 데이터방송을 위한 체계적이고 효율적인 제작 환경에는 적합치 않기에, 본격적인 데이터방송의 전개를 위해서는 데이터방송의 저작 환경에 적합한 전문적인 저작도구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 국내 방송 환경에 적합하도록, 표준화규격(DVB-MHP(Multimedia Home Platform)와 ATSC-DASE(Digital TV Application Softwa.e Envoronment))에 부합하는, 데이터방송용 콘텐츠 저작도구를 개발하는 것이다.

The number of broadcasting channels and contents are increasing with the arrival of digital broadcast and various broadcasting medium. However, there is a limit on searching of the program by using conventional program guide. Therefore, personalized broadcasting service to provide the environment, that user is able to consume his/her customized broadcasting contents at anytime, is standardized by TV-Anytime Forum. Especially. the structure of data broadcasting contents have different from that of AV contents. Therefore, it is necessary to new structure of the metadata for personalized data broadcasting service and new mechanism for data flow of broadcasting system. In this paper, we introduce a method for personalized data broadcasting service using TV-Anytime metadata.

Since DMB on-air was started, not high-qualified audio, video services but various service models have been required. This paper is about systems for one of these services, video associated data service. A terrestrial DMB system to make contents of video associated data services and transmit them on DMB channel is proposed in this paper. This system satisfies standard of the video associated data services for terrestrial DMB; MPEG-4 BIFS (BInary Format for Scene) Core2D scene description profile and graphics profile. This system is designed to support two major features of broadcasting, real-time authoring non automatic transmission and non real-time authoring automatic transmission, and focuses on the abilities to make high-qualified contents efficiently and transmit them to video encoder reliably. This system proved its performance through conformance tests with various receivers, so can be used in future on-air.

To analyze reception environments of ATSC Digital TV, CIR (Channel Impulse Response) analysis systems are widely applied. The receiving performances of conventional CIR analysis systems are not as good as those of commercial state-of-the-art receivers. There are difficulties in measuring and analyzing reception problems caused by multi-path interferences. To solve these problems, commercial DTV chip sets embedded CIR analysis system is proposed. Generally, commercial chip sets provide baseband (In-phase) channel data and field or segment sync data. For more precise analysis of measured I channel data, it is necessary to extract Q (quadrature) channel data components as well. This paper presents the technical requirements of CIR analysis system for DTV. In order to satisfy such requirements and measure more accurate magnitude and phase of CIR, a method to derive the quadrature data from the measured in-phase channel data is proposed. The proposed channel analysis system is implemented with a commercial DTV chip set and expedites the data analysis for use on DTV field test vehicles. Computer simulation and laboratory test results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed channel analysis system.

Embedding information into video data is a topic that recently gained increasing attention. This paper proposes a new approach for digital watermarking and secure copyright protection of video, the principal aim being to discourage illicit copying and distribution of copyrighted material. The method presented here is based on the three dimensional discrete cosine transform of video scene, in contrast with previous works on video watermarking where each video frame was marked separately, or where only intra-frame or motion compensation parameters were marked in MPEG compressed videos. The watermark sequence used is encrypted, pseudo-noise signal to the video. The performance of the presented technique is evaluated experimentally

We propose a new data carousel scheduling algorithm for on-demand data broadcasting in DMB. The server divides data items into two sets named hot and cold, according to request statistics from clients. When constructing a data carousel, hot items are placed periodically with their upper limit of broadcasting frequency. If there are empty slots after placing hot items, cold items with high request ratio are placed until the carousel is full. A cold item is broadcast only once in the caroulsel. For the response on clients' requests, our proposed scheme is shown to have high success ratio with short waiting time.

This paper is to propose a scalable video coding scheme for adaptive digital hologram video service for various reconstruction environments. It uses both the light source information and digital hologram at both the sending side and the receiving side. It is a resolution-scalable coding method that scales the resolution, that is, the size of the reconstructed image. The method compresses the residual data for both the digital hologram and the light source information. For the digital hologram, a lossy compression method is used, while for the light source information, a lossless compression method is used. The experimental results showed that the proposed method is superior to the existing method in the image quality at the same compression ratio. Especially it showed better performance than the existing method as the compression ratio becomes higher.

This paper proposes an improved design of an interleaved motion vector coding scheme with flexibility in predictive motion vector component by exploiting motion characteristics. It can use component-wise adaptive motion vector predictor based on the utility of spatial and temporal motion field without any signaling bit for indicating decoder of the selected predictive motion vector component. Experiment with test video data shows about 1.99% (max 8.71%) bit rate reduction compared to the conventional H.264/AVC method.
