There are some problems in directly applying the conventional MPEG bit-stream based watermarking schemes to the bit-stream of a new compression standard, H.264/AVC. In this paper we analyze the effects of the conventional DCT-based watermarking scheme to H.264/AVC, especially in terms of image distortions and bit-rate changes. It turns out that the intra-frame prediction md CAVLC of H.264/AVC with the watermarking worsen the image distortions and bit-rate changes. The experiment results show on average 28.17dB decrease in PSNR and 56.71% increase in bit-rate over all QPs.

This paper proposes a 3-stage (preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification) fault detection and classification algorithm for induction motors. In the first stage, a low-pass filter is used to remove noise components in the fault signal. In the second stage, a discrete cosine transform (DCT) and a statistical method are used to extract features of the fault signal. Finally, a back propagation neural network (BPNN) method is applied to classify the fault signal. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we used one second long normal/abnormal vibration signals of an induction motor sampled at 8kHz. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm achieves about 100% accuracy in fault classification, and it provides 50% improved accuracy when compared to the existing fault detection algorithm using a cross-covariance method. In a real-world data acquisition environment, unnecessary noise components are usually included to the real signal. Thus, we conducted an additional simulation to evaluate how well the proposed algorithm classifies the fault signals in a circumstance where a white Gaussian noise is inserted into the fault signals. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm achieves over 98% accuracy in fault classification. Moreover, we developed a testbed system including a TI's DSP (digital signal processor) to implement and verify the functionality of the proposed algorithm.

A multiprocessor system for high-speed processing of hybrid image coding algorithms such as H.261, MPEG, or Digital HDTV is presented in this study. Using a combination of highly parallel 32-bit microprocessor, DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform), and motion detection processor, a new processing module is designed for the implementation of high performance coding system. The sysyem is implemented to allow parallel processing since a single module alone cannot perform hybrid coding algorithms at high speed, and crossbar switch is used to realize various parallel processing architectures by altering interconnections between processing modules within the system.

본 논문에서는 PSNR 을 높이도록 최적화된 HEVC 의 율-왜곡 최적화(RDO)를 MS-SSIM 를 높이도록 하여 RDO 를 수행 하도록 한다. 구현 방법으로는 MS-SSIM 도출 방법과 비슷하도록 원본과 4 단계의 저역 통과 필터(LPF)를 통과한 결과에 대한 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 를 수행하고 그 AC 계수의 비율로 lagrange multiplier(${\lambda}$)를 수정하는 방식이다. AC 계수 비율과 MS-SSIM 에서 도출 된 가중치, LPF 특성 등에 따라 새롭게 각 스케일의 가중치를 결정하여 최종적으로 ${\lambda}$ 가중치를 결정하여 그 결과를 바탕으로 RDO 를 수행한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안의 방법과 HEVC reference software 의 BD-rate 계산 결과 7%의 PNSR, -13.2%의 MS-SSIM 를 얻을 수 있었고 이에 따라 주관적 화질을 개선했다고 할 수 있다.

This paper presents an adaptive interpolation filtering scheme for the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. In regards to interpolation for motion estimation and compensation, the conventional HEVC employs 8-tap and 4-tap filters for luma and chroma samples, respectively. Coefficients in such filters are determined by discrete cosine transform (DCT). In the proposed scheme, boundary strength values are stored after the execution of the deblocking filter. For each block, the sum of boundary strength values is calculated to indicate whether its region is complex or simple. Consequently, based on the region classification, 12-tap and 8-tap interpolation filters are used for complex and simple regions, respectively. This process is applied to luma sample interpolation only. Simulation results show 1.8% average BD-rate reduction compared to the conventional method.

광대역 무선 통신 시스템에서는 주파수 선택적 다중경로 페이딩 채널상에서 발생하는 인접 심볼간의 간섭에 의한 성능 열화를 극복하기 위해서 채널 등화 기술의 도입이 필연적이다. 그러나, 데이터 전송률이 증가함에 따라 채널 등화에 필요한 훈련열의 길이가 늘어나고, 이로 인한 오버헤드를 감소하기 위해서는 보다 수렴률이 높은 적응 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 영역의 적응 여파 기법 중의 하나인 자기 직교환 방식의 결정궤환 등화기를 고려한다. 이 채널 등화기에서는 적응 알고리즘으로 DCT-LMS (discrete cosine transform least mean square) 알고리즘을 채택함으로써 수렴률과 MSE (mean square error) 성능을 향상시켜 결과적으로 광대역 무선통신에서 요구되는 훈련열에 따른 오버헤드를 감소시킬 수 있게 된다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수 선택적 다중경로 페이딩 채널에서의 제안된 채널 등화 기법에 대한 성능을 분석한다.

The discrete cosine transform (DCT)-based progressive coding standard proposed by the International Standardization Orgnnization (ISO) Joint Photographic Experts Groups (JPEG) is investigated for medical image compression and the performance of the JPEG is compared to that of the full-frame bit-allocation (FFBA) technique. From the comparison, the JPEG standard appeals superior to the FFBA technique in the following aspects: 1) JPEG achieves higher compression than the FFBA technique with less mean square error. 2) Less Gibb's artifact is observed in the compressed images by the JPEG. 3) Computational time for the JPEG is about one-fourth or the FFBA technique. Other attractive points of the JPEG include: Implementation of the JPEG with VLSIs is commercially available in relative low price and the JPEG compression format can easily be interchangeable with other applications.

Digital watermarking is the technique, which embeds an invisible signal including signal including owner identification and copy control information into multimedia data such as audio, video, and images for copyright protection. A new MPEG watermark embedding algorithm using complex block effect based on the Human Visual System(HVS) is introduced in this paper. In this algorithm, $8{\times}8$ dark blocks are selected, and the watermark is embedded in the DC component of the discrete cosine transform(DCT) by using quantization and modulus calculation. This algorithm uses a blind watermark retrieval technique, which detects the embedded watermark without using the original image. The experimental results show that the proposed watermark technique is robust against MPEG coding, bitrate changes, and various GOP(Group of Picture) changes.

Padding is a technique that enables applying conventional discrete cosine transform to encode boundary blocks of arbitrarily shaped objects by assigning imaginary values to the pixels that are not included in the object. Padding prevents the increase of high frequency DCT coefficients. However, in some boundary blocks, too many padded pixels are coded due to a small portion of object pixels. To reduce the number of padded pixels and to improve coding efficiency, we propose a block merging method for texture coding. The proposed mothed searches the shape information of boundary blocks and excludes the 4$\times$4 pixels of 8$\times$8 blocks if all the 4$\times$4 pixels are in the background region, and merges the remained 4$\times$4 pixels into new 8$\times$8 blocks. Experimental results show that our proposed method yields a rate-distortion gain about 0.5~1.6㏈ compared to conventional padding method, LPE
