  • H.264/AVC는 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$ 블록을 위하여 9개의 화면 내 예측모드를 사용한다. 예측 모드는 8개의 방향성을 가진 모드와 하나의 비방향성 DC 모드가 있다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$ 블록에서는 4가지의 예측 모드가 있으며 색차 신호 $8{\times}8$ 에서도 4개의 예측모드를 사용한다. 이러한 예측 모드들 중 최적의 예측 모드를 선택하기 위하여, 부호화기는 선택 가능한 모든 예측 모드의 율-왜곡 비용을 계산한 후, 최적의 율-왜곡 비용을 가진 예측 모드를 사용하여 부호화를 수행한다. 따라서 H.264/AVC의 화면 내 예측 과정은 많은 계산 복잡도를 가진다. 특히 하이 프로파일에서는 휘도 신호 $8{\times}8$ 블록이 화면 내 예측을 위해서 고려되므로 더욱 많은 계산 복잡도를 요구한다. 이에 본 논문은 H.264/AVC 하이 프로파일의 화면 내 예측의 부호화 계산 복잡도를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 현재 매크로 블록의 분산을 계산한 후, 이를 이용하여 율-왜곡 최적화에 후보로 사용되어지는 블록 모드를 결정하고, 각 블록 모드에서 제공하는 예측 모드들을 효율적으로 선택하는 방법을 연구 개발하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존 H.264/AVC 참조 소프트웨어인 JM13.1 부호화 시간 대비 약 83%의 연산시간이 감소하는 결과를 보였다.

  • High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the newest video coding standard for improvement in video data compression. This new standard provides a significant improvement in picture quality, especially for high-resolution videos. A quadtree-based structure is created for the encoding and decoding processes and the rate-distortion (RD) cost is calculated for all possible dimensions of coding units in the quadtree. To get the best combination of the block an optimization process is performed in the encoder, called rate distortion optimization (RDO). In this work we are proposing a novel approach to enhance the overall RDO process of HEVC encoder. The proposed algorithm is performed in two steps. In the first step, like HEVC, it performs general rate distortion optimization. The second step is an extra checking where a SSIM based cost is evaluated. Moreover, a fast SSIM (FSSIM) calculation technique is also proposed in this paper.

  • This paper proposes a fast encoding algorithm of H.264/AVC multi-view video coding. The amount of data to be encoded for a multi-view video is much more than normal video's data, and the amount of information to be predicted is enormous because of the multi-view video coding uses inter-disparity prediction in addition to inter-motion prediction in conventional video coding. We noticed through an experiment that the efficiency of prediction is getting better in order of intra, inter-disparity, inter-motion, and inter-skip, and proposes a early termination algorithm by means of estimate the adaptive threshold within a GOP unit. In the experiments, the proposed algorithm shows improved processing speed about 32% compared to existing method, and increased amount of bits and distortions are relatively disregardable.

  • Recently, high definition media services like HDTV and IPTV are growing. A fast reduced-size image extracting method is required to meet what those services require. Conventional DC image extracting methods, however, can't be applied to H.264/AVC streams since a spatial domain prediction scheme is adopted in H.264/AVC intra mode. To solve this problem, a thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC was proposed. However, the method has mismatch problem which was caused by round-off operation in intra prediction and mismatch between integer and floating point calculation. In this paper, we propose an error compensation method for extracting thumbnail directly in H.264/AVC bitstreams. The compensation method introduces the mismatch problem in thumbnail extraction and presents compensation values. Through the implementation and performance evaluation, proposed method compensated round-off error efficiently in D1 and HD sequences while the additional extraction time is negligible.

  • This paper proposes adaptive reference structure decision method to improve the performance of HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) encoder. When an event occurs in the input sequence, such as scene change, scene rotation, fade in/out, or light on/off, the proposed algorithm changes the reference structure to improve the inter prediction performance. The proposed algorithm divides GOP (Group Of Pictures) into two sub-groups based on the picture that has such event and decides the reference pictures in the divided sub-groups. Also, this paper proposes fast encoding method which changes the picture type of first encoded picture in the GOP that has such event to CRA (Clean Random Access). With the statistical feature that intra prediction is selected by high probability for the first encoded picture in the GOP carrying such event, the proposed fast encoding method does not operate inter prediction. The experimental result shows that the proposed adaptive reference structure decision method improves the BD-rate 0.3% and reduces encoding time 4.9% on average under the CTC (Common Test Condition) for standardization. In addition, the proposed reference structure decision method with the picture type change reduces the average encoding time 12.2% with 0.11% BD-rate loss.

  • H.264|AVC는 인트라 부호화 효율을 높이기 위해 공간 영역에서 주변 화소를 이용하여 다양한 방향에 대한 율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 사용하여 최적의 인트라 예측 모드를 선택한다. 하지만 율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 사용함에 따라 인트라 부호화에 높은 복잡도가 필요하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 인트라 예측 모드 결정의 연산 복잡도를 감소시키고자 사전에 인트라 4x4 예측 모드들의 SATD(Sum of Absolute Transform Difference)를 계산하여 조기에 최우선 모드(Most Probable Mode)를 선택하는 방법을 제안하고, SATD의 값에 따라 제한된 후보 모드에 대해서만 율-왜곡 최적화를 수행하여 연산 복잡도를 감소하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 Vertical, Horizontal 그리고 DC모드는 인트라 $4{\times}4$와 인트라 $16{\times}16$의 공통적인 모드이므로 인트라 $4{\times}4$에서 계산되어진 SATD값을 이용하여 인트라 $16{\times}16$에서의 SAD 계산 복잡도를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 빠른 인트라 예측 모드 결정 기법은 연산 복잡도는 평균 61.4% 감소 시킨 반면 부호화 손실은 평균 3.09%에 불과하였다.

  • The incidence of globally infectious and pathogenic diseases such as H1N1 (swine flu) and Avian Influenza (AI) has recently increased. An infectious disease is a pathogen-caused disease, which can be passed from the infected person to the susceptible host. Pathogens of infectious diseases, which are bacillus, spirochaeta, rickettsia, virus, fungus, and parasite, etc., cause various symptoms such as respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, and acute febrile illness. They can be spread through various means such as food, water, insect, breathing and contact with other persons. Recently, most countries around the world use a mathematical model to predict and prepare for the spread of infectious diseases. In a modern society, however, infectious diseases are spread in a fast and complicated manner because of rapid development of transportation (both ground and underground). Therefore, we do not have enough time to predict the fast spreading and complicated infectious diseases. Therefore, new system, which can prevent the spread of infectious diseases by predicting its pathway, needs to be developed. In this study, to solve this kind of problem, an integrated monitoring system, which can track and predict the pathway of infectious diseases for its realtime monitoring and control, is developed. This system is implemented based on the conventional mathematical model called by 'Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) Model.' The proposed model has characteristics that both inter- and intra-city modes of transportation to express interpersonal contact (i.e., migration flow) are considered. They include the means of transportation such as bus, train, car and airplane. Also, modified real data according to the geographical characteristics of Korea are employed to reflect realistic circumstances of possible disease spreading in Korea. We can predict where and when vaccination needs to be performed by parameters control in this model. The simulation includes several assumptions and scenarios. Using the data of Statistics Korea, five major cities, which are assumed to have the most population migration have been chosen; Seoul, Incheon (Incheon International Airport), Gangneung, Pyeongchang and Wonju. It was assumed that the cities were connected in one network, and infectious disease was spread through denoted transportation methods only. In terms of traffic volume, daily traffic volume was obtained from Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS). In addition, the population of each city was acquired from Statistics Korea. Moreover, data on H1N1 (swine flu) were provided by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and air transport statistics were obtained from Aeronautical Information Portal System. As mentioned above, daily traffic volume, population statistics, H1N1 (swine flu) and air transport statistics data have been adjusted in consideration of the current conditions in Korea and several realistic assumptions and scenarios. Three scenarios (occurrence of H1N1 in Incheon International Airport, not-vaccinated in all cities and vaccinated in Seoul and Pyeongchang respectively) were simulated, and the number of days taken for the number of the infected to reach its peak and proportion of Infectious (I) were compared. According to the simulation, the number of days was the fastest in Seoul with 37 days and the slowest in Pyeongchang with 43 days when vaccination was not considered. In terms of the proportion of I, Seoul was the highest while Pyeongchang was the lowest. When they were vaccinated in Seoul, the number of days taken for the number of the infected to reach at its peak was the fastest in Seoul with 37 days and the slowest in Pyeongchang with 43 days. In terms of the proportion of I, Gangneung was the highest while Pyeongchang was the lowest. When they were vaccinated in Pyeongchang, the number of days was the fastest in Seoul with 37 days and the slowest in Pyeongchang with 43 days. In terms of the proportion of I, Gangneung was the highest while Pyeongchang was the lowest. Based on the results above, it has been confirmed that H1N1, upon the first occurrence, is proportionally spread by the traffic volume in each city. Because the infection pathway is different by the traffic volume in each city, therefore, it is possible to come up with a preventive measurement against infectious disease by tracking and predicting its pathway through the analysis of traffic volume.
