Multi-layered video coding that provides scalability across the visual content has emerged for easily adaptive service over current heterogeneous network. However, the network is still error prone environment so that video service may suffer packet loss or erroneous decoding of the video. Especially distortion caused by the burst error may propagate to several pictures until intra refreshing, which will raise a terrific degradation of picture quality. To overcome the problem at terminal independently, we propose a new error concealment algorithm for the multi-layered video coding. The proposed method uses the similarity of between layers in the multi-layered video coding and POCS (Projections Onto Convex Sets) which is a powerful error concealment tool, but heavily dependent on initial values. To find adequate initial value which can reduce iteration times as well as achieve high performance, we took consideration into both features of layered approach coding and the correlation in neighbor blocks. The simulation results show that the proposed concealment method works well.

MPEG-2 는 Layered Coding방식을 채택하여 하나의 base layer와 4개의 enhancement layer로 이루어져 있으나 동영상 재생을 위해 필요한 최소한의 layer인 base layer 만으로도 데이터 양이 많기 때문에 인터넷 환경에 적용하기가 어렵다. 이에 base layer를 다시 세분화된 layer로 나누기 위해 인코딩 중에는 또는 인코딩 결과로 만들어지는 MPEG-2 Video steam 의 하부 구조인 블록층에 존재하는 8$\times$8블록의 AC 계수들을 layering한다. Layered된 base layer의 데이터는 통신망 및 단말기의 QoS에 따라 서로 다른 전송 채널을 통해 서버에서 클라이언트 디코더로 전송된 후 디코더에 실시간적으로 병합한 후 재생된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법을 이용하여 기존에 encoding MPEG-2 Video steam의 AC계수를 layering할 경우에 QoS에 따라 가변적으로 데이터 양을 서버 쪽에서 조절할 수 있었고, 통신 선로 상에서 이동하는 데이터 양의 원래의 MPEG-2 Video steam 을 이용했을 때보다 인코딩 중에 블록을 변환하면 51% 정도 감소하고 인코딩 되어진 데이터를 이용했을 경우에는25%정도 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

SVC layered video is consists of a Base Layer (BL) and Enhancement Layer (EL). Without the base layer decoding, the higher EL layer can not be decoded. Therefore, successful transfer of the BL is important factor for improving the SVC video data. In this paper, we propose a network coding of layered video to improve success decoding probability with the importance order of the video data over a multi-relay system. We shows that formula analysis and experimental results of the proposed network coding scheme. In addition, we shows performance of video quality according to the number of relays.

To protect SVC(Scalable Video Coding) media, the encryption mechanism need to consider two fundamental issues; First, What is to be encrypted? Second, When encryption is performed with respect to compression? In this paper, we analyze the several encryption approaches with regard to the above issue. And we propose hybrid-based protection mechanism. This mechanism ensures the media scalability, layered access control and reuse protected content. In this experiment the proposed mechanism generates under 3% security overhead against standard scalable video coding.

Recently, the standardization of SVC technology which can provide adaptive video quality in diverse service environments has been completed. This paper proposes a layered encryption technique which takes into account the prioritized layer characteristics of SVC and control constant encryption complexity satisfying the target computational complexity. In particular, it analyzes the importance of NAL unit in the SVC video layer and suggests a method to apply appropriate encryption complexity proper for it. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved through the comparison of time required for encryption and the reconstructed video quality using imperfect decryption key.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 표준에서 채택된 FGS(Fine Granualrity Scalability)를 이용한 계층적 비디오 부호화 방법을 적용하였다. MPEG-4 FGS는 인터넷에서 이용되는 다양한 특성의 단말기들과 대역폭 변통에서 유연성 있는 기술이다. 적용된 MPEG-4 FGS 기술은 DCT 기반 비트 평면 부호화를 이용한다. 실험에서는 일반적인 SNR 계층 비디오 코딩(Multi-layered SNR scalable video coding)과의 비교를 통해 FGS의 효율성을 평가한다. 비교는 두 부호화 기술의 PSNR 값의 분석을 가지고 이루어졌고 MPEG-4 FGS 기술이 이전의 다층 SNR계층 비디오 부호화 방법보다 평균 $1\sim2dB$ 정도의 높은 값으로 나타났다. 이를 동해 MPEG-4 FGS가 효율성면에서 다층 SNR계층 비디오 부호화 방법보다 우수함을 알 수 있지만, 단일 계층부호화(Single-layered scalable video coding)에 비해서는 효율성이 낮게 나타났다.

이질적인 환경 (Heterogoneous Environments)에서 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스가 확산됨에 따라 비디오 데이터로 인한 트래픽이 통신망을 오가는 트래픽의 대부분을 차지하게 되었다. 이에 통신망 자원의 효율화를 위해서 사용자의 통신망 환경을 고려한, 비디오 데이터 스케러블 전송이 필요하다. 이를 위해 MPEG-2에서는 비디오 데이터를 Base layer와 Enhancement layer로 나누는 layered coding 방식을 채택할 수 있게 하여 낮은 대역폭인 경우는 Base layer만 보내고 높은 대역폭인 경우 Base layer와 Enhancement layer를 모두 보내는 방식을 사용할 수 있도록 하였으나, 실질적으로는 Base layer만으로도 데어터 량이 많아 이를 적용하는 인코더는 현재 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Base layer를 MPEG-2비디오 데이터 스케러블 전송에 맞게 초당 디스플레이하는 프레임 수를 동적으로 조정하는 temporal layered coding을 통해 사용자 통신망 환경에 맞게 비디오 데이터를 보내는 방법을 제안한다.

Acceptance of the international standards for video compression, such as H.261, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, along with the developments in video codec hardware, has created an explosion of application. Among these, the long time quest for long-distance digital video transmission causes an increasing interest in transporting compressed video over networks which are nontraditional for this purpose, including asynchronous transfer mode networks, the Internet, and cellular and wireless channels. Transmission of compression video over packet network is improved for error resilience. And layered video coding techniques improves error resilience. We present a efficient method of scalable video coding for low bandwidth.

In this paper, a model for two-layered video traffic is proposed. The performance analysis of the proposed model and the effects of two-layer coding scehemes in ATM networks are also studied. ATM-based networks give the possibility to support image codingat variable bit rate(VBR). Two layer coding is one of the very promising methods among many proposed methods to compensate the cell loss, the major drawback in ATM networks. From the experimental data of the 2-layer coded video traffics, it is observed that traffic patterns of base layer and enhanced layer are highly correlate to each other, when constant image quality is kept. With this observation, coded two layered video traffic can be modeled as 2-dimensional Markov chain. The model well fit the real experimental data. The model was used for the analysis of the performance of statistical multiplexer with priorites in ATM networks.

Protection to the multimedia contents is inevitable to ensure that only authorized users be able to access the protected contents for consumption. Since protection mechanisms need to be designed efficiently by exploiting the type of the contents, we propose a protection scheme for the video bitstream encoded by Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technique. Our scheme exploits the property of SVC in which a video is encoded into spatial, temporal, and quality scalability layers. By applying our proposed protection scheme to the appropriate scalability layers we can effectively control the SVC contents completely or partially. Each layer can be flexibly protected with different encryption keys or even with different encryption algorithms. The algorithms that are used to protect each layer are described by the standardized protection description tool, which is the MPEG-21 Intellectual Property Management and Protection (IPMP) Components. In this paper, we present the design of the proposed layered SVC protection scheme, its implementation and experimental results. The experiment result shows that the proposed layered SVC protection scheme is very effective and can easily be applied.
