The effects of internal manifold designs the reactant feed-stream in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs) is studied to figure out mass flow-distribution patterns over an entire fuel cell stack domain. Reactants flows are modeled either laminar or turbulent depending on regions and the open channels in the bipolar plates are simulated by porous media where permeability should be pre-determined for computational analysis. In this work, numerical models for reactant feed-stream in the PEFC manifolds are classified into two major flow patterns: Z-shape and U-shape. Several types of manifold geometries are analyzed to find the optimal manifold configurations. The effect of heat generation in PEFC on the flow distribution is also investigated applying a simplified heat transfer model in the stack level (i.e. multi-cell electrochemical power-generation unit). This modeling technique is well suited for many large scale problems and this scheme can be used not only to account for the manifold flow pattern but also to obtain information on the optimal design and operation of a PEMC system.

Broadcasting services such as multi/single channel HDTV and 3DTV/2DTV use a multi-channel encoder that changes the bitrate and composition of the video service depending on the time. However, this type of multi-channel encoder could cause a longer latency owing to the variable bitrate and relatively bigger size of the buffers, which results in the same delay as in 3DTV even for a conventional DTV service. On the other hand, systems built based on separate encoders, each of which is optimized for the target service, might not have such latency problems. Nevertheless, there might be a distortion problem in the image and sound at the time of a switchover between two encoders with different output bitrates and group of picture structures. This paper proposes a system that can realize a seamless video service conversion using two different video encoders optimized for each video service. An overall functional description of the video service change control server, which is a main control block for the proposed system, is also provided. The experiment results confirm the seamless switchover and reduced broadcasting latency of DTV services compared with a broadcasting system composed of a multi-channel encoder system.

최근 방송 시스템의 디지털화, 통신기술과 가전제품의 발전으로 스마트 TV 시대가 열리게 되었다. 이제 시청자들은 스마트 TV를 통해 기존의 디지털 방송과 IP(Internet Protocol) 통신이 융합한 하이브리드 방송 서비스가 가능해지면서 기존 방송망을 통한 실시간 콘텐츠 서비스와 더불어 IP망을 통한 VOD(Video on Demand) 서비스, 멀티뷰(Multi-view) 서비스의 이용이 가능하게 되었다. 그 중 멀티뷰 서비스는 시청자가 동일한 시간의 영상을 다양한 시점에서 동시에 볼 수 있는 서비스로서, 하이브리드 방송 환경 하에서 현 방송 규격인 MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream) 콘텐츠와 IP망을 통해 전달되는 실시간/비실시간 콘텐츠가 멀티뷰 서비스가 이루어질 때 콘텐츠 간의 시간정보 규격이 서로 상이하여 동기화에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 이종망을 기반으로 한 하이브리드 방송 환경내의 다시점 콘텐츠의 동기화 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

This paper introduces a programmable multi-format video decoder(MFD) to support HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) standard and for other video coding standards. The goal of the proposed MFD is the high-end FHD(Full High Definition) video decoder needed for a DTV(Digital Tele-Vision) SoC(System on Chip). The proposed platform consists of a hybrid architecture that is comprised of reconfigurable processors and flexible hardware accelerators to support the massive computational load and various kinds of video coding standards. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture is operating at a 300MHz clock that is capable of decoding HEVC bit-stream of FHD 30 frames per second.

This paper analyzes performances of modules in implementing a programmable multi-format video decoder. The goal of the proposed platform is the high-end Full High Definition (FHD) video decoder. The proposed multi-format video decoder consists of a reconfigurable processor, dedicated bit-stream co-processor, memory controller, cache for motion compensation, and flexible hardware accelerators. The experiments suggest performance baseline of modules for the proposed architecture operating at 300 MHz clock with capability of decoding HEVC bit-streams of FHD 30 frames per second.

Video streaming over wireless networks is challenging due to node mobility and high channel error rate. In this paper, we propose a multi-source video streaming (MUVIS) system to support high quality video streaming service over IEEE 802.1l-based wireless networks. We begin by collocating a streaming proxy with the wireless access point to help leverage both the media server and peers in the WLAN. By tracking the peer mobility patterns and performing content discovery among peers, we construct a multi-source sender group and stream video using a rate-distortion optimized scheme. We formulate such a multi-source streaming scenario as a combinatorial packet scheduling problem and introduce the concept of asynchronous clocks to decouple the problem into three steps. First, we decide the membership of the multisource sender group based on the mobility pattern tracking, available video content in each peer and the bandwidth each peer allocates to the multi-source streaming service. Then, we select one sender from the sender group in each optimization instance using asynchronous clocks. Finally, we apply the point-to-point rate-distortion optimization framework between the selected sender-receiver pair. In addition, we implement two different caching strategies, simple caching simple fetching (SCSF) and distortion minimized smart caching (DMSC), in the proxy to investigate the effect of caching on the streaming performance. To design more realistic simulation models, we use the empirical results from corporate wireless networks to generate node mobility. Simulation results show that our proposed multi-source streaming scheme has better performance than the traditional server-only streaming scheme and that proxy-based caching can potentially improve video streaming performance.

This paper proposes the mechanism which improves the qualify of video on a limited network bandwidth by applying the ROI technique to an H.264 Scalable Extension technique. The network environment assumed in this parer is the next generation network convergence environment in which the mobile device has one or more network interfaces. Therefore, we allocate the priority to video packets as the hierarchy structure of H.264 SVC-encoded video stream and ROI information, and transmit those packets over appropriate network channel for using those multiple network interfaces. This paper shows two experiments first one is extracting and allocating the video stream on an appropriate network channel, second one is unequal packet transmission by allocated priorities (e.g. ROI). Performance evaluations show that this approach delivers an improved decoded video quality when compared with conventional transmission schemes, especially on device which has multiple network interfaces.

In this paper, Stereo 4K@60fps 360 VR real-time video capture system which consists of video stream capture, video encoding and stitching module is been designed. The system captures stereo 4K@60fps 360 VR video by stitching 6 of 2K@60fps stream which are captured through HDMI interface from 6 cameras in real-time. In video capture phase, video is captured from each camera using multi-thread in real-time. In video encoding phase, raw frame memory transmission and parallel encoding are used to reduce the resource usage in data transmission between video capture and video stitching modules. In video stitching phase, Real-time stitching is secured by stitching calibration preprocessing.
