In this paper, enhanced multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) using reduction of one-pixel shift in wavelet domain is proposed. Conventional multiresolution motion estimation using hierarchical relationship of wavelet coefficient has difficulty for accurate motion estimation due to shift-variant property by decimation process of the wavelet transform. Therefore, to overcome shift-variant property of wavelet coefficient, two level wavelet transform is performed. In order too reduce one-pixel shift on low band signal, S$_4$ band is interpolated by inserting average value. Secondly, one level wavelet transform is applied to the interpolated S$_4$ band. To estimate initial motion vector, block matching algorithm is applied to low band signal S$_{8}$. Multiresolution motion estimation is performed at the rest subbands in low level. According to the experimental results, proposed method showed 1-2dB improvement of PSNR performance at the same bit rate as well as subjective quality compared with the conventional multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) methods and full-search block matching in wavelet domain.

In this paper, we propose a vector quantization method which uses a dynamic address mapping based on exploring the high interblock correlation. In the proposed method, we reduce bit-rate by defining an address transform function, which maps a VQ address of an input block which will be encoded into a new address in the reordered codebook by using side match error. In one case that an original address can be transformed into a new transformed address which is lower than the threshold value, we encode the new address of the transformed convector, and in the other case we encode the address of the original convector which is not transformed. Experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme reduces the bit-rate by 45~50% compared with the ordi-nary VQ method forimage compression, at the same quality of the reconstructed image as that of the ordinary VQ system.

In this paper, we propose an audio watermarking method using the attribute of tonal masker. First, the attribute of tonal masker as an audio watermarking attribute is analyzed. According to existing researches, it is possible to be imperceptible modulation for the energies of the frequencies that compose a tonal masker. And when the relation between the tone energy and the left or right frequency energy after various signal processing is compared with the one before the processing, very few changes are showed. We propose an audio watermarking method using these attributes of tonal masker. A watermark bit is embedded by the modulation of the difference between the two neighboring frequency energies of a tone. In the detection, the modulated the tonal masker is searched using the key wed in the embedding without original audio and the embedded watermark bit is detected. After each attack of noise insertion, band-pass filtering, re-sampling, compression, echo transform and equalization, the detection error ratios of the proposed method were average 0.11%, 1.26% for Classics and Pops. And the SDG(Subjective Diff-Grades) scale evaluation of the sound quality of the watermarked audio result in the average SDG -0.31.

A two-dimensional optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) encoder/decoder, which is composed of add/drop filters and all-pass filters for delay operation, is proposed. An example design is presented, and its feasibility is illustrated through numerical simulations. The chip area of the proposed OCDMA encoder/decoder could be about one-third that of a previous OCDMA device employing delay waveguides. Its performance is numerically investigated using the transfer-matrix method combined with the fast Fourier transform. The autocorrelation peak level over the maximum cross-correlation level for incorrect wavelength hopping and spectral phase code combinations is greater than 3 at the center of the correctly decoded pulse, which assures a bit error rate lower than 10^-3, corresponding to the forward error-correction limit.

In this paper, we propose a wavelet based fast motion estimation algorithm for video sequence encoding with very low bit-rate. By using one of properties oi wavelet transform, multi-resolution analysis(MRA) property and spatial Interpolation of an image, we are able to reduce both prediction error and computational complexity at the same time. Especially, by defining a significant block(SB) based on the differential information of wavelet coefficients between successive frames, the proposed algorithm makes up a defect of multi-resolution motion estimation(MRME) algorithm of increasing the number of motion vectors. As experimental results. we can reduce the computational load up to 70% but also improve PSNR up to about 0.1 ∼ 1.2 dB comparing with the MRME algorithm.

정확한 움직임 추정 기술은 원본과 가장 유사한 영상의 복원에 효과적이고 압축률에도 중요한 영향을 미친다. 하지만 기존의 전역 탐색 (Full Search) 알고리듬과 Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD)라는 정합 오차 기준은 연산량이 높고 하드웨어 구현시 비효율적이다. 이를 보완하기 위한 1비트 변환 알고리듬은 움직임 벡터의 변화량을 0과 1의 연산으로 나타내는데, 이 알고리듬은 움직임이 많아 픽셀 값의 변화가 심한 블록의 변화량도 0과 1로만 표현한다. 그렇기 때문에 정확한 움직임이 반영되지 않고 그로 인해 낮은 Peak Siganl to Noise Ratio (PSNR)을 가져온다. 이 점을 개선하고자 본 논문에서는 참조블록들의 움직임 벡터를 파악하고 분류하여 선택적으로 움직임의 변화량이 큰 영역은 전역 탐색 알고리듬을, 움직임이 작거나 없는 영역은 1비트 연산을 수행하도록 하여 기존의 알고리듬과 비교하여 Peak Siganl to Noise Ratio (PSNR)측면에서 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Two-way relaying is an effective way of improving system spectral efficiency by making use of physical layer network coding. However, energy efficiency in OFDM-based bidirectional relaying with asymmetric traffic requirement has not been investigated. In this study, we focused on subcarrier transmission mode selection, bit loading, and power allocation in a multicarrier single amplified-and-forward relay system. In this scheme, each subcarrier can operate in two transmission modes: one-way relaying and two-way relaying. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. We adopt a structural approximation optimization method that first decouples the original problem into two suboptimal problems with fixed subcarrier subsets and then finds the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets. Although the suboptimal problems are nonconvex, the results obtained for a single-tone system are used to transform them to convex problems. To find the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets, an iterative algorithm based on subcarrier ranking and matching is developed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve system performance compared with conventional methods. Some interesting insights are also obtained via simulation.
