When the multiple video sources are transmitted together through the channel of fixed bandwidth, an efficient picture quality control is necessary. This paper presents a joint picture quality control method to satisfy the user requirement by priority among the video sources. The better picture quality is assigned to the source of higher priority compared to lower priority. We obtain the bitrate for each source to have a required distortion level among the sources by using an approximate distortion-bitrate model for simple implementation. It is shown by simulation that the proposed bandwidth allocation method can keep almost the user-required picture quality among the sources in comparison to an independent bandwidth allocation method.

The constrained average method is one of dither methods which combines edge emphasis and grayscale rendition to provide legibility of textual region and proper quality of continuous tone region. How-ever, image quality of continuous tone region is insufficient compared to other dither methods, such as ordered dither methods or the error diffusion method. The constrained average method uses a uniform distribution function to decide number of lit pixels related to the average intensity in a picture area. However, actual distribution of continuous tone region is closer to the Laplacian distribution or triangle distribution. In this paper, we introduce various probability distributions and the actual luminance distribution to decide the threshold value of the constrained average method in order to improve image quality of dithered image.

The bit rate control algorithm which is capable of handing scene change is proposed. In MPEG-2 TM5, block variance is used to measure block activity. But block variance is not consistent with human visual system and does not differenciate the distribution of pixel values within the block. In target bit allocation process of TM5, global complexity, obtained by results of previous coded pictures, is used. Since I pictures are spaced relatively far apart, their complexity estimate is not very accurate. In the proposed algorithm local variance is used to measure block activity and detect scene change. Local variance, using deviation from the mean of neighboring pixels, well represents the distribution of pixel values within the block. If scene change is detected, the local variance information is used for target bit allocation process. Allocating target bits for I picture, the average local variance difference between previous and current I picture is considered. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can detect scene change very precisely and gives better picture quality and higher PSNR values than MPEG-2 TM5.

Motion estimation is one of the key components for high quality video coding. In this paper, a new motion estimation scheme for MPEG-like video coder is suggested. The proposed temporally adaptive motion estimation scheme consists of five functional blocks: Temporal subband analysis (TSBA), extraction of temporal information, scene change detection (SCD), picture type replacement (PTR), and temporally adapted block matching algorithm (TABMA). Here all the functional components are based on the temporal subband analysis. In this papre, we applied the analysis part of subband decompostion to the temporal axis of moving picture sequence, newly defined the temporal activity distribution (TAD) and average TAD, and proposed the temporally adapted block matching algorithm, the scene change detection algorithm and picture type replacement algorithm which employed the results of the temporal subband analysis. A new block matching algorithm TABMA is capable of controlling the block matching area. According to the temporal activity distribution of objects, it allocates the search areas nonuniformly. The proposed SCD and PTR can prevent unavailable motion prediction for abrupt scene changes. Computer simulation results show that the proposed motion estimation scheme improve the quality of reconstructed sequence and reduces the number of block matching trials to 40% of the numbers of trials in conventional methods. The TSBA based scene change detection algorithm can detect the abruptly changed scenes in the intentionally combined sequence of this experiment without additional computations.

It is very important part of pre-processing for get better results by image processing that get emphasized image by processing of source image. Emphasized image is not only good looking image but clear and sharp image. Emphasized images are used very useful data at contour extraction and image recognition in image processing. It have different image recognition by how much represent a origin scene in row quality image. Present algorithms that get emphasized premier image do not get clear picture of degree that want in various kind of images and there is shortcoming that need much process times being proportional size of picture quality or accumulation degree of histogram. In this paper, we propose method to change distribution chart that pixels occupy in histogram as subsequentness in reflex of various kinds as well as that picture quality reflex method to emphasize so that is suitable in practical use purpose originally of premier. Proposed algorithm re-allot histogram distribution by reverse tracking histogram. Experimental images are same result and take less processing time than histogram equalization.

Motion-estimation/motion-compensation (ME/MC) provides superior motion picture quality but its huge computation load results in high cost. Impulsive driving is a cost-effective solution but it suffers from large flicker and brightness loss. Motion compensated impulsive driving technology has been developed to achieve high motion picture quality in a cost-effective implementation by combining ME/MC and impulsive driving. The key idea is to apply ME/MC or impulsive driving selectively according to the motion vector distribution of the incoming image sequence. In this paper, the description of the algorithm and the experimental results are provided.

In this paper, we proposed a method for compressing the static video test patterns in high quality to test the picture quality in DTV. In our method, we use the fact that the generated bits and average quantization value have almost identical distribution characteristics per each GOP and we propose a new target bit allocation method suitable for compressing the static test pattern while the target bit allocation method in MPEG-2 TM5 is suitable for the moving picture. The proposed target bit allocation method is to maintain the high quality video continuously by using the normalized complexities which are updated or maintained by means of picture qualities at each GOP. Experiment result showed that the test pattern stream encoded by MPEG-2 software with the proposed algorithm had a stable bit rate and good video quality during the decoding process.

Service quality is still a new concept to those who works in shipping lines services since it has not been identified as a mandatory factor to increase competitiveness. Most carriers are currently offering services at the same level of price, transit time, equipment, etc. Thus offering a high quality service is the best way for a carrier to differentiate itself from its competitors in the market. The research aims to conduct an assessment on service quality at Wan Hai Lines (WHL) outbound services based on the SERVQUAL model, form of dimension-by-dimension analysis. This study was based on a survey of 135 people. The outcome is the service quality of WHL outbound services can be identified by three dimension(s): Empathy and Responsiveness, Assurance, and Reliability. It would help management to have an overall picture about the current service quality, and to find solutions to improve service quality following the recommendations. WHL managers need to recognize that "Reliability" has the strongest influence on customers' expectations, then come "Empathy and Responsiveness" and "Assurance". Therefore, board of managers should spend time looking carefully at each of the three dimensions, especially for the biggest gap between perceptions and expectations of three dimensions as well. Then the recommendations were raised.
