Web 2.0 시대의 대표적인 콘텐츠인 UCC와 Learning 콘텐츠를 접목시킨다면, 효과적인 지식공유와 습득을 유도할 수 있을 것이다. 두 콘텐츠를 접목시켰을 때 일어날 수 있는 전문성과 신뢰성, 저작권법 관련 등의 문제점을 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 방안으로 History 검색을 제안한다. 또 그에 따른 메타데이터 설계와 데이터 검색방법을 제안한다. 효율적인 UCC기반 Learning history 검색을 위해서 reference 요소관리가 가능하도록 DB를 설계하였다. 저작도구를 이용하여 제작된 Learning UCC는 reference 요소를 통해 소스 콘텐츠에 관한 정보를 가지고 올 수 있으며, reference DB에 저장된 정보에 따라, 사용자에게 reference에 관한 정보들을 효과적으로 제공 할 수 있다. 저작도구를 사용해야 한다는 제한성과 검색 효율성을 보다 개선한다면 Learning UCC를 관리하기 위한 효과적인 시스템이 될 것이다.

In this paper, we presents conformance test tools for the broadcast web site (BWS) service which is one of the data services for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB). First, the methodology for the conformance test is established for both transmitters and receivers of T-DMB BWS services. The test tools consist of three parts: BWS bitstream analyzer, BWS reference decoder (software) module, and BWS test bitstreams. For testing transmitted BWS bitstreams, we developed the bitstream analyzer. For testing BWS receivers, we developed the reference Ifecoder module and created the test bitstreams. Actually the bitstream analyzer developed in this paper was used for the verification of the test bitstreams. The same test bitstreams are fed to a BWS decoder module under test and the reference decoder module and the results from the two are compared for verification. The test tools can be used for the test of all the protocol and textual/image specifications related to BWS including MOT protocol, HTML, PNG, MNG, JPEG, and Ecma Script.

This paper presents NR (No Reference) Quality assessment method for IPTV or mobile IPTV. Because No Reference quality assessment method does not access the original signal so it is suitable for the real-time streaming service. Our proposed method use decoding parameters, such as quantization parameter, motion vector, and packet loss as a major network parameter. To evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm, we carried out subjective test of video quality with the ITU-T P.910 ACR (Absolute Category Rating) method and obtained the mean opinion score (MOS) value for QVGA 180 video sequence coded by H.264/AVC encoder. Experimental results show the proposed quality metric has a high correlation (84%) to subjective quality.

Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) is one of the most prominent synchronization protocols in wireless sensor nework. Given that the broadcasting medium is available, RBS can give very high accuracy of synchronization. However, RBS uses instantaneous synchronization and results in time discontinuity, which might cause serious faults in the distributed system. Also, RBS lacks packet loss tolerance, which brings about degraded performance in severe conditions of wireless channel. In this paper, the problem of time discontinuity in RBS is pointed out and the effect of packet loss on the performance of RBS is examined. Then, a continuous synchronization and a packet loss tolerance mechanism for RBS are proposed, and the result is verified through simulations.

This paper focuses on online speaker tracking for telephone conversations and broadcast news. Since the online applicability imposes some limitations on the tracking strategy, such as data insufficiency, a reliable approach should be applied to compensate for this shortage. In this framework, a set of reference speaker models are used as side information to facilitate online tracking. To improve the indexing accuracy, adaptation approaches in eigenvoice decomposition space are proposed in this paper. We believe that the eigenvoice adaptation techniques would help to embed the speaker space in the models and hence enrich the generality of the selected speaker models. Also, an index structure of the reference models is proposed to speed up the search in the model space. The proposed framework is evaluated on 2002 Rich Transcription Broadcast News and Conversational Telephone Speech corpus as well as a synthetic dataset. The indexing errors of the proposed framework on telephone conversations, broadcast news, and synthetic dataset are 8.77%, 9.36%, and 12.4%, respectively. Using the index tree structure approach, the run time of the proposed framework is improved by 22%.

Non-reference P frame coding is used to enhance coding efficiency in low-delay encoding configuration of Internet Video Coding (IVC), which is being standardized as a royalty-free video codec in MPEG. The existing method of non-reference P frame coding which was adopted in the reference Test Model of IVC (ITM) 4.0 adaptively applies a non-reference P frame with a fixed coding structure based on the magnitude of motion vectors (MVs), however, which unexpectedly degrades the coding efficiency for some sequences. In this paper, the existing non-reference P frame coding is improved by changing non-reference P frame coding structure and applying a new adaptive method using the ratio of the amount of generated bits of non-reference frames to that of reference frames as well as MVs. Experimental results show that the proposed non-reference P frame coding gives 6.6% BD-rate bit saving in average over ITM 7.0.

현재 MPEG 에서 Royalty-Free 비디오 코덱인 Type-1 표준으로 진행중인 IVC(Internet Video Coding)에서는 저지연 모드(LD: Low-Delay) 부호화 구조에서 비참조 P 프레임 부호화 기법을 적응적으로 사용하여 부호화 이득을 얻고 있다. 비참조 P 프레임 기법은 P 프레임의 타입을 지정하여 고정된 부호화 구조의 비참조 P 프레임을 적용하고 있으나, ITM(IVC Test Model) 9.0 에 구현된 부호화 구조는 다중참조 프레임(MRF: Multiple Reference Frame)을 사용할 때 시간적 예측 거리가 먼 참조 프레임을 먼저 예측하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중참조 프레임에서 기존의 P 프레임 타입 설정을 변경하여 비참조 P 프레임의 부호화 구조를 개선하였다. 실험결과 제안 기법은 시퀀스에 따른 큰 성능 저하 없이 기존 기법 대비 0.6% 정도의 추가적인 비트율 감소로 얻음으로써 비참조 P 프레임 기법이 ITM 9.0 대비 7.9% 정도의 비트율 감소를 얻음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents an inter-prediction technique using deep learning, where a virtual reference frame of the current frame is synthesized by using the reconstructed frames to improve coding efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides 1.9% BD-rate reduction on average as compared to HEVC reference software in the Random Access condition.

본 논문에서는 SVC와 MVC의 부호화 구조를 결합하여 구현된 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화의 움직임 추정 기법과 DPB를 위한 GPB 기반의 RPL (reference picture list) 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 움직임 추정 기법에서는 부호화 과정에서 필요한 예측 부호화의 성능 향상을 위해서 서로 다른 시점 (view)의 픽처 정보를 참조픽처의 후보로서 사용한다. 또한, B픽처 예측의 경우 HEVC에서 사용하는 HEVC GPB 기술을 통해 참조화면에서 두 개의 움직임 벡터를 활용한다. 제안된 움직임 예측 구조에 의해서 압축된 비디오 데이터의 크기를 감소시켜 압축 효율을 증대시킬 수 있다. 다양한 실험을 통해서 제안된 예측 구조를 적용함으로써 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화에서의 압축 효율의 향상을 얻어낼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a reference-free perceptual quality metric is proposed for image assessment. It measures the amount of overall blockiness and blurring in the image. And edge-oriented artifacts, such as ringing, mosaic and staircase noise are also considered. In order to give a single quality score, the individual artifact scores are adaptively combined according to the difference between the edge-oriented artifacts and other artifacts. The quality score obtained by the proposed algorithm shows strong correlation with the MOS values by VQEG.
