본 논문에서는 다양한 디지털 컨텐츠들 중에 디지털 비디오에 대한 워터마킹 방법을 제안하였다. 현재 비디오 압축 부호화의 기본 알고리즘으로 사용되는 DCT(discrete cosine transform)는 고압축을 수행할 경우 블록킹 현상이 심하게 나타나는 단점이 있다. 제안한 방법은 이러한 단점을 극복하고 점진적 전송 특성을 갖는 비디오를 위해 웨이브릿 변환 영역에서 SPIHT(set partitioning in hierarchical trees)를 이용한 비디오 부호화 과정에 워터마크를 삽입하였다. SPIHT 부호화 과정에서 비디오 신호의 시간 중복성을 이용한 I 프레임에 대한 이전 프레임의 움직임 벡터를 이용하여 I 프레임에 워터마크를 삽입한다. 워터마크 삽입 시 HVS(human visual system)를 이용하여 움직임 벡터 분석에 의해 선택된 영역에서 지각적 중요 계수 (PSC :perceptual significant coefficient)를 선택하여 워터마크를 삽입한다. 실험 결과 시간 중복성과 HVS를 이용하여 I 프레임에 워터마크를 삽입하였기 때문에 비가시성과 강인성이 우수함을 확인하였다.

채널만을 고려한 부호화 방법보다 소스의 특성을 이용해 채널 부호화를 수행하는 것이 더 효율적이라는 사실은 일반적으로 잘 알려져 있다. 따라서 소스의 특성을 이용한 채널 부호화 방법은 중요한 연구과제이며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 이러한 연구 결과로써 IP-SCCC(Interleaved puncturing serially concatenated convolutional codes)는 터보코드와 마찬가지로 반복복호가 가능하고 가변 부호율의 채널부호화를 수행할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 영상에 대한 웨이블렛 변환의 다른 스케일간의 자기 유사성을 이용한 SPIHT(set partitioning in hierarchical tree) 알고리즘으로 부호화된 정지영상에 대해 IP-SCCC를 사용한 UEP(unequal error protection) 채널부호화 방법을 제시한다. 또한 레일리 페이딩과 부가 백색 가우시안 잡음이 동시에 존재하는 채널을 모델링해서 실험을 수행하고 제안 방법의 성능을 검증한다.

The Seoul metropolitan subway system can be represented by a graph which consists of nodes and edges. In this paper, we study classification of subway stations and trip behaviour of subway passengers through partitioning the graph of the subway system into roughly equal groups. A weight of each edge of the graph is set to the number of passengers who pass the edge, where the number of passengers is extracted from the transportation card transaction database. Since the graph partitioning problem is NP-complete, we propose a heuristic algorithm to partition the subway graph. The heuristic algorithm uses one of two alternative objective functions, one of which is to minimize the sum of weights of edges connecting nodes in different groups and the other is to maximize the ratio of passengers who get on the subway train at one subway station and get off at another subway station in the same group to the total subway passengers. In the experimental results, we illustrate the subway stations and edges in each group by color on a map and analyze the trip behaviour of subway passengers by the group origin-destination matrix.

The Median of a set of number is a number which partitions the given set. The specified numbers of a set partitions in one subset and in another subset. In Image Processing, The Sorting method of numbers of one subset equal to the previous Median Filtering. but The Sorting method of numbers of another subset not equal to in the other. In this paper, a fast two-dimentional Median Filtering Algorithm is proposed. The Algorithm designed in such a during the partitioning of the previous window are used. Test results obtained by running the Algorithm on IBM PC(586) are presented and its filtering. It is shown that the proposed Algorithm's processing time is faster and independent of the number of bits used to represent the data values.

The head-related transfer function (HRTF), which has an important role in virtual sound localization has different characteristics across the subjects. Measuring HRTF is very time-consuming and requires a set of specific apparatus. Accordingly, HRTF customization is often employed. In this paper, we propose a method to search an adequate HRTF from a set of the HRTFs. To achieve rapid and reliable customization of HRTF, all HRTFs in the database are partitioned, where a binary search tree was employed. The distortion measurement adopted in HRTF partitioning was determined in a heuristic way, which predicts the differences in perceived sound location well. The DC-Davis CIPIC HRTF database set was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In the listening test, where 10 subjects were participated, the stimuli filtered by the HRTF obtained by the proposed method were closer to those by the personalized HRTF in terms of sound localization. Moreover, performance of the proposed method was shown to be superior to the previous customization method, where the HRFT is selected by using anthropometric data.

This paper addresses a new triangulation method for constructing surface model from a set of wire-frame contours. The most important problem of contour triangulation is the branching problem, and we provide a new solution for the double branching problem, which occurs frequently in real data. The multiple branching problem is treated as a set of double branchings and an algorithm based on contour merging is developed. Our double branching algorithm is based on partitioning of root contour by Toussiant's polygon triangulation algorithml[14]. Our double branching algorithm produces quite natural surface model even if the branch contours are very complicate in shape. We treat the multiple branching problem as a problem of coarse section sampling in z-direction, and provide a new multiple branching algorithm which iteratively merge a pair of branch contours using imaginary interpolating contours. Our method is a natural and systematic solution for the general branching problem of contour triangulation. The result shows that our method works well even though there are many complicated branches in the object.

We propose a model which overlaps communication with computation for efficient communication in the data-parallel programming paradigm. The overlapping model divides a given loop partition into several sub-partitions to obtain computation which can be overlapped with communication. A loop partition sometimes refers to other data partitions, but not all iterations in the loop partition require non-local data. So, a loop partition may be divided into a set of loop iterations which require non-local data, and a set of loop iterations which do not. Each loop sub-partition is dynamically scheduled depending on associated message arrival, The experimental results for a few benchmarks in IBM SP2 show enhanced performance in our overlapping model.

This paper proposes a method to solve problems that may occur when SPIHT(set partition in hierarchical trees) is used in a dedicated codec for compressing complex holograms with ultra-high resolution. The development of codecs for complex holograms can be largely divided into a method of creating dedicated compression methods and a method of using anchor codecs such as HEVC and JPEG2000 and adding post-processing techniques. In the case of creating a dedicated compression method, a separate conversion tool is required to analyze the spatial characteristics of complex holograms. Zero-tree-based algorithms in subband units such as EZW and SPIHT have a problem that when coding for high-resolution images, intact subband information is not properly transmitted during bitstream control. This paper proposes a method of dividing wavelet subbands to solve such a problem. By compressing each divided subbands, information throughout the subbands is kept uniform. The proposed method showed better restoration results than PSNR compared to the existing method.

The current paper proposes a new multispectral image data compression algorithm that can efficiently reduce spatial and spectral redundancies by applying classified prediction, a Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT), and the three-dimensional set partitioning in hierarchical trees (3-D SPIHT) algorithm In the wavelet transform (WT) domain. The classification is performed in the WT domain to exploit the interband classified dependency, while the resulting class information is used for the interband prediction. The residual image data on the prediction errors between the original image data and the predicted image data is decorrelated by a KLT. Finally, the 3D-SPIHT algorithm is used to encode the transformed coefficients listed in a descending order spatially and spectrally as a result of the WT and KLT. Simulation results showed that the reconstructed images after using the proposed algorithm exhibited a better quality and higher compression ratio than those using conventional algorithms.
