MPEG-1 audio standard is the algorithm for the compression of high-qualify digital audio signals. The standard dictates the functions of encoder and decoder pair, and includes three different layers as the complexity and the performance of the encoder and decoder. In this paper, we implemented the real-time system of MPEG-1 audio layer III decoder(MP3) with the TMS320C541 fixed point DSP chip. MP3 algorithm uses psycho-acoustic characteristic of human hearing system, and it reduces the amount of data with eliminating the signals hard to be heard to the hearing system of human being. It is difficult to implement MP3 decoder with fixed Point DSP because of it's broad dynamic range. We implemented realtime system with fixed DSP chip by using weighted look-up tables to reduce the amount of calculation and solve the problem of broad dynamic range.

In this paper, digital watermarking method using wavelet transform and quad-tree algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms the input image by DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) and AWPT(Adaptive Wavelet Packet Transform), inserts the watermark by quad-tree algorithm and the Cox's algorithm. The simulation for performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is implemented about the effect of embedding watermark in each subband coefficient (HH, LH, HL) of DWT, each DWT level, and each AWPT level. The simulation result by using DWT is compared with that using AWPT in the proposed algorithm. In addition, the effect of embedding watermark in the lowest frequency band (LL) is simulated. As a simulation result using DWT, the watermarking performance of simultaneously embedding in HH, LH, and HL band of DWT(6 level) is better than that of different cases. The result of AWPT(3 level) improves the correlation value compared to that of DWT(3 level). In addition, insertion the watermark to the LL band about 30~60% of all watermarks improves the correlation value while PSNR performance decreases 1~2dB.

In this paper, we present a histogram and moment-based vidoe scencd change detection technique using hierarchical Hidden Markov Models(HMMs). The proposed method extracts histograms from a low-frequency subband and moments of edge components from high-frequency subbands of wavelet transformed images. Then each HMM is trained by using histogram difference and directional moment difference, respectively, extracted from manually labeled video. The video segmentation process consists of two steps. A histogram-based HMM is first used to segment the input video sequence into three categories: shot, cut, gradual scene changes. In the second stage, a moment-based HMM is used to further segment the gradual changes into a fade and a dissolve. The experimental results show that the proposed technique is more effective in partitioning video frames than the previous threshold-based methods.

This paper proposed face recognition methods about performance improvement of the face recognition using the properties of wavelet transform. Using discrete wavelet transform is Daubechies D4 filter that is similar to mother wavelet transform. For discrete wavelet transform method, In this case, by using LL subband only we can reduce processing time and amount of memory in recognition processing. To improve recognition ratio without further loss of 2 dimensional data changing, We applies 2D LDA. We perform SVM training algorithm to the feature vector obtained by 2D LDA. Experiment is performed using ORL database set and Yale database set by Matlab program. Test result shows that proposed method is superior to existence methods in recognition rate and performance time.

In In this paper, we proposed a new JPEG2000 codec using multiresolution-based rendering (MRBR) technique for video compression of 3-dimensional digital cinema. We introduced discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for stereoscopic image and stereo matching technique in the wavelet domain. The disparity was extracted using stereo matching and transmitted with the reference (left) image. Since the generated right image was degraded by the occlusion lesion, the residual image which is generated from difference between the original right image and the generated one was transmitted at the same tine. The disparity data was extracted using the dynamic programming method in the disparity domain. There is high correlation between the higher and lower subbands. Therefore we decreased the calculation amount and enhanced accuracy by restricting the search window and applying the disparity information generated from higher subband.

In this paper, we propose a method of compressing digital hologram standardized data provided by JPEG Pleno. In numerical reconstruction of digital holograms, the addition of random phases for visualization reduces speckle noise due to interference and doubles the compression efficiency of holograms. Holograms are composed of completely complex floating point data, and due to ultra-high resolution and speckle noise, it is essential to develop a compression technology tailored to the characteristics of the hologram. First, frequency characteristics of hologram data are analyzed using various wavelet filters to analyze energy concentration according to filter types. Second, we introduce the subband selection algorithm using energy concentration. Finally, the JPEG2000, SPIHT, H.264 results using the Daubechies 9/7 wavelet filter of JPEG2000 and the proposed method are used to compress and restore, and the efficiency is analyzed through quantitative quality evaluation compared to the compression rate.

The plasmon behaviors in a superlattice of $GaAs/Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ multiple quantum wells with a half-parabolic confining potential due to different dielectric interfaces are studied under magnetic and electric fields perpendicular and parallel to the superlattice axis by using a previously published theoretical framework. From the density-density correlation functions by considering the intrasubband and the inter-subband transitions under the random phase approximation, we calculate the dispersion energies of the surface and the bulk states as functions of the composition of the multiple quantum well structure and of the magnetic field strength and the average electric field strength over the quantum well. The Raman intensities for various magnetic field strengths and average electric field strengths over the quantum well are also obtained as a function of the energy of the incoming light for these states.

This paper proposes a robust audio watermarking algorithm for copyright protection and improvement of sound quality after embedding a watermark into an original sound. The proposed method computes the FFT (fast Fourier transform) of the original sound signal and divides the spectrum into a subbands. Then, it is necessary to calculate the energy of each subband and sort n subbands in descending order corresponding to its power. After calculating the energy we choose k subbands in sorted order and find p peaks in each selected subbands, and then embed a length m watermark around the p peaks. When the listeners hear the watermarked sound, they do not recognize any distortions. Furthermore, the proposed method is robust as much as Cox's method to MP3 compression, cropping, FFT echo attacks. In addition to this, the experimental results show that the proposed method is generally 10 dB higher than Cox's method in SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) aspect.

In this paper, the wavelet video coding using Low-Band-Shift(LBS) method and multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) is proposed. To overcome shift- variant property on wavelet coefficients, the LBS was proposed. LBS method previously has superior performance in terms of rate-distortion characteristic. However, this method needs more memory and computational complexity. Therefore to reduce computational complexity of video coding using LBS, we combine MRME with LBS. When mm is applied only, it has 7 times as much as existing method's motion vector because each subband has different motion vector using property of LBS, number of motion vector decreases. Proposed method decreases motion vector, and it decreases motion compensated Prediction error by detailed motion estimation. And then it shows better coding performance. Also this method reduces computational amount by smaller search area in higher resolution. The computational complexity of the proposed method is 12.1% of that of existing method at 3-level wavelet transform. The experimental results with the proposed method show about 0.2∼9.7% improvement of MAD performance in case of lossless coding, and 0.1∼2.0㏈ improvement of PSNR performance at 4he same bit rate in case of lossy coding.

In this paper, we propose and verify an adaptive block watermarking algorithm based on JPEG2000 DWT, which determines watermarking for the original image by two scaling factors in order to overcome image degradation and blocking problem at the edge. Adaptive block watermarking algorithm uses 2 scaling factors, one is calculated by the ratio of present block average to the next block average, and the other is calculated by the ratio of total LL subband average to each block average. Signals of adaptive block watermark are obtained from an original image by itself and the strength of watermark is automatically controlled by image characters. Instead of conventional methods using identical intensity of a watermark, the proposed method uses adaptive watermark with different intensity controlled by each block. Thus, an adaptive block watermark improves the visuality of images by 4$\sim$14dB and it is robust against attacks such as filtering, JPEG2000 compression, resizing and cropping. Also we implemented the algorithm in ASIC using Hynix 0.25${\mu}m$ CMOS technology to integrate it in JPEG2000 codec chip.
