In this paper. we propose a new video coding scheme with multi-resolution motion compensation and residual quantization. The main functional blocks of the proposed scheme include multi-level wavelet decomposition. motion estimation and motion compensation. raster scanning within each subband. formation of block trees and blocking partitioning. and adaptive arithmetic coding. Although the proposed ceding scheme is simple and requires low computational complexity, it produces bitstreams tilth good features. such as the embedded structure and SNR scalability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed coding scheme is quote competitive to and often outperforms other wavelet-based video coding schemes in the literature.

This paper proposes the wavelet image coding using the significant cluster extraction by morphology and the adaptive quantization. In the conventional MRWD method, the additional seed data takes large potion of the total data bits. The proposed method extracts the significant cluster using morphology to improve the coding efficiency. In addition, the adaptive quantization is proposed to reduce the number of redundant comparative operations which are indispensably occurred in the MRWD quantization. The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm has the improved coding efficiency and computational cost while preserving superior PSNR

In this paper, an effective variable-block-based image compression technique using wavelet transform is proposed. Since the statistical property of each wavelet subband is different, we apply the adaptive quantization to each wavelet subband. In the proposed algorithm, each subband is divided into non-overlapping variable-sized blocks based on directional properties. In addition, we remove wavelet coefficients which are below a certain threshold value for coding efficiency. To compress the transformed data, the proposed algorithm quantizes the wavelet coefficients using scalar quantizer in LL subband and vector quantizers for other subbands to increase compression ratio. The proposed algorithm shows improvements in compression ratio as well as PSNR compared with the existing block-based compression algorithms. In addition, it does not cause any blocking artifacts in very low bit rates even though it is also a block-based method. The proposed algorithm also has advantage in computational complexity over the existing wavelet-based compression algorithms since it is a block-based algorithm.

Sampling rate conversion widely used in subband coding, A/D and D/A transitions etc. is an important techniques Nyquist filters and the filter banks have been used for the sampling converter. However, they need many memories and, whenever the sampling rate is changed, it is necessary to design filters. So the objective of this paper is to present a new kernel that is quick to evaluate and has a good stopband performance.

음향압축에 있어서 인간의 청각신경의 특성을 이용하는 방식이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 방법은 심리음향모델(psychoacustical model)에서 도입되었다. 음향압축에서는 이러한 심리음향모델을 사용하여 인간이 지각할 수 없는 한도 내에서 부호화하지 않는 지각음향부호화(perceptual audio coding)사용한다. 지각음향부호화는 분석필터와 합성필터로 각각 부호화 복호화하는데 이것은 필터뱅크(filter bank)로 구현된 서브밴드코더(subband coder) 이다. 본 논문에서는 분석필터와 합성필터에 사용되는 MDCT(Modified Discrete Cosine Transform)와 IMDCT(Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform)를 FPGA에 구현하였다.

This paper presents the ECG data compression using wavelet transform (WT) and adaptive fractal interpolation (AFI). The WT has the subband coding scheme. The fractal compression method represents any range of ECG signal by fractal interpolation parameters. Specially, the AFI used the adaptive range sizes and got good performance for ECG data cmpression. In this algorithm, the AFI is applied into the low frequency part of WT. The MIT/BIH arhythmia data was used for evaluation. The compression rate using WT and AFI algorithm is better than the compression rate using AFI. The WT and AFI algorithm yields compression ratio as high as 21.0 wihtout any entropy coding.

The modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and its inverse transform (IMDCT) are employed in subband/transform coding schemes as the analysis/synthesis filter bank based on time domain aliasing cancellation (TDAC). And they are the most computational intensive operations in layer III of the MPEG audio coding standard. In this paper, we propose a new efficient algorithm for the MDCT/IMDCT computation. It is based on the MDCT/IMDCT computation algorithm using the discrete cosine transforms (DCTs), and it employs two discrete cosine transform of type II(DCT-II) to compute the MDCT/IMDCT. In addition to, it takes advantage of ability in calculating the MDCT/IMDCT computation, where the length of a data block is divisible by 4. The proposed algorithm in this paper requires less calculation complexity than the existing methods. Also, it can be implemented by the parallel structure,, and its structure is particularly suitable for VLSI realization.

인터프레임 웨이블렛 부호화(Interframe Wavelet Coding)는 3D 서브밴드(Subband) 부호화라고도 하며, 기존의 DCT기반 Hybrid 동영상 부호화 방식에 비해 압축 효율이 우수하고. 특히 스케일러빌리티 기능이 뛰어난 부호화 방법이다. 인터프레임 웨이블렛 부호화 방법에서 복호화 과정 중 가장 연산 량이 많이 요구되는 역(inverse) 웨이블렛 변환이다 역 웨이블렛 변환의 연산 량은 복호화 과정에서 적용된 웨이블렛 변환과 동일한 연산량을 요구한다. 이는 순방향과 역방향에서 동일 길이의 필터와 분해 레벨을 사용해야 하기 때문이다. 이 웨이블렛 변환의 연산 량을 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 기존의 시간 밴드 영상에 대해 동일 한 웨이블렛 필터를 사용하여 공간 웨이블렛 필터를 적용하던 것을. 로우밴드에는 9/7 필터를 적용하고 하이 밴드에는 Haar필터를 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. PSNR 실험에서 기존의 9/7 필터만을 사용하는 경우와 비교한 결과 거의 차이가 없었다.

The conventional bit allocation scheme for MPEG-1 audio encoding searches the subband with minimum MNR(mask-to-noise ratio) repetitively until its operation is completed, which occupies most of its total computational complexity. In this paper, as a computationally efficient approximation of it, we propose a new bit allocation scheme with a simple subband search and compare it with the existing schemes[1][2] in terms of the computational complexity and sound quality. For the performance comparison, we used the pop music signal contained in SQAM(sound quality assess material) CD from EBU. Simulation results show that the computational complexity of the proposed method is about 42% of that of the existing one in [1] and the sound quality difference in terms of MNR between the two schemes is within the 0.2 ㏈, for the case of using the layer II at the bit rate of 128 kbps.
