IPTV, VOD와 같은 스트리밍 서비스와 유료 케이블 TV 방송 채널, 유료 위성방송 채널 등에는 반드시 제한 수신 시스템(Conditional Access System, CAS)이 필요하다. CAS시스템은 인증 받은 사용자에게는 깨끗한 화면을 보여주어야 하고 인증 받지 않은 사용자에게는 정상적으로 화면을 즐길 수 없도록 하여야 한다. 이러한 환경을 만들기 위하여 추가비용이 적은 알고리즘이 필요한데 그 방법으로 암호화를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 CAS 등의 인증시스템을 위하여 H.264 영상의 선택적 암호화를 구현하였다. 제안하는 방법은 여러 가지 포맷으로 된 콘텐츠를 트랜스코딩하여 YUV 형식으로 변환한 뒤, 이것을 H.264 코덱을 이용하여 압축한 다음 필요에 따라 특정한 부분을 암호화하는 것이다. 실험을 통하여 암호화 키가 없는 미 인증 사용자는 영상을 제대로 볼 수 없었고 암호화의 강도를 강하게 할 경우 재생은 되지만 영상의 확인이 불가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 300프레임의 영상을 암호화 하는데 평균 71.3초가 걸려 속도 역시 빠름을 확인하였다. 제안하는 내용은 IPTV, VOD와 같은 스트리밍 서비스에서의 사용자 인증 및 저작권 보호 등의 분야에 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

Recently, there has been explosive growth in Internet service contents, and we have witnessed the emergence of many real-time applications on the Internet. These types of applications require special support from the underlying network such as reliability, timeless, and guaranteed delivery, as well as different levels of service quality. Estimation network status and transcoding data rate are researching for QoS of multimedia service by using the RTP/RTCP. We propose two schemes that the way to calculate the one-way delay by expanding the structure of RTP/RTCP in Internet that provides us 'best effort' service and to estimate the network condition by using this in this paper. And we propose the dynamic RTCP mechanism based on one-way delay to deal with rapidly changed network situation immediately. In simulation, proposed monitoring schemes using the one-way delay has similar in performance to monitoring schemes using the GPS, proposed dynamic RTCP scheme obtain the desired result of decreased packet loss rate by sending RTCP RR packet lower than other schemes.

In this paper, we propose a new functionality to Scalable Video Coding (SVC), which is the support of multiple ROIs for heterogeneous display resolution. Scalable video coding is targeted at giving temporal, spatial, and quality scalability for the encoded bit stream. Region of interest (ROI) is an area that is semantically important to a particular user, especially users with heterogeneous display resolutions. The bitstream containing the ROIs could to be extracted without any transcoding operations, which may be one of way to satisfy QoS. To define multiple ROI in SVC, we adapted FMO, a tool defined in H.264, and based on it, we propose a way to encode and decode ROIs. The proposed method is implemented on the JSVM1.0 and the functionality is verified using it.

This paper presents a video bitrate converter for baseline profile in H.264/AVC standards to control a selective coding scheme for several applications such as tactical scenes or multimedia area. Transmission channels have various capacities according to the application area, and the bitstream stored in computer should be converted in order not to exceed the capacities of a transmission channel. So the problem is how to convert compressed bitsreams of a given bit-rate into compressed bitsreams of other bit-rates. Such a specific transcoding problem in this paper is referred to as bit-rate conversion. Several researches have been done on bit-rate conversion for the bitstreams compressed by MPEG or H.264/AVC. But the existing schemes are not suitable for selective coding scheme because it needs to recover interest regions better image quality than background. So we propose a new bit-rate converter which considers the importance between interest regions and background.

Management of biosignal data in mobile devices causes many problems in real-time transmission of large volume of multimedia data or storage devices. Therefore, this research paper intends to suggest an m-Health system, a clinical data processing system using mobile in order to provide quick medical service. This system deployed health system on IP network, compounded outputs from many bio sensing in remote sites and performed integrated data processing electronically on various bio sensors. The m-health system measures and monitors various biosignals and sends them to data servers of remote hospitals. It is an Android-based mobile application which patients and their family and medical staff can use anywhere anytime. Medical staff access patient data from hospital data servers and provide feedback on medical diagnosis and prescription to patients or users. Video stream for patient monitoring uses a scalable transcoding technique to decides data size appropriate for network traffic and sends video stream, remarkably reducing loads of mobile systems and networks.

MPEG2(or some situations, MPEG is mostly used to change the raw image into the compressed bitstreams for digital image processing. Also these bitsreams are stored in computer for several applications such as multimedia area. Transmission channels have various capacities according to the application area, and the bitstreams stored in computer should be converted in order not to exceed the capacities of a transmission channel. So the problem is how to convert compressed bitstreams of a given bit-rate into compressed bitstreams of other bit-rates. Such a specific transcoding problem in this paper is referred to as bit-rate conversion. Several researches have been done on bit-rate conversion for the bitstreams compressed by MPEG. But the existing schemes are not suitable fort MPEG4 applications because it needs to transmit shape information( which is not necessary for MPEG2) as well as texture information in MPEG4 system. So we propose a new bit-rate converter which considers both texture and shape information.

Most watermarking schemes for video contents protection have been studied to increase watermark's robustness and invisibility against such compressions and many kinds of signal processing after embedding copyright information to the original contents. This paper proposes an active watermarking that infect watermark to contents in the video decoding process using embedded infectious watermark and control signals from a video encoder side. To achieve this algorithm, we design a kernel based watermarking in video encoder side that is possible to recover the original contents and watermark in watermark detection procedure perfectly. And then, by reversible de-watermarking in video decoder side, we design the active watermark infection method using detected watermark and control signal. This means that our system can provide secure re-distributions of video contents without any quality degration and watermark bit error against transcoding or re-encoding processing. By experimental results, we confirmed that the embedded watermark was infected by video contents and codec perfectly without any declines of compression ratio and video quality.

Recent popularity of web-ready mobile devices such as PDA and cellphone has made mobile Internet access very popular. However, most of existing Web contents and services are optimized for desktop computing environment and not well suited for mobile devices. Considering different system features of mobile devices such as small display and limited input capability, an alternative scheme to access the Web efficiently is required. On the other hand, personalization plays an important role in the tailored access to the Web contents and services. In this paper, we propose a proxy- based personalization scheme of Web service pages for mobile users. For that purpose, in addition to log data. service related features of Web pages are considered for the correct identification of popular services. It automatically provides mobile users with the tailored list of Web services well suited for diverse mobile devices. Consequently, mobile users can utilize customized Web services with minimum navigation on the mobile devices with limited capability. In order to show its effectiveness, we have performed several experiments on the prototype system and reported some of the results.

최근 인터넷에서 많은 관심을 보이고 있는 개인 미디어(UCC;User Created, Contents, VC2;Viewer Created Contents, 이하 UCC-사용자가 직접 제작한 미디어 콘텐츠를 불특정 다수에게 제공하는 서비스) 중에 비디오/오디오 콘텐츠를 영상 콘텐츠의 기본적인 매체라 할 수 있는 TV상에서 직접 즐길 수 있다면 미디어의 대상과 그 미디어의 Entertainment적인 효과는 배가될 것이다. 디지털 케이블 방송에서 UCC와 같은 다양하고 많은 미디어 콘텐츠를 디지털 TV상에서 서비스를 하고자 한다면 현재의 OCAP(OpenCable Application Plat form)기반에서는 RVOD(Real Video on Demand)와 동일한 서비스 모델을 가져야 하는 부담과 UCC 제공을 위한 방송 플랫폼별 인터페이스가 필요할 것이다. 이러한 문제점을 Return Path를 통한 RTP(Real-time Transport Protocol;RFC1889)을 이용해서 기존의 VoD(Video on Demand)스트림의 대역에서 분리하고 별도의 VOD프로토콜을 구현함으로써 라이브 방송환경과 동일한 인프라의 지속적인 확장보다는 일반적인 네트워크 프로토콜을 이용하여 VoD서비스를 위한 인프라에 많은 영향을 받지 않는 서비스가 가능할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 RTP를 위한 Set-Top-Box상의 다운로드 가능한 구조의 클래스 분석과 클라이언트 대응의 UCC Transcoding 및 전송을 위한 스트리밍 서버의 설계에 중점을 두고 경량화 된 VOD서비스 및 시스템을 설계함으로써 방송환경 하에 On-Demand서비스의 효율적인 확장성과 보다 많은 콘텐츠 등록 및 활용의 기회를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

We derive a modified version of the cubic convolution scaler to enlarge or reduce the size of digital image with arbitrary ratio. To enhance the edge information of the scaled image and to obtain a high-quality scaled image, the proposed scaler is applied along the direction of an edge. Since interpolation along the direction of an edge has to process nonuniformly sampled data, the kernel of the cubic convolution scaler is modified to interpolate the data. The proposed scaling scheme can be used to resize pictures in various formats in a transcoding system that transforms a bit stream compressed at one bit rate into one compressed at another bit rate. In many applications, such as transcoders, the resolution conversion is very important for changing the image size while maintaining high quality of the scaled image. We show experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed interpolation method. The proposed scheme provides clearer edges, without artifacts, in the resized image than do conventional schemes. The algorithm exhibits significant improvement in the minimization of information loss when compared with the conventional interpolation algorithms.
