A subjective video quality assessment methods are proposed based on CCIR Rec. 500-5 for an evaluation and testing of compressed video quality and performance of video codec to be designed in accordance with the MPEG-2 MP ML specification which is adapted as a DTV standard for Korea digital DBS. Video sequence compressed in compliance with MPEG-2 MP ML encoding parameterswastested by the proposed video quality evaluation procedure. Test sequence were compressed at the bit rate 6Mbps, 7.5Mbps and 9Mbps, repectively. Test results of the 7.5Mbps bitrate showed a satisfactory picture quality at about 4.0 on the 5.0 absolute scale of ITU-R 500-5.

The video coding for very low bit rate has recently received considerable attention, but conventional block based transform coding schemes suffer from the blocking effect for the constraints of bit rates. In this paper, we present a video coding sysem suing multi-resolution motion estimation/compensation with variable size block(VMRME/C) and multi-resolution vector quantization(MRVQ) in wavelet transform domain for very low bit rate coding. It is shown that the presented scheme has better performance in the peak signal-to-nose ratio(RSNR) by 0.2-0.6 dB as well as subjective quality than that of conventional block based transform video coding techniques(especially, H. 263 which is DCT based video coding).

HEVC 표준은 정수 화소로 표현된 신호에 DCT-II를 기반으로 하는 보간 필터를 사용하여 부화소 신호를 생성한다. 이러한 방법으로 생성된 신호는 움직임 보상 및 예측의 성능 향상을 가져온다. HEVC 표준은 부화소를 생성하기 위해서 길이가 다른 각각의 DCT 보간 필터를 사용하고 있다. 1/2-화소를 생성할 땐, 필터의 길이가 8인 DCT 기반 보간 필터를 사용하며, 1/4-화소와 3/4-화소의 경우에는 필터의 길이가 7인 DCT 기반 보간 필터를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 DST-VII을 기반으로 하는 보간 필터를 제안하여, 움직임 보상 및 예측의 성능 향상을 가져온다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 HEVC 표준보다 BD-rate가 Random Access와 Low Delay B configurations에서 각각 0.45%와 0.5%의 성능 향상을 가져온다.

본 논문에서는 비트율이 낮고 부호화 절차가 간단하여 근거리 영상 전송에 적합한 영상 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 현재 프레임과 이전 프레임 사이의 영상 DPCM을 행하여 시간적인 중복성을 제거하고, 이차영상을 웨이브릿 변환한다. 다중해상도 영상의 레벨간 중복성으로 인하여 기저 레벨과 중간 주파수 레벨계수를 이용해 동일 위치의 다른 레벨 계수들에 대해 선별적인 양자화를 행하며, 목표 비트율 및 계수의 평균 에너지와 레벨 값을 통해 양자화 함수를 생성하여 적응적인 양자화 계수를 정한다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 움직임이 연속적인 동영상 및 장면 전환이 있는 영상에서 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.

유비쿼터스 환경에서의 비디오 적응 변환을 위하여 현재 MPEG-4 AVC/SE SVC에서는 공간적, 시간적, 품질적 스케일러빌리티를 지원하고 있다. 이러한 스케일러빌리티의 변환은 가변적인 대역폭을 가지는 네트워크 특성에 따라 실시간으로 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 현재의 SVC에서는 품질적 스케일러빌리티에 대해서는 실시간으로 스케일러빌리티를 변환할 수 잇지만 공간적, 시간적 스케일러빌리티에 대해서는 이를 제대로 지원할 수 없다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이와 관련된 문제점들을 자세히 알아보고 이를 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 부호시에는 주기적으로 IDR NAL을 삽입하였다. 추출시에는 실시간 추출에 필요한 정보들을 미리 분석한 후 실제 추출시에 활용하여 실시간 추출을 가능하도록 하였다. 마지막으로 복호시에는 실시간 스케일러빌리티를 지원할 수 있는 프로세스를 정의하였다. 이를 JSVM4.0에 구현하였고 주어진 네트워크 대역폭에 스케일러빌리티를 통하여 적응된 비트스트림의 비트레이트, PSNR, 스케일러빌리티를 측정하여 제안된 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

In the near future, traditional narrow and fixed viewpoint video services will be replaced by high-quality panorama video services. This paper proposes a visual-attention-aware progressive region of interest (RoI) trick mode streaming service (VA-PRTS) that prioritizes video data to transmit according to the visual attention and transmits prioritized video data progressively. VA-PRTS enables the receiver to speed up the time to display without degrading the perceptual quality. For the proposed VA-PRTS, this paper defines a cutoff visual attention metric algorithm to determine the quality of the encoded video slice based on the capability of visual attention and the progressive streaming method based on the priority of RoI video data. Compared to conventional methods, VA-PRTS increases the bitrate saving by over 57% and decreases the interactive delay by over 66%, while maintaining a level of perceptual video quality. The experiment results show that the proposed VA-PRTS improves the quality of the viewer experience for interactive panoramic video streaming services. The development results show that the VA-PRTS has highly practical real-field feasibility.

Transform-domain JND (Just Noticeable Difference)-based for PVC (Perceptual Video Coding) is often performed in quantization processes to effectively remove perceptual redundancy. This study examined the JND-suppression effects on quantized coefficients of transform in HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding). To reveal the JND-suppression effect in quantization, the properties of the floor functions were used for modeling the quantized coefficients, and a JND-adjustment process in an HEVC-compliant PVC scheme was used to tune the JND values by analyzing the JND suppression effect. In the experimental results, the bitrate reduction decreases slightly, but the PSNR and perceptual quality are improved significantly when the proposed JND adjustment process is applied.

This paper describes the scalable extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) to provide flexible high-quality digital video content services. The proposed scalable codec is designed on multi-loop decoding architecture to support inter-layer sample prediction and inter-layer motion parameter prediction. Inter-layer sample prediction is enabled by inserting the reconstructed picture of the reference layer (RL) into the decoded picture buffer of the enhancement layer (EL). To reduce the motion parameter redundancies between layers, the motion parameter of the RL is used as one of the candidates in merge mode and motion vector prediction in the EL. The proposed scalable extension can support scalabilities with minimum changes to the HEVC and provide average Bj${\o}$ntegaard delta bitrate gains of about 24% for spatial scalability and of about 21% for SNR scalability compared to simulcast coding with HEVC.

The next-generation video coding standard known as High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) was developed with the aim of doubling the bitrate reduction offered by H.264/Advanced Video Coding (AVC) at the expense of an increase in computational complexity. Mode decision with motion estimation is still one of the most time-consuming computations in HEVC, as it is with H.264/AVC. Several schemes for a fast mode decision have been presented in reference software and in other studies. However, a possible speed-up in conventional schemes is sometimes insignificant for videos that have inhomogeneous spatial and temporal characteristics. This paper proposes a bypass algorithm to skip large-block-size predictions for videos where small block sizes are preferred over large ones. The proposed algorithm does not overlap with those in previous works, and thus, is easily used with other fast algorithms. Consequently, an independent speed-up is possible.

This paper proposes a tile level rate control for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The proposed tile level rate control is designed by considering the multi-core platform of tile in HEVC. The proposed tile level rate control allocates the number of bits for each tile based on the predetermined weight generated from the current picture level rate control. According to the experimental results, the proposed tile level rate control for HEVC on multi-core platform loses negligibly the bitrate accuracy about 0.07% on average over the reference software HM-14.0.
