The need for video diagnosis in medicine has been increased and real-time transfer of digital video will be an important component in PACS and telemedicine. But, Network environment has certain limitations that the required throughput can not satisfy quality of service (QoS). MPEG-4 ratified as a moving video standard by the ISO/IEC provides very efficient video coding covering the various ranges of low bit-rate in network environment. We implemented MPEG-4 CODEC (coder/decoder) and applied various compression ratios to moving ultrasound images. These images were displayed in random order on a client monitor passed through network. Radiologists determined subjective opinion scores for evaluating clinically acceptable image quality and then these were statistically processed in the t-Test method. Moreover the MPEG-4 decoded images were quantitatively analyzed by computing peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to objectively evaluate image quality. The bit-rate to maintain clinically acceptable image quality was up to 0.8Mbps. We successfully implemented the adaptive throughput or bit-rate relative to the image quality of ultrasound sequences used MPEG-4 that can be applied for diagnostic performance in real-time.

H.264/AVC와 같은 영상압축표준에서 움직임 추정 및 보상은 비디오 코딩 과정에서 가장 많은 연산량을 차지하는 중요한 처리과정이다. 영상 코덱에서 일반적으로 사용되는 전역 탐색 기법(Full Search)은 가장 좋은 화질을 보여주긴 하지만 매우 많은 계산량이 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 좋은 화질을 유지하면서도 계산량을 낮추기 위한 많은 고속 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 그 중 NPDS(Normaized Partial Distortion Search)는 개선된 블록 정합 오류 연산을 이용하여 계산량을 낮추면서도 전역 탐색 기법에 거의 근접한 화질을 얻어 낼 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 예측 벡터를 이용하여 초기에 최소 정합에러를 결정하고, 새로운 탐색 순서를 적용한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험결과에 따르면 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 전역탐색 알고리즘에 비해 비교적 화질 열화가 없고 계산량이 평균적으로 약 95% 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는, 복합 에러은닉 알고리즘을 이용하는 비디오 코더를 제안한다. 알고리즘은 먼저 정보숨김을 적용하여 손실된 블록의 움직임 벡터를 복원한다. 만일 은닉정보가 손실된 경우 손실된 블록의 움직임 벡터는 주위 정상 블록들의 움직임 벡터들의 적응적 선택을 이용하여, 손실된 블록의 새로운 움직임 벡터로 할당하고, OBMC (Overlapped Block Motion Compensation)를 통해 최종적으로 손실영역을 은닉하게 된다. 이 방법은 연속된 GOB의 손실에 있어서 좀 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법의 결과가 정보숨김만을 이용하거나. 주변 움직임 벡터만을 이용하는 기존의 방법에 비하여 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

We propose a novel algorithm for fractal video sequence coding, based on the circular prediction mapping (CPM), in which each range block is approximated by a domain block in the circularly previous frame. In our approach, the size of the domain block is set to be same as that of the range block for exploiting the high temporal correlation between the adjacent frames, while most other fractal coders use the domain block larger than the range block. Therefore the domain-range mapping in the CPM is similar to the block matching algorithm in the motion compensation techniques, and the advantages of this similarity are discussed. Also we show that the CPM can be combined with non-contractive inter-frame mapping (NCIM), improving the performance of the fractal sequence coder further. The computer simulation results on real image sequences demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides very promising performance at low bit-rate, ranging from 40 Kbps to 250 Kbps.

Motion estimation is one of the key components for high quality video coding. In this paper, a new motion estimation scheme for MPEG-like video coder is suggested. The proposed temporally adaptive motion estimation scheme consists of five functional blocks: Temporal subband analysis (TSBA), extraction of temporal information, scene change detection (SCD), picture type replacement (PTR), and temporally adapted block matching algorithm (TABMA). Here all the functional components are based on the temporal subband analysis. In this papre, we applied the analysis part of subband decompostion to the temporal axis of moving picture sequence, newly defined the temporal activity distribution (TAD) and average TAD, and proposed the temporally adapted block matching algorithm, the scene change detection algorithm and picture type replacement algorithm which employed the results of the temporal subband analysis. A new block matching algorithm TABMA is capable of controlling the block matching area. According to the temporal activity distribution of objects, it allocates the search areas nonuniformly. The proposed SCD and PTR can prevent unavailable motion prediction for abrupt scene changes. Computer simulation results show that the proposed motion estimation scheme improve the quality of reconstructed sequence and reduces the number of block matching trials to 40% of the numbers of trials in conventional methods. The TSBA based scene change detection algorithm can detect the abruptly changed scenes in the intentionally combined sequence of this experiment without additional computations.

Error resilience for image coding is an important component of multimedia communication system. Error resilience schemes address loss recovery from the compression perspective. Multiple description coding (MDC) is one of the error resilience techniques promising for robust video transmission. It is the way to achieve tradeoff description such as scalar quantization, correlating transform and the quantized frame expansion. In this paper, we consider Multiple Description Scalar Quantization (MDSQ) to wavelet domain. Conventional MDSQ schemes considered description with equal weights in each sub-bands. But, we can see that the each sub-bands is unequal contribution to whole image quality. Therefore, we experiment the multiple design MDSQ table to make probability of zero index high, which gives high efficiency in arithmetic symbol coder. We also compare our proposed method with the conventional methods and show improved performance in terms of redundancy-rate-distortion.

본 논문에서는 H.26L 동영상 압축 표준화 방식에서 블록화 및 링 현상을 동시에 제거하는 계산량이 감소된 일차원 loop filter를 제안한다. 새로운 일차원 정규화 완화 함수가 정의되고 두 개의 인접 방향에서 완화의 정도를 조절하는 정규화 매개변수는 부호화와 복호화 부에서 이용 가능한 코드화 블록 패턴과 양자화 스텝크기로 정의된다. 그러므로, 정규화 매개변수를 정의하고 압축된 동영상으로부터 복원된 영상을 얻기 위한 기타 정보는 필요하지 않다. 실험결과로부터 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 확인할 수 있었다.

We introduce an advanced terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (AT-DMB) system that overcomes the limitation of data transmission rates of T-DMB by doubling it with the same frequency bandwidth. In this letter, we propose an efficient algorithm which generates a scalable transport stream in AT-DMB by multiplexing certain types of elementary streams encoded using scalable video coding and an MPEG-surround audio coder for high-quality multimedia services.

The purpose of this study was to improve teachers' instruction and to identify the characteristics of interaction between teachers and children. Field excellent class instructions, which were known as the best lectures from the competition of an instruction contest in Busan, were video recorded and openly released on the internet. A teacher who won a prize for his excellent teaching at the contest demonstrated a Korean subject class on sixth grade elementary school curriculum. His instruction was analyzed by two coders based on the frame of Flanders' language interaction system. Inter-coder reliability was .967 from Scott's coefficient. From the results of the Flanders index, the major and minor instruction sequences were 4-8-2-5 and 6-0-5-4, and the teacher tended to interact with students by accepting feeling and ideas. These results could provide effective cues and information on how to to improve instruction.
