This paper proposes an information hiding algorithm using channel coding technique which can be used to detect transmission errors and to protect copyright for MPEG-2 video The watermark signal is generated by applying copyright information of video data to a convolutional encoder, and the signal is embedded into macro blocks in every frame while encoding to MPEG-2 video stream In the decoder, the embedded signal is detected from macro blocks in every frame, and the detected signal is used to localize transmission errors in the video stream. The detected signal can also be used to claim ownership of the video data by decoding it to the copyright Information. In this stage, errors in the detected watermark signal can be corrected by channel decoder. The 3 video sequences which consist of 300 frames each are applied to the proposed MPEG-2 codec. Experimental results show that the proposed method can detect transmission errors in the video stream while decoding and it can also reconstruct copyright information more correctly than the conventional method.

Distributed video coding is a new video coding paradigm based on Slepian-Wolf and Wyner-Ziv's information theory Distributed video coding whose decoder exploits side information transfers its computational burden from encoder to decoder, so that encoding with light computational power can be realized. RD performance is superior than that of standard video coding without motion compensation process but still has a gap with that of coding with motion compensation process. This parer introduces basic theory of distributed video coding and its structure and then shows RD performances of DVCs whose coding style is different from each other and of a DVC as a spatial scalable video coder.

Although frame-based MPEG-4 video services have been successfully deployed since 2000, MPEG-4 video coding is now facing great competition in becoming a dominant player in the market. Object-based coding is one of the key functionalities of MPEG-4 video coding. Real-time object-based video encoding is also important for multimedia broadcasting for the near future. Object-based video services using MPEG-4 have not yet made a successful debut due to several reasons. One of the critical problems is the coding complexity of object-based video coding over frame-based video coding. Since a video object is described with an arbitrary shape, the bitstream contains not only motion and texture data but also shape data. This has introduced additional complexity to the decoder side as well as to the encoder side. In this paper, we have analyzed the current MPEG-4 video encoding tools and proposed efficient coding technologies that reduce the complexity of the encoder. Using the proposed coding schemes, we have obtained a 56 percent reduction in shape-coding complexity over the MPEG-4 video reference software (Microsoft version, 2000 edition).

MPEG-4 visual coding is an object-based system. The current video coding standards, H.261, MPEG-1, and MPEG-2 encode frame by frame. On the other hand, MPEG-4 separately encodes several objects, such as video objects and audio objects, in the same frame. Each transmitted object is decoded and composed in one frame. Shape coding is a process of coding visual objects in a frame. In this paper we present conformance test method for MPEG-4 shape decoders. This paper reviews the basic shape decoding standard, and proposes conformance test methods for BAB type decoder, and CAE decoder for intra and inter VOPs. Our test generates all possible cases of shape motion vector difference and context.

In this paper, we report on a set of new algorithms to realize a nonlinear compressed-domain video/audio editor that overcomes various realization problems. For efficiency, the underlying algorithm, which uses a central data structure in the form of doubled linked lists, performs soft edits of cut and paste (which, in turn, involves soft implementations of frame type conversion) and addresses problems relating to video/audio synchronization and random access, and decoder buffer control.

Palplus system is a new European 16:9 wide screen TV format which has a full compatibility with standard PAL and the system has a advantage of improving picture quality by the reduction of cross color and cross luminance as well as making use of the full horizontal luminance bandwidth of the PAL system. We implemented European 16:9 PALplus Digital decoder(625/50/2:1) system using SVP(Serial Video Processor) IC and discrete helper demodulator.

This paper describes the design of a variable rate QPSK demodulator for digital satellite TV system. This true variable-rate demodulator employs a unique architecture to realize an all digital synchronization and detection algorithm. Data-flow based design approach enabled a seamless transition from high level design optimization to physical layout. The demodulator has been integrated with Viterbi decoder, de-interleaver, and Ree-Solomon decoder to make a single chip Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) receiver. The receiver IC has been fabricated with a 0.5mm CMOS TLM process and proved fully functional in a real-world set-up.

This paper proposes a high-performance architecture of the H.264 intra prediction circuit. The proposed architecture uses the 4-input and 2-input common computation units and common registers for fast and efficient prediction operations. It avoids excessive power consumption by the efficient control of the external and internal memories. The implemented circuit based on the proposed architecture can process more than 60 HD ($1,920{\times}1,088$) image frames per second at the maximum operating frequency of 101 MHz by using 130 nm standard cell library.

The main ideas of hybrid video coding methods are to reduce the spatial and temporal redundancy for efficient data compression. If compressed video stream is transmitted through the error-prone channel, bitstream can be critically damaged and the spatio-temporal error propagates through successive frames at the decoder because of drift noise in the references between encoder and decoder. In this paper, I propose the lagrangian multiplier selection method in the error-prone environment. Finally, it is shown that the performance comparisons of the R-D optimized mode decision are made against the conventional method and simulation results are given in the following.
