In this paper, we study the characteristics of parameters which are related to performance of MCTF which is a key technique for wavelet-based scalable video coding, and propose an improved MCTF method. The proposed MCTF method adopts the motion estimation of which motion vector field is distributed more uniformly using variable block sizes. By using the proposed method, the decomposition performance of temporal filter is improved, and the energy in high-frequency frames is reduced. It can help the entropy coder to generate lower bitrate. From simulation results, we verify the decomposed energy on high-frequency frame using the proposed method is reduced by 25.86% at the most in terms of variance of the high-frequency frame.

Digital watermarking is to embed imperceptible mark into image, video, audio, and text data to prevent the illegal copy of multimedia data. arbitrary modification, and also illegal sales of the copies without agreement of copyright ownership. In this paper, we study for the embedding and extraction of watermark key using wavelet in the luminance signal in order to implement the system to protect the copyright for image MPEG. First, the original image is analyzed into frequency domain by discrete wavelet transform. The RSA(Rivest, Shamir, Aldeman) public key of the coded target is RUN parameter of VLD(variable length coding). Because the high relationship among the adjacent RUN parameters effect the whole image, it prevents non-authorizer not to possess private key from behaving illegally. The Results show that the proposed method provides better moving picture and the distortion more key of insert than direct coded method on low-frequency domain based DCT.

In this paper, we propose a progressive transmission of a video using a 2$\times$2$\times$2 DCT First of all, the video data is transformed into multiresolution represented video data using a 2$\times$2$\times$2 DCT. Then. it is represented by a 3-D EZT(Embedded Zero Tree) coding fur the progressive transmission with a bit-rate scalability. The proposed progressive transmission algorithm needs much less computations and buffer memories than the higher-order convolution based wavelet filter. Also, since the 2$\times$2$\times$2 DCT requires independent local computations, parallel processing can be applied.

Video watermarking technologies are classified into types of four kinds. The first type is to embed the watermark into a raw video signal and to code the watermarked video signal. Most of video watermarking technologies fall into the category of this type. The second type is to apply watermarking to the coding process, such as block DCT and quantization. The third is to directly embed the watermark into the compressed bitstream itself. Generally, it is referred as labelling rather than watermarking. Finally, the fourth is to embed the water mark into MPEG motion vector. This type has the difficulty in real-time process because of the high complexity and has the blocking effects because of DCT-based on coder. In this paper, we proposed the digital video watermarking that embed the watermark in SPIHT video code for I-frame using motion vector analysis. This method can remove the blocking effect occurred at the DCT-based on coder and obtain video data that has progressive transmission property. The proposed method is to select the region for the watermark embedding in I frame using motion vector estimated from the previous P or B frame. And then, it is to perform DWT and embed the watermark based on HVS into the wavelet coefficients in the same subband of DWT as the motion vector direction. Finally, the watermarked video bitstream is obtained by the SPIHT coder. The experimental results verified that the proposed method has the invisibility from the objective and subjective image quality and the robustness against the various SPIHT compression and MPEG re-code.

본 논문에서는, 이산 웨이블릿 변환(DWT: discrete wavelet transform)에 기초한 저속 비트율 비디오 코딩 방법의 알고리즘으로써, PZTACC 방법을 제안한다. 접근 방법은 양자화된 웨이블릿 계수들이 웨이블릿 서브밴드 구조내에서 중복성을 활용하는 메커니즘에 의해서 전처리 된다면 코딩 절차가 더욱 효과적으로 작용하여 나타난다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 partitioning, Zero-Tree aggregation, 조건적 코딩의 개념들을 기초로 하는 프리코딩 기법의 새로운 구조를 소개한다. 복원된 비디오의 주관적인 성능은 일반적으로 MPEG4의 VM 구현으로부터 획득된 성능(1.5 dB PSNR 이상)보다 우수하다. 게다가, 인트라프레임모드에 제한되어 있을 때, 제안된 코딩 알고리즘은 정지영상 압축에 대하여 최고로 보고되는 결과를 산출한다.

This paper presents an effective motion estimation to improve the performance of the motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) which is a core part of the wavelet-based scalable video coding. The proposed scheme makes the motion vector field uniform by the modified median operation and the search strategies using adjacent motion vectors, in order to enhance the pixel connectivity which is significantly relevant to the performance of the MCTF. Moreover, the motion estimation with variable block sizes that reflects the features of frames is introduced for further correlation improvement of the motion vector field. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method reduces the decomposed energy on the temporal high frequency subband frame up to 30.33% in terms of variance compared to the case of the full search with fixed block sizes.

In this paper, we propose a new quadtree coding a1gorithm to improve the performance of the old one. The new algorithm can process any frame of size in standard and reduce encoding and decoding time by decreasing computational load. It also improves the image quality comparing with any old quantizer based on quadtree and zerotree structure. In order for the new algorithm to be applied for real video codec, we analyze the statistical characteristics of coefficients of differential image and add a function that makes It deal with an arbitrary size of image by using new technique while the old one process by block unit. We can also improve the image quality by scaling the coefficient's value from a differential image. By comparing the performance of the new algorithm with quadtree and SPIHT, it Is shown that PSNR is improved, that the computational load is not reduced in encoding and decoding.

In this work, an efficient lifting implementation of invertible deinterlacing is proposed. The invertible deinterlacing is a technique developed for intra-frame-based video coding as a preprocessing. Unlike the conventional deinterlacing, it preserves the sampling density and has the invertibility. For a special selection of filters, it is shown that the deinterlacing can be implemented efficiently by an in-place computation. It is also shown that the deinterlacing can be combined with the lifting discrete wavelet transform (BWT) employed in JPEG2000. A bit modification of the original lifting DWT is shown to provide the simultaneous implementation of deinterlacing. This fact makes the proposed technique attractive for the application to Motion-JPEG2000. The inverse transform and the reversible lifting implementation are also discussed.

기존에 MPEG-1, 2나 H.261/263 등에 사용되고있는 움직임 예측 방법은 블록 기반의 코딩 방식으로 단순히 영상의 움직임을 선형 모델로 간주하고 영상을 일정한 크기의 사각형으로 나누어, 각 사각형이 어느 곳으로 이동하는지를 추정하는 방식이었다. 그러나 이러한 방식은 블록 당 하나의 움직임 벡터만으로 처리하기 때문에 블록 내의 복잡한 움직임은 추정할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라, 보다 일반적인 움직임인 회전, 뒤틀림, 확대, 축소 등을 추정할 수 없다. 또한, 영상의 내용에 상관없이 일정한 크기의 블록으로 나누어 처리하기 때문에 주어진 영상에 최적화된 움직임 추정을 수행하기가 어렵다. 특히 저속 비트율에서는 이러한 점들이 크게 부각된다. 이러한 점들을 극복하기 위해서 여기에서는 삼각형 메쉬를 이용한 공간 변환 방법을 이용하였다. 여기에 영상을 영상에 따라 적응적으로 분해하여 처리할 수 있는 웨이브렛 패킷 부호화를 사용하여 에너지가 많고 적음에 따라 초기 제어점의 격자를 조절하여 좀 더 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있다.

영역의 수와 윤곽선의 길이는 세그멘테이션 기반의 움직임 보상된 비디오 코딩에서 두 가지의 기본적인 제약사항이다. 이 논문에서 제안하는 코딩 스킴은 영역의 수를 축소하는 것에 초점을 맞추고, 윤곽성 코딩, 그리고 치환된 프레임 차이(DFD)의 압축에 초점을 맞춘다. 제안된 스킴의 가장 중요한 특징 중의 하나는 형태적인 필터를 기반으로 하는 spatio-temporal 단순성 알고리즘이고, 그것들과 함께 이미지는 작은 수의 영역으로 나누어질 수 있다. 이 스킴의 매우 중요한 특성은 세그멘테이션 맵 샘플링 기법으로, 그것은 윤곽선 길이를 매우 작은 복원 에러에 비례하여 약 50%까지 줄인다. 실험적인 결과는, 높은 압축 비율에 대하여 매우 작은 코딩 에러를 보여주었다.
