Abstract

A wavelet transform coding method that fulfills the requirements of HD-VCR(high definition video casstte recorder) for studio applications in proposed. A constant bit rate is achieved by a forward rate control technique whcih determins the quantizer stepsize based on the coding results fo the previous frame. We also propose a two-level coder that consists of both the IDC(independently decodable code) and the DDC(dependently decodable code). To minimize error propagation, the transformed coefficients are restructured into transform blocks which are represented by a tree structure. The result shows thta the proposed coding scheme produces better picture quality with block effects than that of DCT(discrete cosine transform) based coding schemes at the same compression ratio. The proposed method meets most of the requirements of HD-VCR.

웨이브렛 변환을 이용하여 방송용 HD-VCR(high definition video cassette recorder)의 요구조건들을 충족시키는 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 고정 비트율(constant bit rate)을 얻기 위하여, 앞 화면(frame)의 부호화 결과를 토대로 현재 화면의 양자화 간격을 결정하는 전망 제어 기법(forward rate control)과, 독립부호(IDC : independently decodable code) 와 종속부호(DOC: dependently dccodable code)로 구성되는 2단계 부호기(2 level codcr) 기법을 제안한다. 에러(error)의 확산을 최소화시키기 위하여, 전체 변환영상을 변환블록(transform block)으로 재구성하고, 각 변환 블록을 트리구조(tree structure)로 표현하여 독립적으로 부호화한다. 실험 결과 제안한 부호화 기법은 기존의 DCT(discrete cosine transform)를 사용한 부호화 기법 보다 같은 압축률에서 블록현상(block effect)이 없는 우수한 화질을 나타냈다. 제안한 전방 제어 기법과, 2단계 부호기를 이용하여 매우 정교한 비트량 제어(rate control)를 구현하였다.
