Abstract

Recently, as one of several methods to improve the performance of DVC(Distributed Video Coding) system, many research works are focusing on the iterative refinement of side information. Most of the conventional techniques are mainly based on the relationship between the reconstruction level and side information, or the vector median filtering of motion vectors, but, their performance improvements are restricted. In order to overcome the performance limit of the conventional schemes, in this paper, a side information generation scheme is designed by measuring the block-cost estimation. Then, by adaptively selecting the compensation mode using the received bit-plane information, we propose a block-adaptive iterative refinement which is efficient for non-symmetric moving objects. Computer simulations show that, by using the proposed refinement method, the performance can be improved up to 0.2 dB in rate-distortion.

분산 비디오 부호화기법(DVC: Distributed Video Coding)의 성능을 개선하기 위한 한 가지의 방법으로서 보조정보에 대한 반복적인 보정기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 대표적인 반복적인 보정기법으로서 복원 레벨과 보조정보 사이의 관계를 이용한 기법 또는, 움직임 벡터의 필터링에 기초한 보정기법이 제시하고 있으나 성능 개선은 제한적이다. 기존 방식들의 성능 제한을 극복하기 위해, 본 논문에서는, 먼저, 초기의 보조정보 생성 시에 블록별 비용을 측정하여 적응적 움직임 보상을 수행한다. 그리고 수신되는 비트 플레인 정보를 이용하여 블록별 적응적 예측 모드를 사용함으로써 비대칭적인 물체의 움직임 보상에 효과적인 반복적인 보정기법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안된 보정기법을 사용함으로써 최대 0.2 dB이상의 성능을 개선함을 보인다.
