Abstract

Distributed video coding technique(DVC) is needed for several applications with low bit rate or low encoding resources. However, since conventional DVC schemes have performance limitations and so as one of the several methods to overcome this problem and to improve the coding efficiency, DVC scheme with the moving information of side information has been developed. Based on this system, in this paper, an efficient reliability estimation is introduced to evaluate the blocks composing of side information and send these blocks location to the encoder side. Then, these enable the encoder to selectively encode and to improve the coding performance. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme performs better than the conventional coding scheme.

낮은 채널 전송율을 갖거나 낮은 부호화 자원을 지원하는 응용을 위해 분산 비디오 부호화 기법이 요구된다. 그러나 기존의 분산 비디오 부호화 기법에 대한 성능제약을 갖고 있으며, 이를 극복하고 부호화 효율을 개선하기 위한 방법으로서 복호화기에서 보조정보의 움직임 정보를 부호화기측으로 전송하는 방법을 시도하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 움직임 정보를 부호화기측으로 전송하는 방식을 갖는 시스템에서 부호화 효율을 개선하기 위해 보조정보의 비신뢰 블록을 추출하고 이 추출된 블록들에 대한 위치정보를 전송하는 방식을 제안한다. 이를 위해 보조정보를 구성하는 블록단위에 대하여 효과적인 비신뢰성을 측정하는 방식을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 기존의 방식에 비해 더욱 부호화 효율을 개선시킬 수 있음을 보인다.
