Abstract

The DVC (Distributed Video Coding) provides a theoretical basis for the implementation of light video encoder. Conventionally, lots of studies have been focused on the codec scheme of Stanford University that has a feedback channel to control the bit rate finely. However, the codec scheme can not evaluate the qualities of the frames reconstructed by the received parity bits at the decoder side. This paper presents an efficient method of estimating distortion by correcting the virtual channel noises in side information and then facilitating the measurements of the visual qualities. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method is very efficient in estimating the visual qualities of the reconstructed WZ frames.

분산 비디오 부호화기법은 초경량의 비디오 부호화기법에 대한 이론적인 근거를 제공하고 있다. 기존에 많이 연구되어온 분산 비디오 부호화기법은 주로 스탠포드 대학교의 연구에 기초하고 있으며, 피드백 채널을 통하여 비트율을 정교하게 제어하는 방법을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 복호화기에서 수신된 패리티 비트에 의해 복원된 각 프레임의 품질에 대한 평가하는 방법은 제시되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 보조정보에 있는 가상채널잡음을 보정함으로써 왜곡크기를 예측하고 또한 복원된 영상의 화질측정을 손쉽게 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 다수의 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법은 복원된 프레임의 왜곡을 효과적으로 예측할 수 있음을 보인다.
