Abstract

Recently, lots of research works have been actively focused on the DVC (Distributed Video Coding) techniques which provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of light video encoder. However, most of these studies have showed poorer performances than the conventional standard video coding schemes such as MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4, H.264 etc. In order to overcome the performance limits of the conventional approaches, several channel-divided distributed video coding schemes have been designed in such a way that some information are obtained while generating side information at decoder side and then these are provided to the encoder side, resulting in channel-divided video coding scheme. In this paper, the interpolation scheme by weighted sum of multiple motion-compensated interpolation frames is introduced and a new channel-divided DVC scheme is designed to effectively describe noisy channels based on the motion vector and its matching characteristics. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method performs better than the conventional methods at low bit-rate and keeps the reconstructed visual quality constantly.

초경량 비디오 부호화기에 대한 이론적인 근거를 제공하는 분산 비디오 부호화기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 기존에 많이 연구되어온 분산 비디오 부호화기법은 기존의 국제 표준의 비디오 부호화기에 비해 성능이 우수하지 못한 특징을 갖는다. 이러한 성능 제한을 극복하기 위해 복호기에서 보조정보를 생성하는 과정에서 얻어지는 정보를 이용하여 피드백하는 채널 분리형 분산 비디오 부호화기법에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 복호기에서 보조정보를 생성하는 과정에서 적응적 가중치 기반의 움직임 보상 보간을 수행하고, 보상된 블록의 움직임 벡터 및 정합 특성을 분석하여 채널 분리하는 방법을 도입함으로써 효과적으로 채널을 구성 방안을 제안한다. 다수의 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법은 기존방식에 비해 낮은 비트율에서 우수한 성능을 보임과 동시에 일정한 화질을 제공할 수 있음을 보인다.
