Abstract: A method for measuring an real-time image complexity of an image processed for each macroblock based on a frame includes: identifying a state of a preset value among header bits of information processed for each macroblock in a preceding frame; identifying a state of the preset value among header bits of information processed for each macroblock up to a preceding frame; and detecting image complexity of a current frame through comparison of the identified states.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a video encoding data rate in real-time in order to minimize performance deterioration, even when a scene change has occurred in an application field having a small number of available bits due to a low bit rate and a high frame rate. The method includes: a first step of determining whether scene change has occurred in a current frame; a second step of determining whether a number of current available bits is more than a preset reference when it is determined that the scene change has occurred; and a third step of adjusting a Quantization Parameter (QP) according to a first preset condition when it is determined that the number of current available bits is more than that preset reference. An apparatus includes an encoder QP controller having a QP module for adjusting the QP.

Abstract: A method of detecting scene conversion in real time for controlling a video encoding data rate, includes: estimating PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) of a current frame by using error information between the current frame and the previous frame(a reference frame); determining whether the estimated PSNR escapes a predetermined reference value; and considering that the scene conversion is performed in the current frame when the estimated PSNR escapes the predetermined reference value.

Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based synchronization detection apparatus including a 2n level quantizing unit quantizing received data samples into levels of 2n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to zero (0), and a delaying unit delaying the data samples quantized through the 2n level quantizing unit by a predetermined number of clocks and outputting data indicative thereof. A shifting unit shifts the output data samples of the 2n level quantizing unit by an amount corresponding to an exponent of the output data of the delaying unit and a peak detecting unit detects a peak value from sums of outputs from the shifting unit.

Abstract: There is disclosed an adaptive de-interlacing method and apparatus based on a phase corrected field of an input interlaced picture signal, and a recording medium storing computer programs for executing the method. The method includes: generating a phase corrected kth field by compensating a phase of the kth field of the input interlaced picture signal by 1 line frequency; calculating a first motion vector between the phase corrected kth field and the (k?1)th field of the interlaced picture signal; calculating a second motion vector between the (k?1)th field and the (k+1)th field of the interlaced picture signal; and determining whether there is motion of the input picture based on the first and second motion vector values, and generating a kth progressive frame based on the result and the kth field. Thus, a serration phenomenon is minimized after de-interlacing by more exactly detecting the motion information of a corresponding inserted field.

Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based synchronization detection apparatus includes an input register that stores data, a shifter that shifts the data from the input register based on the exponent of a quantized correlation coefficient, an adder that sums the shifted data, and a peak detector that determines the peak value from among the summed shifted data. The OFDM-based synchronization detection method involves quantizing correlation coefficients for synchronization detection into 2n-level quantized correlation coefficients (n is an integer not less than 0), shifting input data using the 2n-level quantized correlation coefficients, and detecting synchronization using a shifting result.

Abstract: A ringing area detector classifies the input image into two regions: a mosquito noise region (i.e. filtering region) and a non-mosquito noise region (i.e. non-filtering region), and uses this classification information to adaptively remove the mosquito noise in a mosquito noise reduction system. The mosquito noise reduction system includes a ringing area detector, a local noise power estimator, a smoothing filter, and a mixer. The ringing area detector includes an edge detector, a near edge detector, a texture detector, and a filtering region decision block. The ringing detection block detects the ringing area where the smoothing filter is to be applied. The local noise power estimator controls the filter strength of the smoothing filter. The smoothing filter smoothes the input image. The mixer mixes the smoothed image and the original image properly based on the region information from the ringing area detection block.

Abstract: A symbol combining method in a Rake receiver, which relates to a method for combining the demodulated multi-path signals in a demodulation process of a code division multiple access communication system. The symbol combining method, a Rake receiver using the symbol combining method and a method for driving the Rake receiver, remarkably reduce a hardware complexity of a FIFO register used to regulate a timing synchronization of each finger in Rake receiver by using a new algorithm in a combining process when a CDMA communication system combines a plurality of multi-path signals therebetween. Whereas a conventional combining algorithm uses an individual FIFO register every finger so as to adjust a timing synchronization of each symbol before combining a demodulated symbol, the inventive combining algorithm performs a symbol combining operation as well as a timing synchronization of a symbol at the same time, and performs a combining action by using only one FIFO register irrespective of the number of fingers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multiple access method for sharing pseudo-noise code by time division transmission in wireless telemetry system, which transmits same time information from a CU (Control Unit) to all RT (Remote Terminal), and each RT transmits data by time division using the time information provided by the CU. Also, each RT decides the respective transmission time using the time information provided by the CU. After each RT transmits data by time division, if the transmitted data has an error, each RT transmits data by time division in repsonse to the retransmission request of the CU.
