Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting a scene change in real time in order to control a moving-picture encoding data rate, the method including: dividing a current frame into a plurality of regions, and calculating a dissimilarity metric (DM) of each divided region; determining if the dissimilarity metric of each divided region is beyond a preset reference value; calculating the number of regions, the dissimilarity metric of which is beyond the preset value, in the current frame; and determining that a scene change occurs in the current frame, when the number of regions, the dissimilarity metric of which is beyond the reference preset value, is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value.

Abstract: MAC (Media Access Control) for an EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network system) defined in an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.3ah EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) standard is implemented using general MAC based on an IEEE 802.3 standard. LLID (Logical Link ID) information is inserted at a predetermined position of a frame outside its preamble and the frame containing the LLID information is transferred to a higher layer so that general MAC can be used as MAC for the EPON system. A physical layer of the EPON system contains LLID information within a preamble and transfers the preamble containing the LLID information. An RS (Reconciliation Sublayer) configures a new Ethernet frame by inserting the LLID information at a predetermined position of the Ethernet frame outside the preamble. The RS transfers the new Ethernet frame to a higher data link layer of the EPON system. The data link layer transfers the new Ethernet frame containing the LLID information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling bit rates in consideration of wireless channel environment by an apparatus that transmits and receives moving picture encoding data via a wireless network. The apparatus for transmitting/receiving data through a wireless communication network connected to the apparatus including a channel state analyzing unit for analyzing a wireless channel environment, an encoding controller for generating control information containing information about a quantization parameter, skip or non-skip of frames indication, frame type indication, and use or non-use of an Error Resilient Tool (ERT) indication, in consideration of an analyzation result received from the channel state analyzing unit, a moving picture encoding unit for encoding incoming moving picture data, based on the control information received from the encoding controller; and a data transmitting/receiving unit for transferring the encoded moving picture data through the wireless channel to an exterior.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining illumination compensation in a multi view video coding. The method includes determining when a current block performing illumination compensation is in a B skip mode and deriving a predicted illumination compensation value of the current block by using information regarding neighbor blocks of the current block and when the derived predicted illumination compensation value is not determining, setting the current block not to perform the illumination compensation; and when the derived predicted illumination compensation value is determining, setting the current block to perform the illumination compensation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for illumination compensation in a multi view video coding. The method includes deriving a predicted illumination compensation value of the current block by using information on neighbor blocks of the current block when a current block performing illumination compensation is in a skip mode; setting the current block not to perform the illumination compensation when the derived predicted illumination compensation value is 0 and setting the current block to perform the illumination compensation when the derived predicted illumination compensation value is not 0.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of storing scene comprising a three-dimensional image, which has been generated by converting an image input an apparatus supporting photographing of the three-dimensional image, into a recording medium.

Abstract: A cross-layer optimization method for controlling a bit rate of a video coder/decoder (codec) in video data transmission for wireless devices such as a wireless broadband (WiBro) system terminal that adapts to changing transmission/reception characteristics and usage. The method typically includes checking, by a sender, radio channel state information of a sender side and a receiver side; determining, by the sender, a transmission bit rate of a video codec by using the radio channel state information of the sender side; and adjusting, by the sender, the transmission bit rate of the video codec by using the radio channel state information of the receiver side when a communication network used by a receiver typically based on the type of a communication network being used by the sender.

Abstract: A mobile communication device is provided. The mobile communication device includes a first body including a display, a second body foldably connected to the first body, a slider body slidably connected to the second body, the slider body having at least one key that is exposed when the slider body is moved into an open position, and a camera arranged at the second body, the camera being exposed when the slider body is moved into the open position. A method for controlling the same is also provided. The method includes executing a first mode when the first body and second body foldably connected to each other are unfolded, and executing a second mode other than the first mode when a slider body slidably coupled to the second body is moved.
