Speech processing system

Abstract: A speech processing system such as a variable frame length type vocoder and a pattern matching vocoder of the same type capable of improving the reproduced speech. Representative frames replacing a plurality of frames in a given section are developed from among the frames in the given frame, or the frames in the given frame and the final representative frame developed in the preceding section. First frames to be replaced by the representative frames, and second frames, located between the neighboring different representative frames, which are to be approximated by interpolation between the neighboring different representative frames, are determined under the condition the lengths of the first and second frames be variable. In the pattern matching vocoder, the representative frames are compared with reference pattern frames and the most similar reference pattern frame is selected on the basis of measure which is obtained by summing a time distortion and a quantum distortion caused by the replacement of the frames with the representative frame and the reference pattern frame.

Image quality enhancement circuit and method using inter-frame correlativity

Abstract: An image quality enhancement circuit and a method using inter-frame correlativity includes a first transfer function generator calculating histogram data corresponding to a gray level distribution with respect to an inputted luminance signal by frame unit to generate a first transfer function by using the histogram data, an inter-frame correlativity calculator calculating inter-frame correlation coefficients from the histogram data for at least one previous frame and a current frame to output inter-frame correlation information corresponding to the correlation coefficients, a transfer function adjustor selectively outputting the first transfer function based on the inter-frame correlation information outputted from the inter-frame correlativity calculator, and a mapper correcting and outputting the inputted luminance signal based on the transfer function outputted from the transfer function adjustor. The image quality enhancement circuit and method using inter-frame correlativity selectively apply a histogram equalization process based on the correlativity between consecutive frames, thereby enhancing an image quality.

An Efficient Priority-Based Reference Frame Selection Method for Fast Motion Estimation in H.264/AVC

Abstract: The H.264/AVC achieves higher coding performance than the previous video coding standards, such as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. In order to achieve this improved coding performance, H.264 adopts various advanced techniques including multiple reference frame motion estimation (MRF-ME), which requires very heavy encoding complexity in proportion to the number of reference frames. In this letter, we propose an efficient priority-based reference frame selection (PRFS) method to reduce the computational complexity. The PRFS method computes the priorities of all reference frames using spatial and temporal correlation of the reference frame index and motion vectors, and selects candidate reference frames to reduce the number of reference frames for each ME block. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the computational complexity of the MRF-ME and achieves similar coding performance to that of previous methods.
