three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...

We present a new approach to video sequence segmentation into individual shots. Unlike previous approaches, our technique segments the video sequence by combining two streams of information extracted from the visual track with audio track segmentation information. The visual streams of information are computed from the coarse data in a 3-D wavelet decomposition of the video track. They consist ...

Intra coding in High efficiency video coding (HEVC) can significantly improve the compression efficiency using 35 intra-prediction modes for 2N×2N (N is an integer number ranging from six to two) luma blocks. To find the luma block with the minimum rate-distortion, it must perform 11932 different rate-distortion cost calculations. Although this approach improves coding efficiency compared to th...

An information hiding algorithm for HEVC is proposed. For 33 kinds of directional prediction modes in the encoding process of 4×4 luminance blocks, intra prediction modes are mapped to the angle values. We are establishing a mapping relationship table between the angle differences and secret information. Modifying the intra prediction modes to embed secret information is based on the mapping. T...

Recently, there are many researches on location estimation using optical flow, which is a well-known distance estimation method without any infrastructure. However, since the calculation of optical flow needs high computational power, it cannot adapt to highspeed movement. Therefore, in this paper, we propose intra-frame optical flow, which is a new distance estimation method using an interlace...

Video segmentation has drawn increasing interest in multimedia applications. This paper proposes a novel joint space-time-range domain adaptive mean shift filter for video segmentation. In the proposed method, segmentation of moving/static objects/background is obtained through interframe mode-matching in consecutive frames and motion vector mode estimation. Newly appearing objects/regions in t...
