| Abstract | This paper proposes the lossless discrete wavelet transform (DWT) transcoder compatible to standard lossy coding based on the 9/7 DWT in JPEG2000 (JP2K) for three dimensions (3D) image. The proposed transcoder is applied by re-lifting the integer coding 9/7 DWT and modifying the position of some coefficients. This paper has confirmed that the transcoding between the standard lossless coder 5/3 DWT and the standard lossy decoder 9/7 DWT is not compatible. Since, proposed method presents integer coding 9/7 DWT and more 2 re-lifted integer coding 9/7 DWT to improve the compatibility with standard lossy DWT. The results show that all proposed transcoders are compatible with lossy DWT for 3D image by improving from the PSNR 21.90 up to 57.0 dB. |

| Abstract | In this paper, we experimented the subjective evaluation for 3D CG image including the gray scale region with 8 viewpoints parallax barrier method, and we analyzed this result statistically.
Next, we measured about the relation between the luminance change and the color difference by using S-CIELAB color space and CIEDE2000.
As a result, we obtained knowledge about the relation among the coded image quality, the contrast enhancement, and gray scale. |

| Abstract | SHVC is the scalability extension of the video compression standard high efficiency video coding (HEVC). It encodes the video in different layers, called base layer (BL) and enhancement layer (EL). The additional interlayer inter prediction (ILIP) mode employed in EL increases the complexity. This paper proposes a fast mode selection method for EL in all intra spatial SHVC. The rate distortion cost (RD-cost) difference between intra prediction and ILIP in upper coding unit (CU) depth is calculated as a prejudgment condition to select the prediction mode in lower CU depth. The proposed method can achieve 52.65% and 58.00% encoding time saving for 1.5x and 2x sequences respectively with negligible BD-rate increase compared with SHM-8.0. Compared with related work, this paper can get over 30% time saving increase on average. |
