Research Experience

09/2003~01/2004 Advisor: Liang-Gee Chen

Motion Compensated De-Interlacing

Develop an algorithm that performs motion estimation on two same-parity fields, and a mode

decision module is used to switch to intra-field interpolation when the block is not suitable for MC.

The results show high-quality, jag-free, and flicker-free images because of taking the characteristics

of interlaced video into consideration.

02/2004~01/2005 Advisor: Homer. H. Chen

MPEG-2 to H.264 Transcoding

Propose a transform-domain approach of converting an MPEG-2 bitstream into an H.264 bitstream.

Transform-kernel conversion is combined with the down-sampling process to speed up the

transcoding. Also, an equivalent operation of intra-prediction in the transform domain is derived.

01/2005~07/2005 Advisor: Homer. H. Chen

Rounding Operation in the Transform Domain

Develop an algorithm that minimizes the error caused by the mismatch between the spatial-domain

and the transform-domain approaches. The drift error propagated through a series of inter-coded

frames is minimized, and thus mage quality is preserved. This algorithm can be applied to any

transform-domain manipulation function as long as the rounding operation is presented in its

counterpart in the spatial domain.

02/2005~present Advisor: Homer. H. Chen

Rate Control for Video Transcoding

With the information from the input bitstream, a novel rate-quantization model is developed based

on the complexity ratio between the input and the output bitstream. This model provides more

accurate QP determination given a target bitrate.

Course Projects

Introduction to Digital Signal Processing JPEG Encoder/Decoder

Implement a complete baseline profile JPEG Encoder and Decoder with C++.

Digital Speech Processing Adaptive Time Segmentation for Speech Enhancement

Implement an adaptive time segmentation technique, which is used to accurately estimate noisy
