Abstract:
Provided are an analysis method and system for audience rating and advertisement effects based on viewing behavior recognition including a method of recognizing a viewer on the basis of image recognition through a camera and efficiently collecting data and a method of transmitting collected data on the basis of viewer recognition to an audience rating and advertisement effect measurement server. The present invention includes a viewing behavior measurement device configured to receive a viewer image obtained by imaging one or more viewers who are viewing broadcast content, recognize the one or more viewers from the received viewer image to generate viewing behavior information, and deliver the generated viewing behavior information, and an advertisement effect measurement server configured to analyze an advertisement effect for each viewer on the basis of the received viewing behavior information and generate and deliver an advertisement effect measurement result.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for encoding/decoding a moving picture based on adaptive scanning. The moving picture apparatus and method can increase a compression rate based on adaptive scanning by performing intra prediction onto blocks of a predetermined size, and scanning coefficients acquired from Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) of a residue signal and quantization differently according to the intra prediction mode. The moving picture encoding apparatus includes: a mode selector for selecting and outputting a prediction mode; a predictor for predicting pixel values of pixels to be encoded of an input video based on the prediction mode to thereby output a residue signal block; a transform/quantization unit for performing DCT onto the residue signal block and quantizing the transformed residue signal block; and an encoder for adaptively scanning and encoding the quantized residue signal block based on the prediction mode.
