摘要:
A system of detecting a motion vector for an object block in a current frame of an orthogonally transformed video with respect to a stored reference frame. The motion victor is detected by: extracting a predetermined pattern of lower frequency components from the object block; orthogonally inverse transform the extracted lower frequency components within the pattern to yield the pattern of pixel data; searching the reference frame for a block having a maximum correlation with the pattern of pixel data; and calculating the motion vector from the object block to the block having a maximum correlation. As an orthogonal transform, DCT (discrete cosine transform) is preferable. Creating a row and a column image comprising sums obtained by adding all the pixels in each column and each row of the object block and applying the above searching and calculating process to the row and the column image enables the motion vector detection from a normal or noncompressed video.
摘要:
The method involves performing intra frame coding of a non-compressed picture frame to produce one compresses picture frame which is then decoded to produce one reference picture frame. Inter frame coding is performed between the non-compresses picture frame and another reference picture frame to produce another compressed picture frame (615). The frame (615) is decoded to produce a third reference picture frame. An independent claim is also included for a stepwise image quality complementary type coding apparatus.
摘要:
A method for transcoding a first data sequence generated by a first moving picture coding system to a second data sequence generated by a second moving picture coding system. The method comprises recording a code amount of a coding-unit in reading data of the coding-unit from said first data sequence; determining a target value of said generated code amount of said second data sequence on a coding-unit basis, said target value being obtained by multiplying a recorded code amount by a factor; and performing a rate control so that said generated code amount of said second data sequence comes close to said target value in generating said second data sequence from said data of the coding-unit with said second moving picture coding system, wherein a ratio of code amounts, on the coding-unit basis, of data composing said first data sequence is made close to a ratio of code amounts, on the coding-unit basis, of data composing said second data sequence corresponding to said first data sequence.

摘要:
A video coding method and apparatus realize that a calculation amount required to perform a converting process operation of compression formats can be reduced, and also deterioration in an image quality, which is caused by this compression format converting process operation, can be reduced. A video converting unit includes added information processing means for using added information contained in an input bit stream in coding operation. This added information involves a motion vector, a motion prediction difference signal, a quadrature converting coefficient, and a quantizing value.

A system is arranged by a service providing apparatus (109) for storing a plurality of contents data (110) and capable of transmitting the contents data via network interfaces (116a/116b) and a communication path (112); and also a service relaying apparatus (101) for producing compressed moving picture data having a high image quality from still picture data, and capable of transmitting the compressed moving picture data via network interfaces (115a/115b) and another communication path (111) to a reproducing terminal (106). As a result, desirable contents data can be displayed by the reproducing terminal which owns a capability of displaying the compressed moving picture data, but does not own such a capability of displaying the desirable contents data.
摘要:
A video signai conversion apparatus converts DV-format encoded compressed video data to MPEG format data, by utilizing motion flag information contained in the DV data which specifies for each of respective DCT blocks whether interlaced-frame mode DCT processing or progressive-field mode DCT processing has been applied to the block when executing DV encoding. The motion flag information can be used by a procesing mode selection section (16) to determine various MPEG encoding modes to be applied in units of MPEG macroblocks, such as selecting respective macroblocks to be subjected to interlaced-frame mode DCT processing by an orthogonal transform processing section (17) when the set of motion flags corresponding to the blocks constituting that macroblock are judged to indicate no substantial amount of motion for the macroblock, and to select progressive-field mode DCT processing when a substantial amount of motion is judged to exist. The amount of MPEG processing can thereby be readily reduced, without deterioration of image quality.
