摘要:
A method of encoding a sequence of frames using 3-D decomposition including temporal filtering and using intra-frame prediction/interpolation, comprises (a) a first stage of intra-prediction/interpolation in which any neighbouring blocks may be used; (b) evaluating the intra-prediction/interpolation of step (a) for each block to identify blocks for intra-frame prediction; (c) a second stage of intra-prediction/interpolation wherein blocks identified in step (b) are not used for intra-prediction/interpolation of other blocks.
摘要:
A method of encoding and decoding a sequence of frames uses 3-D subband decomposition involving temporal filtering. Under certain conditions, for at least one pixel, the value of said pixel is approximated using one or more pixel values in the same frame.

A method of representing a group of images comprises determining the values of one or more dominant colors for the group of images and deriving a dominant color representation expressing the group of images in terms of one or more of said dominant color values.

A method of deriving replacement block information, such as a replacement motion vector, for a lost or damaged image block in scalable video coding comprises combining information about neighbouring block information in at least the current layer and the corresponding and/or neighbouring blocks in at least one other layer, to derive said replacement block information.

摘要:
A method of representing motion of an object appearing in a sequence of images comprises deriving for each image a set of representative points representing the location of the object, deriving an approximate function representing the trajectory of a representative point in two or more of said sequence of images, and calculating an error value for said approximate function for the representative point for an image, characterised in that the error value is based on the difference between the area of the object as represented by the representative point and the area of the object with the representative point replaced by the respective approximate function value.
摘要:
A method of approximating a motion vector for an image block comprises deriving a first set of vectors from motion vectors of neighbouring blocks in the same frame and the corresponding block and its neighbouring blocks in one or more preceding and/or subsequent frames, deriving a set of candidate vectors from one or more of motion vectors of neighbouring blocks in the same frame and the corresponding block and its neighbouring blocks in one or more preceding and/or subsequent frames, analysing said first set of vectors, and selecting one of the candidate vectors on the basis of the analysis.
摘要:
An improved MPEG adaptive reference fine granularity scalability encoder and decoder is described. The parameters α and β used to weight difference data during the generation of a prediction error signal in an enhancement layer are modified in dependence upon the magnitude of the values in the difference data.
摘要:
A method of representing a colour image comprises selecting a region of the image, selecting one or more colours as representative colours for the region and, for a region having two or more representative colours, calculating for each representative colour at least two parameters related to the colour distribution in relation to the respective representative colour and using said parameters to derive descriptors for the image region.
