Abstract: Corrupted subdivision s of streaming data are concealed using a matching subdivision in a previously reconstructed reference picture. The matching subdivision is located by applying a recovered motion vector to a co-located subdivision in the reference picture for which motion vector information has been lost. The recovered motion vector is obtained using a reference motion vector from an available neighboring subdivision of the co-located subdivision. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. This abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptive inter prediction mode coding are disclosed. In the current HEVC, a fixed set of variable length codes is used for the underlying video data, which may not optimally match the statistics of underlying video data. Consequently, the compression efficiency associated with the fixed set of variable length codes will be compromised. Accordingly, an adaptive coding scheme for inter prediction modes is disclosed. The variable length codes used for each inter prediction mode in each coding unit depth is adaptively determined by its respective statistics. The statistics can be measured as the frequency of occurrence of each mode. In one embodiment according to the present invention, counters are used to collect the statistics. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the statistics of inter prediction modes are collected from the previous slice and the set of variable length codes is determined for the subsequent slice (immediately following the previous slice) accordingly. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the statistics of inter prediction modes are updated for each coding unit and the variable length code for each mode is adjusted according to the statistics change during the coding process. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the variable length code for each mode is reset in the beginning of each slice. The reset code word table is either a predefined code word table for whole sequence or a code word table determined by the previous slice.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for video coding and decoding with constrained PU partition are disclosed. In the High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) system, rate-distortion function or other performance criterion usually is evaluated for various CU partition and PU partition during the encoding process in order to select a configuration with best possible performance. The PU design in the current HEVC development results in some redundancy that causes rate-distortion function or other performance criterion repeatedly evaluated for same PU configuration. Accordingly, constrained PU partition is developed to eliminate or reduce the redundancy in processing. Furthermore, necessary syntax to convey the information related to constrained PU partition between an encoder and a decoder is developed. Systems embodying the present invention has been shown to result in sizeable reduction in encoding and decoding time while the performance in terms of RD-rate remains approximately the same or slightly higher than a conventional HEVC system.

Abstract: A method of improving the lighting conditions of a real scene or video sequence. Digitally generated light is added to a scene for video conferencing over telecommunication networks. A virtual illumination equation takes into account light attenuation, lambertian and specular reflection. An image of an object is captured, a virtual light source illuminates the object within the image. In addition, the object can be the head of the user. The position of the head of the user is dynamically tracked so that an three-dimensional model is generated which is representative of the head of the user.

Abstract: A method compresses synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data by sampling the SAR data into blocks and transforming each block to a corresponding block of transform coefficients. Each block of transform coefficient is quantized according to a quantization parameter to obtain a corresponding block of quantized transform coefficients, which are demultiplexed into sets of blocks of quantized transform coefficients. The quantized transform coefficients in the blocks in each set are arithmetically encoding in parallel according to a probability model to produce an intermediate bitstream for each set of blocks. The encoding of the quantized transform coefficients of one block is independent of the quantized transform coefficients of a successive block. The intermediate of bitstreams are then multiplexed to a compressed bitstream, which can be transmitted, or stored, for subsequent decoding to construct an SAR image.
