摘要:
A digital media encoder/decoder performs quantization/dequantization based on quantization parameters taken from a harmonic quantizer scale. The harmonic quantizer scale can include a normal portion consisting of quantization parameter values harmonically-related as simple fractions of each other, and a denormal portion of quantizers having a linear or other relation. The encoder/decoder further supports a scaled quantizer mode where quantization is performed based on the quantization parameter as scaled by a fractional value. A compressed domain contrast adjustment is effected by adjusting the quantization parameters in the compressed bitstream, without having to adjust and recode the digital media data in the compressed bitstream.

Various techniques and tools for chrominance motion vector rounding are described. For example, during motion compensation, a video encoder or decoder converts luminance motion vectors into chrominance motion vector having quarter-pixel accuracy. Or, during motion compensation, a video encoder or decoder converts luminance motion vectors into chrominance motion vectors using one of multiple available chrominance motion vector rounding modes.

Techniques and tools for spatial extrapolation of pixel values in intraframe video encoding and/or decoding are described. For example, to predict the pixel values for a block of pixels, a video encoder or decoder uses spatial extrapolation from the pixel values of pixels in a causal neighborhood for the block of pixels.

A 2D transform and its inverse have an implementation as a sequence of lifting steps arranged for reduced computational complexity (i.e., reducing a number of non-trivial operations). This transform pair has energy compaction properties similar to the discrete cosine transform (DCT), and is also lossless and scale-free. As compared to a separable DCT transform implemented as 1D DCT transforms applied separably to rows and columns of a 2D data block, the transforms operations are re-arranged into a cascade of elementary transforms, including the 2×2 Hadamard transform, and 2×2 transforms incorporating lifting rotations. These elementary transforms have implementations as a sequence of lifting operations.

Described is a pipeline for handling notification messages sent to a mobile messaging message (e.g., SMS or SMTP) recipient, and handling a reply to that notification message, including correlating the notification message with the reply. An engine receives a notification message, and for a notification message to which a reply is possible, maintains state data for use in correlating a received reply with the notification message. The state data includes metadata that indicates that text or code data is expected in any reply. For a reply providing code data, the engine calls a selected URL corresponding to the code. To facilitate message delivery, the engine may format the notification message, including shortening a URL of the message, and/or splitting a longer notification message into shorter notification messages.

A reception apparatus for optimizing a virtual private network operates by defragmenting and deduplicating transfer of variable sized blocks. A large data object is converted to a plurality of data paragraphs by a fingerprinting method. Each data paragraph is cached and hashed. The hashes are transmitted from a primary apparatus. Only data paragraphs which are not previously cached at satellite are received. The data object is integrated from stored and newly transmitted data paragraphs and transmitted to its destination IP address.

A block transform-based digital media codec has a signaling scheme and bitstream syntax to flexibly signal that truncation of less significant information bits of transform coefficients coded as an optional layer of the bitstream has been performed adaptively per region or tile of the image.
摘要:
A method and system for converting source tables of a database of the application to target tables of a new version of the database while reducing the amount of time that the database needs to be open in single-user access mode is provided. A conversion system divides the conversion into a multi-user phase and a single-user phase. During the multi-user phase, the conversion system can perform most of the conversions while the database is opened in multi-user access mode. The conversion system stores the converted data in auxiliary tables, rather than updating the source tables. During the single-user phase, the conversion system performs the remaining conversions and copies data from the source tables and the converted data from the auxiliary tables to the target tables.
摘要:
A block transform-based digital media codec achieves faster performance by re-mapping components of the digital media data into vectors or parallel units on which many operations of the transforms can be performed on a parallel or single-instruction, multiple data (SIMD) basis. In the case of a one-dimensional lapped biorthogonal transform, the digital media data components are re-mapped into vectors on which butterfly stages of both overlap pre-/post-filter and block transform portions of the lapped transform can be performed on a SIMD basis. In the case of a two-dimensional lapped biorthogonal transform, the digital media data components are re-mapped into vectors on which a Hadamard operator of both overlap pre-/post-filter and block transform can be performed on a SIMD basis.
