    摘要: Reverse jog play can be provided quickly and simply in a player that plays a recorded stream of inter-frame encoded digital video by storing, in intra-coded frame format, frames that were previously decoded by the player and are in the vicinity of the frame currently being displayed. The intra-frame encoded versions of the decoded frames may be digitally stored in random access memory (RAM) or in some other storage medium that is easily accessible. The number of previously decoded frames may be a fixed number essentially independent of the frame structure of the video stream. Alternatively, the player stores each decoded frame from a predetermined, e.g., the most recently or next to most recently decoded, intra-coded frame (I-frame) until the current frame. Thus, the number of useable stored frames is a function of the video stream structure, the design choices of the user, and the current frame being displayed. Optionally, when using reverse jog play, an additional series of frames is decoded and stored upon reaching a point near the I-frame toward which the display is moving. Advantageously, by using I-frame format for storing the previously decoded frames for possible use in reverse jog play, the storage requirement for such frames is reduced while conventional available components may be used to implement the system.

    摘要: In order to transmit an inter-frame coded video signal, such as an MPEG-coded video signal, over a packet-based network such as the Internet, the video signal associated with at least one video frame, is split (102, 402) into a high priority partition and a low priority partition. A systematic forward error erasure/correction (FEC) code (108), such as a Reed Solomon (n,k) code, is then applied to bytes in the high priority partition. The forward error/erasure corrected high priority partition bytes and the low priority partition bytes are then combined (110) into n packets for transmission over the packet network to a receiver/decoder. Each of the n transmitted packets contains a combination of both high priority partition data bytes and low priority partition information bytes. In k of those packets the high priority partition data bytes are all high priority partition information bytes and in n−k of those packets all the high priority partition data byte are parity bytes produced by the FEC coding. More specifically, for each high priority partition byte position within the n packets, the forward error/erasure correction code is applied using one high priority partition information byte from the same byte position in each of those k packets to determine n−k parity bytes, which are arranged, one byte per packet, in the n−k packets containing high priority partition parity bytes. If up to n−k packets are lost in transmission over the packet network to the receiver (500, 600), then the high priority partition bytes in such lost packets can be recovered to applying FEC decoding (506) to the high partition bytes in the received packets. The most visually significant information is thus protected against packet loss over the network.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus directed to reducing blockiness resulting from encoding digital video data using, e.g., DCTs are disclosed. An encoder which encodes video signals into a digital video bitstream including information identifying blocky video and instructions for processing the blocky video is also disclosed. A plurality of methods of identifying blocky video in an encoded bitstream by analyzing the encoded bitstream are also disclosed. In addition, various methods of filtering both non-blocky and blocky video, without adversely affecting the non-blocky video, are described.
