    摘要: In one embodiment, a system includes a compositor operable to receive a plurality of source video streams, each containing source images, and to convert each of the source video streams into source slice groups using flexible macroblock ordering (FMO). The compositor is further operable to add pad slice groups to the source slice groups to create a composite image, and reorder the source slice groups and pad slice groups into a single composite output stream. A device receives the single composite output stream and displays the composite image as a rectangular picture that has a size larger than that of any of the source images. 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.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method dynamically configures a BL bandwidth in a conference based on bandwidth capabilities in the video conferencing network. In one embodiment, the conference may include any combination of endpoints characterized as BL endpoints and SVCL endpoints. The method includes determining one or more bandwidth capabilities for a plurality of endpoints participating in a conference. The bandwidth capabilities for each respective endpoint may be based on its video decoding capability, the maximum bit-rate it can accept, the video encoding capability of the other endpoints, or a bandwidth constraint manifestation in a portion of the network, etc.

    摘要: Techniques for comparing blocks of pixels in digital image encoding. The techniques apply a pattern of elements containing contiguous pixels to the blocks being compared, and only the pixels in the elements are compared. The pixels are contiguous in the horizontal dimension of the digital image, which ensures that the block matching process is sensitive to small-scale vertical features of the image. A version of the technique which is particularly advantageous for use with DSPs that can process the pixels in a word in parallel uses checkerboard patterns in which each element is a word. Variations on the patterns take into account the fact that the block of pixels being compared may be word-aligned, misaligned by one pixel, misaligned by two pixels, and misaligned by three pixels. Misalignment may be dealt with by not comparing pixels that do not belong to the blocks being compared or by using an aligned pattern which does not completely cover the block and adding elements in the portion covered by the pattern to compensate for the elements that are not covered.
