    摘要: In bitstream recording presentation data is organized into Video Object Units. These have a variable size but have also a variable duration. To allow access to any Video Object Unit in the bitstream a mapping list is used which is based on pieces of the bitstream of constant size per piece. The mapping list additionally contains for each of these pieces a specific delta duration which indicates the difference between the arrival time of the first packet of a piece and the arrival time of the packet following immediately the last packet of that piece, and contains an initialization value which allows to have a share of equal bits between a predetermined amount of MSBs of application time stamps and the same amount of LSBs of the summation of said delta time durations. The computation of the target SOBU address includes accumulating the initialization value and the delta durations until the given time value is most closely reached towards the target SOBU then multiplying the running index of this table entry by the constant piece size directly resulting in the address value to be accessed.

    摘要: A method of making a hierarchical estimate of image motion for a television signal. A television signal video image is divided into blocks of fixed size, and motion relative to a second video image is determined for each block. Mutually non-overlapping pixel blocks are produced at a lower, more finely resolved hierarchical level. The center points of these blocks are used as the points for an analysis at a level that is located higher in the hierarchy. Preferably, points which lie between image lines and which do not represent real picture elements in the line raster, are investigated in the mutually non-overlapping blocks.

    摘要: A method for the transmission of a video signal, in which the analogue signal is converted into a digital signal and is digitally transmitted. However, before the transmission is transformed into the spectral domain, some portions of the digital signals are variously weighted on the basis of the physiological behavior of the eye. This weighting is performed by coding the signals to be transmitted in their representational accuracy.

    摘要: Motion compensated temporal prediction is well-known for redundancy reduction in video signal compression. A prediction error signal and a motion vector for a current block are transmitted, describing the location of the predictor block in the reference picture. A problem solved by the invention is to encode and decode video signals using less or no mo- tion vector data side information. This is achieved through a temporal prediction which exploits common knowledge available in both encoder and decoder, requiring that the decoder performs a motion estimation, too. A common baseline motion estimation process is used at both encoder and decoder on the same set of video data that have already been compressed before and, hence, are available at both encoder and decoder, leading to identical motion parameters being generated in the decoder. These common motion parameters are used for generating a default temporal prediction without the need to transmit related motion vectors from the encoder to the decoder.

    摘要: Today the storage of audiovisual (AV) data on storage media employs standardized coding schemes, e.g. MPEG-2. End user devices for AV presentation, like disc players, contain dedicated decoders implemented in hardware, which are able to decode data streams complying with the respective standard. The efficiency of this decoding methodology relies on the standardization of appropriate coding schemes. Proprietary coding schemes may be more efficient by being adapted to the content, or may be used for content protection or optional features. Using reconfigurable decoder hardware, storing the configuration data for the actual decoder on the same storage medium as the AV data, and downloading the data to configure the player can be used to implement proprietary coding schemes. Such schemes require appropriate player hardware, suitable to execute a downloaded decoder under real-time conditions, and a standardized format to store the decoder configuration data.

    摘要: The IEEE 1394 bus communication protocol has three layers: physical layer, link layer, and transaction layer. Typically, the transaction layer is realized by firmware whereas the other layers are implemented using chip sets. The link layer IC usually contains a FIFO having a capacity of e.g. 32k or 64k bits. Therefore, the link layer chip is the most costly part of a complete IEEE 1394 interface. Due to these cost reasons most ICs on the market are not bi-directional although the IEEE 1394 bus specification supports this feature. Incoming or outgoing data packets are intermediately stored in the FIFO. The current solution to this problem is to have two separate IEEE 1394 bus nodes assigned to the same application, the two nodes including two physical layer ICs and two link layer ICs. The inventors have found that although the physical link layer interface is not designed for this purpose, it works correctly with up to three link layer ICs and one physical layer IC if the additional link layer IC/ICs is/are programmed respectively. Therefore two or more link layer ICs can operate together with one physical layer IC in one node wherein the link layer ICs are connected to the same application or device.

    摘要: The computation-intensive task of motion estimation for video signals is performed by block search methods using apparatus of reduced complexity. Motion estimation is performed by analyzing only specific bits, e.g. one or two MSBs, of the picture element values. These bits are logic-linked by means of EXOR and/or EXNOR functions, and the individual results for different block positions of a current block within a search window are combined. The respective motion vector for the current block is determined by using a minimum or maximum comparison.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for the improvement of the resolution of digital signals. In digital TV signals which are transformed into a frequency domain, irregularities in the pattern of the reproduced video signals occur because of rounding off errors, when the number of bits per sample is reduced during calculation of the coefficients. This is remedied by increasing the coefficients of the transformed signal values following at least one first coefficient, for example a DC-coefficient, and reducing them again after inverse transformation. This is applicable to digital systems using block processing in which, because of a limited amount of bits, a rounding off of the transmitted spectral coefficients is performed in the calculation.
