    Abstract: There is a coding including-preparing coding units based on source pictures. The coding units are associated with largest coding tree units (LCTUs) which are polygons of source pictures. A tree format is utilized in processing the LCTUs into coding units. The preparing includes calculating an efficiency measure associated with a source picture position in a coordinate system based on fitting the coordinate system and the source picture with respect to each other. The preparing includes determining the source picture position based on a coding efficiency goal. The source picture is divided into LCTUs based on the coordinate system and the determined source picture position. There is also a decoding including processing video compression data which is generated based on the coding units based on partitions of LCTUs.

    Abstract: A two-pass encoder determines a quantization parameter (QP) value to control an actual number of bits consumed in a second encoding pass. The two-pass encoder includes a first encoding module, a rate control module and a second encoding module. The first encoding module includes a circuit configured to perform a first encoding pass to encode input video sequences. The rate control module is configured to determine R, a target bit rate for a picture in the second encoding pass, and α, a variable dependent on a QP value range, a picture type, and complexity. Q, a QP value for the picture or an MB of the picture in the second encoding pass, is also determined based on R and α. The second encoding module is configured to use Q to encode the picture or the MB of the picture in the input video sequence in the second encoding pass to form an output bitstream. The rate control module is further configured to update α to encode a next picture or a next MB of the picture in the second encoding pass.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are methods for selecting, out of a lineup of IPTV channels, a subset of channels for caching. The methods take into account viewers' tendency to walk through the channels that lie between their current channel and their desired channel if that walking distance is short, and, alternatively, viewers' tendency to jump to a distant channel. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention include any channel selection method which selects for caching any number of channels less than the entire lineup, and where at least two of those channels form a segment of adjacent channels. Other embodiments include methods which rely upon specific extrinsic data, e.g., IGMP and EPG information, for selecting a subset of channels to be cached.

    Abstract: A method and system of encoding and decoding digital video content. The digital video content comprises a stream of pictures which can each be intra, predicted, or bi-predicted pictures. Each of the pictures comprises macroblocks that can be further divided into smaller blocks. The method entails encoding and decoding each of the smaller blocks in each picture in said stream of pictures in either frame mode or in field mode.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for providing a rate control to an encoder, e.g., a H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compliant encoder. For example, the rate control method computes a target group of pictures (GOP) rate for a GOP of the input image sequence. The rate control method then computes a target rate per picture from the target GOP rate. In one embodiment, the target rate comprises at least one of: a frame picture target rate and a field picture target rate, wherein the field picture target rate is computed in accordance with two complexity measures for two predicted (P) fields, one complexity measure for one intra (I) field and one complexity measure for one bi-predicted (B) field.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for providing a motion estimation method with weight prediction that requires less memory and computation cycles. In one embodiment, the weight is applied to pixels of a current slice or picture instead of the reference picture. In doing so, the number of processing cycles is significantly reduced while retaining the benefits of implementing a motion estimation method with weight prediction.
