    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for encoding a digital video signal provided as a plurality of blocks of video data. The video data in block form are subjected to discrete cosine transformation to yield respective DC components and respective pluralities of AC components. The plurality of AC components are variable length encoded and, in certain embodiments, the DC components and variable-length encoded AC components of each block are arranged in a data stream so that the DC components precede the variable-length encoded AC components and relatively lower frequency variable length encoded AC components precede relatively higher frequency ones thereof. Error correction codes for the transformed data also are supplied. In certain embodiments of the invention, the transformed video data are arranged as a sequence of fixed length symbols so that the beginning of each of a plurality of blocks of transformed data corresponds with the beginning of a respective symbol within the sequence. In addition, an address indicating the position of a subsequent block is included within the sequence in association with a preceding block.

    摘要: A digital image signal is encoded for recording by placing in a sync block approximately an integer number of macro blocks representing orthogonally transformed image data for a certain portion of the image. When a sync block is reproduced at high speed, the reproduced data therein corresponds to a displayable portion of the image including DC components and both low and high frequency AC components. Also, each sync block contains fixed length areas for the orthogonal transform coefficient data according to the 4:1:1 (or 4:2:0) format in which four blocks of luminance coefficients and two blocks of color difference coefficients represent a certain portion of an image, and also contains at least one fixed length overflow area for the high frequency coefficients which exceed the capacity of the fixed length coefficient areas. An error in the low frequency coefficients in the fixed length areas does not harm the high frequency coefficients since they are in separately addressed areas. Before a set of macro blocks is compressed into variable length encoded data, with the amount of encoded data for each set being kept within a target value so as to fit into fixed length recording tracks, the macro blocks are shuffled so that the central portions of an image are at the beginning of the set for reducing the noticeability of errors in a reproduced image.

    摘要: A high-definition signal (HD) is separated to prevent the quality of an image from being deteriorated when the high-definition signal is mixed with a standard video signal. A low band signal of the HD signal from a decimation circuit (5) is supplied through a discrete cosine transform circuit (7), a quantizer circuit (8), a variable length coder circuit (9) and an encoder circuit (11) to a recording head (12). A signal from the quantizer circuit (8) is supplied through an inverse quantizer circuit (17) to a subtracter circuit (18). A signal from the discrete cosine transform circuit (7) is supplied to the subtracter circuit (18), thereby forming a difference signal between a decoded signal of the compresses signal and the original signal. This difference signal is supplied through a quantizer circuit (19) a run length coding circuit (20) and a variable length coder circuit (21) to an adder circuit (16). A high band signal of the HD signal from the decimation circuit (6) is supplied through a quantizer circuit (13), a run length coder circuit (14) and a variable length coder circuit (15) to the adder circuit (16). Then, a signal from the adder circuit (16) is supplied through an encoder circuit 22 to a recording head 23.

    摘要: Tracking control signals are produced in response to the scanning of data tracks on a record medium, with at least alternate ones of those tracks containing tracking information signals recorded in predetermined areas. The tracks are scanned by a transducer arrangement comprised of first and second heads offset from each other in a direction substantially transverse of the tracks and displaced from each other in a direction substantially parallel to those tracks, such that the first and second heads scan two tracks concurrently over the major portion of a scanning trace of each head. Tracking information signals picked up by the first and second heads during a scanning trace are detected; and a tracking control signal indicative of a tracking error relative to the tracks being scanned is produced in response to those tracking information signals picked up by the two heads.

    摘要: An inputted digital signal of a first format (DV video signal) is restored to a variable-length code by having its framing cancelled by a de-framing section 11, then decoded by a variable-length decoding (VLD) section 12, inversely quantized by an inverse quantizing (IQ) section 13, and inversely weighted by an inverse weighting (IW) section 14. Then, required resolution conversion in the orthogonal transform domain (frequency domain) is carried out on the inversely weighted video signal by a resolution converting section 16. After that, the video signal having the resolution converted is weighted by a weighting (W) section 18, then quantized by a quantizing (Q) section 19, coded by variable-length coding by a variable-length coding (VLC) section 20, and outputted as a digital signal of a second format (MPEG video signal).

    摘要: A hybrid imaging device is configured to capture low resolution video and high resolution still images. The imaging device is configured to apply motion information obtained from the low resolution video to a reference high resolution still image to generate a missing moment of interest high resolution still image. The low-resolution video is captured at a high frame rate in conjunction with a few high-resolution still pictures taken at periodic intervals. A user locates a desired scene of interest, e.g. a moment of interest, from the captured video, and a post-processing technique is used to generate the high resolution still picture corresponding to the selected moment of interest. The high resolution still image is generated using texture information from one or more nearby captured high resolution still images and motion information from the low-resolution video frame corresponding to the selected moment of interest.
