Abstract:
A system and method for routing SIP session which can refer to converged IP messaging (CPM) are provided in the present invention, which can send the SIP session invite message to the same user's multiple devices with the same user identifier of the same user; when the multiple devices belonging to the recipient are online simultaneously, the SIP session invite message is respectively routed by the service system to multiple devices. Thereby the problem of routing the SIP session of “one number, multiple devices”, which can refer to the CPM message and CPM session invite message, is solved, and the user experience is improved.
Abstract:
The disclosure discloses a method and system for transmitting a large message mode CPM message, both of which enable the respective establishment of Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) links between a CPM client of a sender and an originating participation function entity, between the originating participation function entity and a terminating participation function entity, and between the terminating participation function entity and an inter-working function entity, wherein the establisher of each segment of MSRP link obtains the MSRP connection parameters of the opposite end through media negotiations and establishes the MSRP link according to the MSRP connection parameters; the CPM client of the sender sends the large message mode CPM message to the inter-working function entity through each segment of established MSRP link in sequence, the inter-working function entity performs a protocol conversion on the received the large message mode CPM message and then transmits the converted message to a non-CPM system. The method and system of the disclosure enable the transmission of a large message mode CPM message to an unavailable CPM system user, thus improving user experience.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining an image reference block in a code mode of fixed reference frame number includes the steps of: performing motion estimation for each block of a current B frame and obtaining a motion vector MV of a corresponding block of a backward reference frame; discriminating whether the motion vector is beyond a maximum forward reference frame which is possibly pointed by the B frame, if not, then calculating the forward and backward motion vectors in a normal way; if yes, then using the motion vector of the forward reference frame that the B frame can obtain in the same direction to replace the motion vector of the corresponding block in the backward reference, and calculating the forward and the backward motion vectors of the B frame; finally, two image blocks pointed by the final obtained forward and backward motion vectors as the image reference blocks corresponding to the macro block. The present invention solves the possibly appeared problem of un-matching motion vectors, and can guarantee the coding efficiency to the largest extent.

Abstract:
The invention discloses a bi-directional prediction method for video coding/decoding. When bi-directional prediction coding at the coding end, firstly the given forward candidate motion vector of the current image block is obtained for every image block of the current B-frame; the backward candidate motion vector is obtained through calculation, and the candidate bi-directional prediction reference block is obtained through bi-directional prediction method; the match is computed within the given searching scope and/or the given matching threshold; finally the optimal matching block is selected to determine the final forward motion vector, and the backward motion vector and the block residual. The present invention achieves the object of bi-directional prediction by coding a single motion vector, furthermore, it will not enhance the complexity of searching for a matching block at the coding end, and may save amount of coding the motion vector and represent the motion of the objects in video more actually. The present invention realizes a new prediction coding type by combining the forward prediction coding with the backward.
Abstract:
Digital images are resized according to a prescribed image scaling factor. An original image is re-sampled according to the scaling factor, resulting in an initial resized image. A probability of text (POT) map is generated for the initial resized image, where the POT map specifies a smoothed POT value for each pixel in the initial resized image. A weighting factor (WF) map is generated which maps each different smoothed POT value to a particular WF value. The WF map is used to calculate an adjusted luminance value for each pixel in the initial resized image, resulting in a final resized image.
Abstract:
In the invention, a rate distortion optimization (RDO) based rate control scheme is comprised of following two steps: first, does bit allocation for every frame in a GOP, and based on the allocated bits, a predicted quantization parameter is used to do the first rate distortion optimization mode selection for every macroblock in the current frame; second, the information of the current macroblock collected from the first rate distortion mode selection is used to calculate a final quantization parameter for rate control, and if the final quantization parameter is different from the predicted one, a second rate distortion mode selection will be executed again. A rate distortion optimization based rate control implementation includes following modules: a video coding encoder module (for example, H.264/JVT processing module), rate distortion optimization based macroblock mode selection and adaptive quantization module, virtual buffer, and global complexity estimation module. As RDO and rate control are considered together in the invention, the RDO based rate control scheme can achieve better coding performance while with accurate target bitrate control.
Abstract:
Textual image coding involves coding textual portions of an image. In an example embodiment, a textual block of an image is decomposed into multiple base colors and an index map, with the index map having index values that each reference a base color so as to represent the textual block. A set of neighbor index values are ascertained for a particular index of the index map. A context that matches the neighbor index values is generated from among multiple contexts. The matching context includes a set of symbols. At least one symbol-to-value mapping is determined based on the matching context and a symbol to which the particular index corresponds. The particular index is remapped to a particular value in accordance with the symbol-to-value mapping and the symbol to which the particular index corresponds.
Abstract:
A “Remote Display Generator,” as described herein, provides various techniques for providing high-fidelity displays with highly responsive interactive application experiences to clients across a wide range of network bandwidths for remotely hosted applications. In general, the Remote Display Generator uses a compression-friendly remote display architecture as a core. With this compression architecture, actual screen data from a remote server is read out from the display buffer frame by frame, and then compressed with a unified screen codec. Other technologies, including timer-driven screen update models and adaptive transmission mechanisms, are then integrated with various embodiments of the Remote Display Generator to improve overall user experience by improving display quality and responsiveness to user interaction with remotely hosted applications.
