摘要:
A video transmission system, a video transmitting apparatus, a video receiving apparatus, and a video transmission method whereby, when a plurality of terminals whose characteristics differ receive video simultaneously, each terminal can receive video with quality appropriate for that terminal. In this system, a video transmitting apparatus (100) divides layered-coded data by quality and bit rate by means of a channel division section (106), and transmits data on separate channels from a video transmitting section (108) after adding priorities calculated by a priority calculation section (112). Video transmitting apparatus (100) also groups channels by quality and calculates a group list by means of a group list calculation section (114), and transmits this group list from a group list transmitting section (116). A video receiving apparatus (150) determines reception channels by means of a reception channel determination section (158) using input priority quality and a received group list, and receives the determined channels by means of a video receiving section (160).

The present invention provides an image recording apparatus including a document size detection sensor 103 for recognizing a size of an image to be recorded. An image input section 101 reads and stores therein the image to be recorded, and a paper feeder stores therein and feeding recording paper having a specified size. An image forming section 108 forms an image on recording paper fed from the paper feeder. An image processing section 106 divides a read image into two portions based on a result of detection by the document size detection sensor 103 when a size of the image to be recorded is larger than recording paper having a specified size and executes image processing for displacing a central position of each image so that an edge section of each image will be aligned to an edge of a binding space of each discrete sheet of recording paper. One of the image portions may further be inverted. An image output section 107 outputs an image processed by the image processing section 108.

When a switching target device receives a media output indication from a sender device, a switch connects with contact B, which causes all image data stored in an extended media buffer to be inputted in a decoder, starting from the first frame (which is an I-frame) of the image data. The decoder decodes the image data, starting from the I-frame, and stores a reconstructed image in a reconstructed-image buffer. A reconstructed image required for decoding video picture data outputted from a media buffer is held in the reconstructed-image buffer. Thus, when device switching occurs, the decoder can immediately start decoding regardless of whether video picture data inputted from the media buffer is an intraframe.

An audio and video communications apparatus eliminates a system clock frequency difference, freeing a user from unconformable feeling of audio and video. The audio and video communications apparatus includes: a transmitting unit and a receiving unit (106/108) transmitting and receiving audio and video via a network; a PTS correction timing determining unit (111) determining timing to update a correction amount of a PTS according to information of the audio or the video to be transmitted and received, the PTS being given to the received audio or the received video; a PTS correcting unit (112) correcting the PTS by updating the correction amount at the timing determined by the PTS correction timing determining unit (111); and an audio and video output unit (113) outputting the received audio and the received video corresponding to the corrected PTS found at a current time indicated by the audio and video communications apparatus.

In order to enhance the picture quality of a detected area, the present invention provides a video coding apparatus. In the apparatus, a reliability indicative of the degree of coincidence of an area detected by an important area detecting section with a real important area is calculated, and a coding parameter calculating section calculates a coding parameter to be set to the detected area according to the reliability, thereby controlling the picture quality of the detected area. Consequently, a whole image has a coding bit amount which does not break the restrictions of a transmission bit rate, and a larger coding bit amount is assigned to the important area so that a picture quality thereof can be improved and a visibility can be enhanced. In addition, the picture quality is more enhanced if a probability that the detected area might be an important area is higher.

A background separator 120 compares and finds differences between a background image intra-coded in the past and an input image and determines a background area and a non-background area. A base layer coder 130 generates a video stream of a base layer using an input image. An enhancement layer coder 140 actually codes only the image of the non-background area. A video transmitter 160 transmits a video stream of the base layer generated by the base layer coder 130. A video transmitter 170 transmits the video stream of the enhancement layer generated by the enhancement layer coder 140.

A moving image receiving apparatus has a moving image decoding apparatus (303) for decoding received moving image data. The moving image decoding apparatus (303) comprises: a media buffer (401) for storing moving image data; an intra-map memory (402) for storing an intra-map indicating a location of an intrablock included in an interframe of the moving image data; a pseudo intraframe generator (404) that, based on an intra-map stored in the intra-map memory (402), extracts an image of an intrablock included in an interframe in order from a latest interframe accumulated in the media buffer (401), combines images of intrablocks extracted from a plurality of interframes, and thereby generates a pseudo intraframe; and a decoder (406) that starts to decode moving image data, using a pseudo intraframe. The moving image receiving apparatus can thus decode received moving image data from an arbitrary frame.

摘要:
A video transmitting apparatus that is able to efficiently transmit and decode only the video data of the region of interest without lowering coding efficiency, and that is able to change the region of interest during reproduction of video. In this apparatus, a base layer coding section (116) codes the base layer of low resolution obtained by reducing input video of high resolution. A region map calculating section (118) calculates a region map indicating the divided region upon coding, and an enhancement layer coding section (120) performs intra-frame coding for each divided region after dividing the enhancement layer which is differential video of the input video and video obtained by decoding the base layer coded video and expanding the same to the resolution of the input video according to the region map. Here, an offset table generating section (122) generates an offset table indicating the storing position of the coded enhancement layer for each divided region, and a video data clipping section (136) clips the video data corresponding to the region of interest only from the enhancement layer using the offset table.
