A non-dyadic spatial scalable wavelet transform may scale an original digital video frame or digital image at a non-dyadic ratio. The digital video frame or digital image is quantized to create a set of data representing the digital video frame or digital image. The set of data is then input to the non-dyadic spatial scalable wavelet transform. The non-dyadic spatial scalable wavelet transform may then transform the data associated with a first pixel to a high-pass coefficient and use the high-pass coefficient to transform the data associated with a second and third pixel to low-pass coefficients. The low-pass coefficients may then be converted to a digital image for viewing.

Transcoding hierarchical B-frames with rate-distortion optimization in the DCT domain is described. More particularly, and in one aspect, input media content is transcoded from an original bit rate to a reduced bit rate. The input media content includes multiple hierarchical bidirectional frames (“B-frames”), multiple intra-frames (I-frames), and multiple predictive frames (P-frames). Each B-frame is open-loop transcoded in view of the reduced bit rate by optimizing texture and motion rate-distortion in the DCT domain to generate a respective portion of transcoded media content. The transcoded media content, which includes transcoded B-frames, I-frames, and P-frames, is provided to a user for viewing.
摘要:
Video data for a high resolution image unit is coded with regard to both a low resolution reference image unit and a high resolution reference image unit. In an example encoding implementation, both low pass information and high pass information of residue data for a current image are generated. In an example decoding implementation, a current image is reconstructed by synthesizing both low pass information and high pass information for the reconstructed image.

A lighting unit that includes a light source and a reflector assembly upon which the light source is mounted. The reflector assembly includes a first reflector having a first curved reflective surface extending away from the light source, and a second reflector having a second curved reflective surface extending away from the light source. The first curved reflective surface faces and opposes the second curved reflective surface. The first curved reflective surface has a curvature that is different from that of the second curved reflective surface. The first and second curved reflective surfaces both preferably terminate in convexities that reduce the size of dark band areas of illumination.

Exemplary improvements for in-band wavelet video coding with spatial scalability are described. In one implementation an encoder uses leaky prediction to balance a trade-off between reducing drifting errors at lower resolutions while maintaining coding performance at higher resolutions. In an alternative implementation, a trade-off technique defines two coding modes at the macroblock level. The first mode includes predictions employed at a low quality reference while the second mode includes predictions employed at a high quality reference. The method then adaptively selects the proper coding mode for each macroblock according to a rate-distortion criterion.

Video coding methods and apparatuses are provided that make use of various models and/or modes to significantly improve coding efficiency especially for high/complex motion sequences. The methods and apparatuses take advantage of the temporal and/or spatial correlations that may exist within portions of the frames, e.g., at the Macroblocks level, etc. The methods and apparatuses tend to significantly reduce the amount of data required for encoding motion information while retaining or even improving video image quality.

Techniques and tools are described for scalable video coding and decoding. For example, a 3D sub-band video encoder includes an embedded base layer codec as well as temporal sub-band transforms and spatial sub-band transforms. The placement of the base layer codec among the sub-band transforms and the role of the base layer codec in scalable video coding vary depending on implementation. In general, the base layer codec provides efficient compression at low bit rates and produces a base layer compressed video bit stream compatible with existing decoders. At the same time, the 3D sub-band video encoder provides spatial and temporal scalability options at higher bit rates, refining the base layer video. A corresponding 3D sub-band video decoder includes an embedded base layer decoder.

A baseband process operating on a receiver in a communication system, such as an 802.15.4 communication system, is provided. The baseband process has a set of predefined reference signals, with each reference signal associated with a possible characteristic in the baseband signal. The baseband process receives a degraded baseband signal, and preprocesses the baseband signal to reduce or remove the effects of the degradation. The preprocessed baseband signal is correlated with reference signals from the set of predefined reference signals, and the reference signal with the best correlation is identified. By identifying the best correlating reference signal, the baseband process is able to identify a characteristic of the baseband signal. In one example of the baseband process, the baseband signal is preprocessed by auto-correlating the degraded baseband signal with a delayed version of the degraded baseband signal. The preprocessed baseband signal is then correlated against a set of sync reference signals to find a sync offset for the baseband signal. When synchronized with the baseband signal, the baseband process may be correlated against a set of symbol reference signals to decode sequential symbols in the baseband signal.
摘要:
A coding framework that provides conversions between one or more video formats without the use of a transcoder. A video information stream that includes color information formatted in accordance with a first color space sampling format is split into a base stream and an enhanced stream. The base stream is formatted in accordance with a second color space sampling format. The enhanced stream includes enhanced information that when combined with the base stream re-constructs the first format. During encoding, the enhanced stream may be encoded using spatial information related to the base information stream. An output stream of the encoded base stream and encoded enhanced stream may be interleaved, concatenated, or include independent files for the encoded base stream and the encoded enhanced stream.
