摘要： An apparatus and method is described for performing texture-decoding within a video decoder processing a series of macroblocks within a video bit-stream. The inventive texture decoding is particularly well suited for implementation within decoders incorporating multiple processors. The method separates data independent operations from data dependent (sequential) operations wherein multiprocessing may be efficiently utilized for processing data independent macroblocks. The method preferably makes an assumption as to prediction direction within the set of data dependent operations. A prediction determination is then made and the assumption corrected if necessary with a transposition within the data independent operations operating on the macroblocks. The method reduces the computational overhead and provides for efficiently segmenting operations within a multiprocessing decoder.

摘要： Windows of the first type and windows of the second type are identified within a frame using energy associated with each short window within the frame. The short windows of the first type and the short windows of the second type are then grouped into two preliminary groups based on the window type of each short window. Further, if the number of short windows in any of the two preliminary groups exceeds a threshold number, the short windows in this large preliminary group are further grouped into at least two more groups.

摘要： A transcoder for transcoding digital video signals includes a decoder and an encoder. In the decoder, an end-of-block (EOB) position of an incoming block received by the decoder is determined and a discrete cosine transform (DCT) block type is determined based on the determined EOB position. A reduced number of DCT coefficients is computed in a subsequent inverse DCT computation based on the DCT block type. In the encoder, if the incoming block is intercoded, no DCT coefficients are computed after the EOB of the incoming blocks is performing a DCT. Further, in the encoder when the incoming block is intercoded, an algorithm is applied to predict which DCT coefficients may become zero after a subsequent quantization operation, and only DCT coefficients that may not become zero are computed in performing the DCT.

摘要： Methods and systems for generating motion vectors for re-encoding video signals are disclosed. The motion vector is determined by the sum of a base motion vector and a delta motion vector. In the case of no frame-skipping, the base motion vector is the incoming motion vector. In the case of frame skipping, the base motion vector is the sum of the motion vectors of the incoming signal since the last re-encoded frame and the current frame. The delta motion vector is optimized by a minimum Sum of the Absolute Difference by searching over a smaller area than if searching for a new motion vector without a delta motion vector. These methods and systems may be used to improve re-encoding digital video signals.

摘要： Block-based variational image processing provides improved image processing by utilizing portions of an image rather than the entire image. The image is divided into multiple smaller portions, and then iterations to determine a partial differential equation for an image processing application are performed on the smaller portions. After performing the iterations on a portion, the resulting information is able to be stored in an external memory. This results in a much lower bandwidth requirement for the data, enabling the method to be performed in hardware. Additionally, the block-based variational image processing utilizes only a small number of neighboring pixels for each iteration.

摘要： A method of detecting existence of visually thin lines in images is described herein. The method includes profile generation, profile analysis and deciding the existence of thin lines. The profile generation includes generating a profile in each direction of the input image. Multiple projection lines are projected along the direction and all of the pixel values along the projection lines are added and averaged to obtain a profile. The profile analysis includes determining presence of thin lines in the input image and also noticing if the direction of the thin lines is similar to that of the projection lines. At the third step, according to the analysis made, existence of thin lines in the image is decided.

摘要： A method of deciding a target bit rate for wavelet-based image encoding based on the wavelet coefficients is described. The target bit rate is used for maintaining a high quality image. A minimum target bit rate and a maximum target bit rate are determined. A pseudo code length corresponding to the minimum target bit rate is calculated. The pseudo code length is calculated as a function of the wavelet coefficients. The corresponding pseudo code length is calculated for the maximum target bit rate. A curve between the pseudo code length and target bit rate is derived. Slope of the curve depends on buffer fullness. Using the curve, for a given pseudo code length, an appropriate target bit rate is derived. The derived target bit rate depends on the image content, and computing resources are able to be optimally used to attain similar quality for each image block of an image.

摘要： In one embodiment, a macroblock is determined in an incoming bitstream. In one example, the macroblock may be a 16×16 macroblock for a first coding standard, such as MPEG-2. The macroblock is then divided into a plurality of segmented blocks. For example, an arbitrary sized segment of blocks may be used to divide the macroblock into segmented blocks. In one example, the macroblock is divided into four 8×8 segmented blocks. A plurality of statistical measures are then determined for the plurality of segmented blocks. For example, for each segmented block, a sum of absolute differences (SAD) is determined. Then, one or more sizes for the sub-blocks are determined based on the comparison. For example, a variable sub-block size for an AVC bitstream is determined.
