    摘要: The apparatus for decoding a digital signal includes a composite picture forming unit for forming a composite picture from a first digital video signal and a second digital video signal. The first digital video signal includes inter-coded picture data. A down-converter receives a third digital video signal, and outputs the third digital video signal to the composite picture forming unit as the first digital signal in a first mode. However, the down-converter down-converts the third digital video signal into a fourth digital video signal in a second mode, and outputs the fourth digital video signal to the composite picture forming unit in the second mode. A memory stores the anchor pictures output from the composite picture forming unit, and a motion compensator generates the second digital signal based on the stored anchor pictures.

    摘要: A method locates scene changes in a sequence of images or frames that have been compressed without first decompressing the sequence. The sequence includes subsequences of P-frames between I-frames. DC residual coefficients including sign information are extracted from the sub-sequences of P-frames. If the number of residual coefficients in the P-frames exceed a predetermined threshold, then a scene change is indicated. Positive coefficients indicate fade-ins, and negative coefficients indicate fade-outs.

    摘要: A method determines true motion vectors associated with a sequence of images. The images include fields made up of blocks of pixels. The method selects candidate feature blocks from the blocks of pixels. The candidate feature blocks have intensity variances above a threshold indicative of texture features. Candidate feature blocks in similarly numbered adjacent field intervals are compared to determine sets of displaced frame differences parameters for each candidate feature block. The true motion vectors for each candidate feature block are determined from a minimum weighted score derived from the difference parameters.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for down-converting a digital video signal includes a synthesizer and a converter. The synthesizer receives a digital video signal including at least first and second DCT blocks of DCT coefficients, and synthesizes the first and second DCT blocks into a single synthesized DCT block having dimensions equal to the first and second DCT blocks. The converter converts the synthesized DCT block from the DCT domain to the spatial domain to produce an output digital video signal.

    摘要: A digital video signal processing system includes apparatus for concealing errors which might occur in reproduced images due to image data lost during signal transmission. The system includes circuitry for detecting transmitted video data, generating error signals if errors are present in segments (transport blocks) of the received data, and excising segments having errors from the data stream. The received data is applied to a decoder/decompressor system which decodes and decompresses the transmitted video data according to a predetermined sequence and applies the decompressed video data to a memory (for subsequent display or recording, etc.). The decompressor is responsive to the error signals for altering the predetermined sequence.
