    摘要: According to one embodiment, video data from a video transmitter (110) is received (420) at a network buffer (130). Information that pertains to a network buffer drain rate (14) of the network buffer (1q3) is monitored (430). The network buffer drain rate (140) is a rate that the video data is removed from the network buffer (130). The network buffer drain rate (140) is estimated (440) based on the monitored information. A transmission rate (120) that the video transmitter (110) transmits future video data is adjusted (450) to not exceed an allowed transmission rate (ATR) that is calculated based on the estimation of the network buffer drain rate (140).

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for encoding using feedback. A base layer of a current frame is encoded. The residue of the current frame is generated. The residue of the current frame is encoded. Also, in response to feedback from a receiver, a coding strategy for each block of the current frame is determined and coding is performed according to one or more of source coding and Wyner-Ziv coding. The feedback is based on the base layer of the current frame and previous correctly received enhancement frames.

    摘要: A motion-based, multi-stage segmentation of a video frame is provided. A first segmentation stage identifies motion boundaries in a plurality of sub-blocks of the video frame. The motion boundaries are identified by computing an occlusion-insensitive localized motion cost and minimizing a MAP-MRF energy based on the localized motion cost. A second segmentation stage refines the motion boundaries by adding a color cost to the localized motion cost in the MAP-MRF energy.

    摘要: Adapting characteristics of a video stream. A video stream is received, at a video adaptation device, which employs a first reference frame. A determination is made, at a video adaptation device, to splice the video stream to employ a second reference frame in place of the first reference frame. The video stream is spliced, at a video adaptation device, to create a spliced video stream that employs the second reference frame.

    摘要: The present invention is a two-step, contour-sensitive deinterlacing technique. The first step of the technique determines for each missing pixel of an interlaced frame of image pixels whether the absolute difference between the pixels above and below the missing pixel is greater than a preselected threshold value. If it is decided that the missing pixel lies at a low-vertical frequency location, its value is estimated via vertical interpolation. Otherwise, the second step is carried out. The goal of the second step is to determine whether or not there is a well-defined contour passing through the missing pixel, and to determine its direction if there is one. In the presence of a well-defined contour, the missing pixel is obtained by averaging the intensity values along the direction of the contour in the field lines immediately above and below the missing field line. Otherwise the process effectively falls back to vertical interpolation. The presence of a well-defined contour is detected by comparing the summed absolute differences (SAD) of blocks of pixels along a predetermined set of candidate directions, including the vertical direction, and selecting the direction associated with the least SAD. The fall-back to vertical interpolation in the absence of a well-defined contour is implicit due to the weighting of the SAD corresponding to the vertical direction.

    摘要: A hybrid deinterlace mechanism employs motion detection as a precursor to select the value for each missing pixel of a deinterlaced frame, which is generated by using four consecutive fields to produce a motion detection map that is subsequently coupled to a deinterlacer, together with a selected two of the four consecutive fields. These two selected fields and the motion map are sufficient for the deinterlacer to completely characterize the resulting deinterlaced frame. The deinterlacer switches between vertical interpolation and merging based upon motion. Motion is detected by applying a logic OR operation to respective even and odd field binary motion detection signals. In the absence of motion, the pixel values of an odd field and its immediately succeeding even field are merged. On the other hand, if motion is detected, vertical interpolation is carried out for the even field, by a linear combination of immediately adjacent pixels, respectively above and below the pixel of interest.

    摘要: Methods for adapting the sliding window of sliding window-based error correcting codes based on the coding structure of a compressed media stream are disclosed. In one aspect, a sender packetizes each frame of a media stream to be sent to a receiver into a set of frame packets. The sender also determines compression dependence of each frame and adapts a sliding window of a sliding window-based error correcting code based on the compression dependence of the frame. The sender encodes the frame packets into at least one associated parity packet according to the error correcting code with the adapted sliding window, and sends the frame packets and the at least one associated parity packet to the receiver.
