摘要： A device for encoding video image data includes a data receiver that receives a current image frame to be compressed, the current image frame being composed of a plurality of current macroblocks. An information receiver receives metadata that includes information that identifies static areas within the received current image frame. An encoder encodes each of the plurality of current macroblocks. The encoder encodes a current macroblock that is entirely within the static areas as having no difference from a corresponding preceding macroblock in a preceding frame by using an encoded macroblock that is created without comparing the current macroblock to the corresponding preceding macroblock. The metadata may include information that identifies regular video and graphics within the received current image frame and the encoder may make different compression decisions according to the inclusion of regular video and graphics within the current macroblock.

摘要： A method and system are provided to encode a video sequence into a compressed bitstream. An encoder receives a video sequence from an image-capture device, together with metadata associated with the video sequence, and codes the video sequence into a first compressed bitstream using the metadata to select or revise a coding parameter associated with a coding operation. Optionally, the video sequence may be conditioned for coding by a preprocessor, which also may use the metadata to select or revise a preprocessing parameter associated with a preprocessing operation. The encoder may itself generate metadata associated with the first compressed bitstream, which may be used together with any metadata received by the encoder, to transcode the first compressed bitstream into a second compressed bitstream. The compressed bitstreams may be decoded by a decoder to generate recovered video data, and the recovered video data may be conditioned for viewing by a postprocessor, which may use the metadata to select or revise a postprocessing parameter associated with a postprocessing operation.

摘要： A process for format conversion of DCT macroblocks in an MPEG video bitstream that are divided into blocks, each of which includes a plurality of microblocks. In each DCT block, the significant frequencies are identified and preserved, isolating a corresponding microblock preferably consisting of the microblock on the top left of each block and setting to zero the coefficients of the remaining microblocks. On the microblock thus isolated there is performed an inverse discrete cosine transform, and the microblock thus obtained is merged with the homologous microblocks obtained from the other blocks comprised in a respective starting macroblock, so as to give rise to a merging block. The merging block thus obtained undergoes a discrete cosine transform so as to obtain a final block, which can be assembled into a macroblock with converted format.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a video encoding system that codes video sequence into a multi-level hierarchy based on levels of long term reference (LTR) frames. According to the present invention, an encoder designates a reference frame as a long term reference (LTR) frame and transmits the LTR frame to a receiver. Upon receiving feedback from the receiver acknowledging receipt of the LTR frame, the encoder periodically codes subsequent frames as reference frames using the acknowledged LTR frame as a reference and designates subsequent reference frames as secondary LTR frames. A determined number of frames after each secondary LTR frame may be coded using a preceding secondary LTR frame as a reference.
