摘要:
A method of encoding a coordinate interpolator that includes key data and a key header including information regarding encoding of the key data, the key data representing the position of a key frame on a time axis. The method includes, encoding the key header and encoding the key data according to the result of the encoding performed in the encoding the key header. The encoding of the key data includes performing quantization on the key data according to the quantization bit size and generating differential data by performing differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) on the result of the quantization according to a DPCM order. The encoding of the key data also includes performing a divide-and-divide (DND) on the differential data so that a difference between a maximum and minimum of the differential data can be minimized and performing entropy encoding on the result of the DND.

An apparatus for encoding DPCMed differential data of key data includes a DND operator which performs on input differential data a predetermined number of times a DND operation, in which a divide operation is performed on the input differential data so as to divide differential data belonging to a positive number region into halves and so as to convert one half of the differential data belonging to an upper range than the other half into negative values, and either a divide-up operation or a divide-down operation is selectively performed on the results of the divide operation depending on the range of the results of the divide operation so as to reduce the range of differential data belonging to a negative number region or the positive number region, respectively, a shift-up operator which performs a shift-up operation on the results of the DND operation so as to transfer the differential data having been through the DND operation to either the positive or negative number region, a differential data selector which selectively outputs either the differential data having been through the DND operation or the differential data having been through the shift-up operation, and an entropy encoder which entropy-encodes the differential data selected by the differential data selector.

The method of generating an input file includes preparing an extensible MPEG-4 textual (XMT) schema that defines a compression node, encoding parameters, and BitWrapperEncodingHints; preparing an XMT2BIFS style sheet that supports conversion of an input XMT file into a scene file according to the XMT schema, and an XMT2MUX style sheet that supports conversion of the input XMT file into a mux file according to the XMT schema; generating the scene file and the mux file by parsing the input XMT file according to the XMT schema using the XMT2BIFS and XMT2MUX style sheets; determining whether the scene file contains uncompressed graphics data; and compressing the graphics data into a bitstream using the encoding parameters and generating a modified scene file and a modified mux file, when uncompressed graphics data is present in the scene file. Accordingly, it is possible to allow an author to easily express or compress three-dimensional (3D) graphics data using meta representation during authoring of 3D contents and generate an input file that can be input to an MPEG-4 encoder. Therefore, it is possible to visualize 3D graphics data or animation data in real time even at a low network bandwidth.

A method and apparatus for processing data in a heterogeneous multi-core environment, capable of reducing data processing time by storing frames not having redundant data only among input frames in a shared memory. The apparatus compares a second frame with a first frame having a time difference with respect to a first frame, thereby determining identity between the first frame and the second frame. The apparatus stores address information related to the first frame or stores the second frame according to the determination result, thereby reducing quantity of data to be updated.

Provided are an input file generation method and system using a meta language regarding graphics data compression. The method includes making an extensible markup language (XML) schema that defines at least a compression node describing object data to be compressed, and parameters used to data compression; making style sheets which support conversion of an input XML file into a file, which is to be input to a data compression encoder, based on the XML schema; and generating a file, which is to be input to the data compression encoder, by parsing the input XML file based on the XML schema and the style sheets. Accordingly, an author can easily use and compress three-dimensional (3D) data using the meta language during authoring 3D contents. Further, the author can select a data compression format and controls data compression. Whether data is to be compressed or not and the format of data compression can be determined by representation of the metal language.
