    摘要: Television images to be digitally recorded are divided into blocks and the discrete cosine transform DCT of each block is taken. The DC coefficient of each DCT block is scalar-quantized, and its AC coefficients are classified-vector-quantized (CVQ). The square of the value that part or all the AC coefficients among horizontal AC coefficients including a first AC coefficient and vertical AC coefficients including a second AC coefficient, according to the zigzag scanning sequence of DCT block, are subtracted from a representative value of a preset reference class. Using a multilevel compression method, lowest level codes are vector-partitioned by P-units at equal intervals with respect to each classified DCT block, and code books of representative vectors corresponding to the partitioned vectors are provided. Indices of corresponding representative vectors in respective code books and the classified codes are taken as encoding data corresponding to AC coefficients to keep a constant number of bits in the lowest level codes. Then, errors created in a preceding level are corrected. Code books of S-units of representative vectors corresponding to the errors are provided again, and corresponding indices and parity data in the respective code books are provided. Here, codes are output in which an image is more compactly compressed in lower levels, and higher levels have more elaborate picture quality. During tape recording, the codes descriptive of the scalar quantized DC term, the classification of the AC terms and the lowest-level vector-quantization index for each successive DCT block are grouped together for recording in a respective one of regularly spaced equal-length segments of the recording tracks. Decoding is performed in the reverse sequence of encoding. During a high speed search, only lowest level codes having a constant number of bits are decoded regardless of the complexity of the picture, so that picture quality is good enough to discern the nature of the images.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for compression encoding successive input images into a plurality of sync blocks which are sequentially recorded on a record carrier, comprises digitally processing each of the input images in accordance with a first image compression encoding technique so as to provide a first digital signal representative of a low resolution version of each of the input images. The input images are also digitally processed in accordance with a second image compression encoding technique which is different from the first image compression encoding technique so as to provide a second digital signal representative of a higher resolution version of each of the input images. Consecutive portions of both of the first and second digital signals are combined into sequential sync blocks which are then sequentially recorded on a record carrier.

    摘要: Sparse channel equalization may be achieved by receiving a signal via a multi-path communication channel. The equalization then continues by extracting sparse information regarding the multiple path communication channel from the signal. Such sparse information generally indicates the position of the signals received via each of the multiple paths. The equalization then continues by estimating a channel response of the multiple path communication channel based on the sparse information. The equalization then continues by generating equalization taps (or coefficients) based on the channel response. The equalization then continues by equalizing the signal based on the equalization taps.

    摘要: A digital television signal is intercepted by a plurality of antennas to produce a corresponding plurality of input signals. The antennas have different directionality so they can be combined in a way that reduces multipath echoes. In one embodiment, the antennas are arranged to operate in a diversity or scanned array mode. In another embodiment, the antennas are arranged to operate in a adaptive phased array mode. The input signals intercepted by the antenna are subjected to vestigial sideband (VSB) processing to produce a single VSB processed signal, which is decoded to form a display drive signal. A plurality of input signals in a VSB receiver having a plurality of antennas with different directionality are evaluated to determine how the input signals should be combined to reduce multipath echoes. The quality of the input signals from the antennas is evaluated at one of a number of different points in the VSB receiver, such as at the outputs of the antennas, the outputs of the VSB processors, or the output of the forward error correction (FEC) decoder. Within the VSB processors themselves, the quality of the input signals can be evaluated at a number of different points, including the outputs at the front end, the outputs at the back end, or inside the back end the outputs at the feed forward equalizer.
