摘要： One embodiment relates to an apparatus for image processing. The apparatus includes a candidate edge chain identifier for identifying candidate edge chains in an image being processed, means for calculating a dynamic chain-based threshold function that is dependent on at least one characteristic of the image being processed, and a threshold applicator for applying the dynamic chain-based threshold function to the candidate edge chains. The characteristic of the image being processed may be global in that it is determined from the overall image being processed. A system may include an encoder or a decoder, both of which include the above apparatus. Another embodiment relates to a method for image processing. The method determines a dynamic chain-based threshold function that is dependent on at least one characteristic of the image being processed and applies the dynamic threshold to a candidate edge chain.

摘要： A method of reconstructing a previously occluded area of a video image frame exposed by the motion of a segment within said image frame. In one embodiment the method involves approximating the color values of the pixels in the newly exposed area from the color values of the neighboring image segments. The process is refined by identifying a set of neighboring segments to the exposed area, called fill segments, that most closely resemble the color values of the pixels within the exposed area. These fill segments are then used to reconstruct the color values of the exposed area. In one embodiment, the identities of the fill segments are transmitted to an exemplary decoder.

摘要： In accordance with an embodiment, a method of encoding includes generating for each transform point a double difference coefficient (comprising the difference between a modeled difference coefficient and a raw difference coefficient) and encoding as an adaptive difference coefficient for each transform point either the double difference coefficient or the raw difference coefficient. Whether the double difference coefficient or the raw difference coefficient is selected to be the adaptive difference coefficient depends on which one provides more efficient coding. A method of decoding includes receiving the adaptive difference coefficients from the encoder, applying the same modeling and transform as the encoder to generate the modeled difference coefficients, generating corrective difference coefficients (from the adaptive difference coefficients and the modeled coefficients), and inverse transformation using the corrective difference coefficients. A system may include an encoder implementing the method of encoding and a decoder implementing the method of decoding.

摘要： Using image segmentation in video compression brings about a limitation in video quality when a segment moves in position from frame to frame. The limitation arises because color contributions (bleeding or blurring) naturally occur between neighboring segments. The above-identified problem is overcome by providing solutions to compensate for color contributions between neighboring segments. In accordance with one embodiment, a method and apparatus de-blurs an image segment. De-blurring involves removing from the segment approximate color contributions from neighboring segments. This results in a segment that is approximately independent of color contributions from neighboring segments. In accordance with another embodiment, a method and apparatus re-blurs an image segment. Re-blurring involves adding to the segment approximate color contributions from a new arrangement of neighboring segments. This results in more realistic rendering of the segment, as it is located in the new arrangement.

摘要： An efficient method of matching a segment in one image with a segment in another image. Fourier transforms are implemented to aid in the process. In one embodiment, a method involves identifying a displacement of a segment present in a first image and a second image, the displacement representing a relative change in position of the segment between the first and second images.

摘要： In one embodiment according to the present invention, relative z-ordering of segments in a digital image is determined. A method comprises forward and backward motion matching of image regions to determine overlap, followed by the creation of relationships (e.g., pairwise relationships) between regions and comparing the result with the original image to determine the relative z-ordering.

摘要： One embodiment comprises a method for image processing. The method includes identifying an uncovered region in an image, determining at least one trivalent point, and extrapolating from the trivalent point to extend an edge of at least one of the image segments into the uncovered region. Another embodiment comprises an apparatus for image processing. The apparatus includes a predictor for predicting higher-frequency boundary information in newly uncovered regions.

摘要： In one embodiment, an image is broken up into multiple regions or segments, where each segment may be of arbitrary shape, and a transform (multi-scale or otherwise) is applied on the set of segments. In another embodiment, pattern adaptive prediction is used when predicting the next finer level of the transform pyramid. The pattern adaptive prediction uses the parent grid to determine what geometry of a filter is to be used when predicting the child grid. At the boundaries of the domain, the pattern adaptive prediction can be coupled with the domain adaptive prediction technique.
