摘要:
A method determines distortion in a video by measuring a spatial distortion in coded frames, and by measuring a temporal distortion and spatial distortion in uncoded frames. The spatial distortion of the coded frames is combined with the temporal distortion and the spatial distortion of the uncoded frames to determine a total average distortion in the video.

A method estimates rate and distortion characteristics of a video object. First and second object shape features are respectively extracted at a first and second resolution of the video object. First and second rate distortion characteristics of the video object are respectively determined from the extracted first and second object shape features according to first and second modeling parameters. The extracted object shape features can be discrete, such as states of binary shape patterns of the video object, or the object shape features can be continuous such as a set of statistical moments representing a probability density function of the video object.

A method encodes a video as video objects. For each candidate object, a quantizer parameter and a skip parameter that jointly minimizes an average total distortion in the video are determined while satisfying predetermined constraints. The average total distortion includes spatial distortion of coded objects and spatial and temporal distortion of uncoded objects. Then, the candidate objects is encoded as the coded objects with the quantizer parameter and the skip parameter, and the candidate objects is skipped as the uncoded objects with the skip parameter.
摘要:
A compressed bitstream is scaled down to a reduced rate bitstream by first demultiplexing a compressed input bitstream to extract video objects as elementary input bitstreams having a first bit rate. A transcoder converts each elementary input bitstream to an elementary output bitstream having a second bit rate. The first bit rate is less than the second bit rate. A transcoding control unit, coupled to the transcoder, supplies control information for the transcoder. A multiplexer composes the elementary output bitstreams into a compressed output bitstream having the second bit rate.
摘要:
A method estimates bit rates for sets of coding parameters, based on characteristics of a channel, and an end-to-end distortion is estimated based on signal statistics of the video. A particular set of coding parameters that satisfies an available bit rate of the channel and that minimizes the end-to-end distortion of the video is selected. Motion compensated multiple descriptions of the video are encoded according to the selected set of coding parameters.

A method encodes a video by applying a dual-tree discrete wavelet transform to the video to generate sequences of wavelet coefficients. The sequences are compressed to produce a compressed bitstream corresponding to the video. The compression iteratively selects the wavelet coefficients in a large to small order, and entropy encodes the selected wavelet coefficient.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for measuring molecular diffusivity in porous powders or minerals, e.g., the microporous synthetic minerals used for gas separation and chemical catalysis, were invented that allows a varying pressure in the gas around the powder during the measurement. This obviates the need for the pressure to be constant and the attendant complicated component parts. A mass balance model equation of the sample cell with the diffusivity as an adjustable parameter is used to deduce the sample cell pressure change versus time (uptake curve) until the equilibration of gas diffusion into the powder. A numerical analysis method is used to solve the mathematical model to compute a simulated uptake curve. Curve fitting of the simulated and measured uptake curves is used to optimize the diffusivity parameter, which gives the measured diffusivity. The apparatus and method are simple, easy to use, and automation is also simple.
摘要:
An example video encoder uses a self-adaptive dictionary that only depends on the block location, without requiring real time design/redesign of the dictionary. A mean-removed block may be directly represented using a redundant dictionary including all possible inter-prediction candidates with integer motion vectors (mean-removed). In general the dictionary may also contain some intra-prediction candidates and some pre-designed fixed dictionary atoms. The coefficients may be determined by minimizing the L0 norm of the coefficients subject to a constraint on the sparse approximation error. Using such a self-adaptive dictionary can lead to a very sparse representation, with significantly fewer non-zero coefficients than using the DCT transform on the prediction error. Some example embodiments consistent with the present invention use a modified orthogonal matching pursuit (“OMP”) algorithm to orthonormalize each new chosen atom with respect to all previously chosen and orthonormalized atoms. Each image block is represented by the quantized coefficients corresponding to the orthonormalized atoms.
