Blur is one of the most important features related to video quality. Accurate estimating the blur level of a video is a great help to accurately evaluate the video quality. An improved method is provided for estimating the blur level of videos that are compressed by a block based codec, such as H.264/AVC, MPEG2, etc. According to the invention, local blur detection is based on macroblock (MB) edges, a content dependent weighting scheme is employed to decrease the influence from texture and when detecting local blur, the spreading of detection will stop at local minimum and maximum luminance positions.

The invention relates to a method and a device for automatic prediction of a current value using a weighted average of a number of current reference values, wherein the current value is associated with a current pair consisting of a first and a second current data tuple. The method comprises using a set of reference pairs, each reference pair consisting of a first and a second reference data tuple and being associated with a reference value, for selecting the current reference values wherein the first reference data tuples, the first current data tuple and a first metric is used for selecting, determining, for each current reference value, an associated weight using the second reference data tuples of the pair associated with the respective selected reference value, the second current data tuple and a second metric, and using the current reference values and the determined weights for determining the weighted average.

Accurately estimating the image quality of video is still difficult, especially when there is no reference video available. A method for determining a quality measure for a video image comprises selecting a measuring point, such as a MB, determining a context area around the measuring point, calculating a variance of pixel values in the context area, calculating a variance of pixel values in the measuring point, calculating a relation between the two variances of pixel values, and averaging said relations for a plurality of measuring points, wherein a quality measure for a video image is obtained.

An adaptive video presentation method for automatically presenting a video with stream-embed information based on content analysis of the video on a smaller display with a limited screen size is provided. The method comprises steps of determining a salient object group containing at least one salient object based on perceptual interest value of macroblocks for each frame of said video, extracting a window having a minimum size containing the salient object group for a scene of the video, characterized in that it further comprises steps of comparing size of the extracted window with the smaller display size; and presenting at least a selected area of the extracted window containing at least a part of the salient object group for the scene on the smaller display in different operation modes based on the result of the comparison steps for different motion mode for the scene of the video.

When for video coding Intra refresh is used, which inserts Intra coded blocks into previously Inter coded pictures, an efficiently adapted rate control method is required for error resilient video coding. A method for adaptively determining a bit budget for encoding video pictures comprises pre-analyzing each of the pictures of a group of pictures, wherein a relative complexity index is calculated for each picture, allocating bits to the pictures based on their relative complexity index and encoding each of the pictures with the allocated number of bits. The pre-analysis comprises selecting pictures for Intra refresh coding, extracting attention area information from the selected pictures, encoding at least the macroblocks of the attention area using Intra mode, calculating for each picture a complexity index, and calculating from the complexity indices of the pictures of the group a relative complexity index for each picture. Thus, a subjectively better video quality is achieved.

International image or video coding standards uses hybrid coding, wherein a picture is separated into pixel blocks on which predictive coding, transform coding and entropy coding is employed. The transform coding is effective because the prediction error samples are correlated in the frequency domain. However, when the prediction quality is getting better and better, spatial domain coding becomes more effective than transform coding. According to the invention, it is first determined in which corner of a current block the first non-zero amplitude value is located. Based on the related zeros run length value in that block, a pre-defined scan path is selected, i.e. a context-based adaptive scan mode is used.
