摘要:
In a method of furnishing output motion vectors (MV′), motion vectors (MV) are retrieved (DEC) from an encoded image signal (MPEG), and the retrieved motion vectors (MV) are post-processed to obtain the output motion vectors (MV′). The post-processing includes generating (CVG) candidate motion vectors, and selecting (CVS) the output motion vectors (MV′) in dependence upon the candidate motion vectors and the retrieved motion vectors (MV).

In a method of estimating motion vectors, motion parameters (p1-p4) are determined (PC) for a given field (n−1) of a video signal; and motion vectors ( D(X, n) ) for a field (n) of said video signal are determined in dependence upon at least one predetermined motion vector ( D(x−X, y−Y, n), D(x+X, y−Y, n), D(x, y+2Y, n−1) ) and at least one additional motion vector (PV(X) derived (PG) from said motion parameters (p1-p4).

An image data recursive noise filter wherein relatively high spatial frequency components of the image data are either not filtered at all or are filtered to a lesser degree than relatively low spatial frequency components of the image data. This minimizes blurring of fine low-contrast detail and also avoids "freezing" of noise in undetailed moving areas of the image.

In a method of estimating motion, at least two motion parameter sets are generated (PE1-PEn) from input video data (n, n−1), a motion parameter set being a set of parameters describing motion in an image, by means of which motion parameter set motion vectors can be calculated. One motion parameter set indicates a zero velocity for all image parts in an image, and each motion parameter set has corresponding local match errors. Output motion data are determined from the input video data (n, n−1) in dependence on the at least two motion parameter sets, wherein the importance of each motion parameter set in calculating the output motion data depends on the motion parameter sets' local match errors.

In a method of filtering data, including the steps of processing (7) data (O) to obtain reduced data, delaying (9) the reduced data to obtain delayed data, interpolating (11, 13) the delayed data to obtain interpolated data (R), and combining (1-5) the interpolated data (R) and input data (I) to obtain filtered data (O), the interpolating step (11, 13) includes the step (13) of providing one delayed data element out of several delayed data elements in dependence upon an input data element (p).

To allow better quality rendering of video on any display, a method is proposed of encoding, in addition to video data (VID), additional data (DD), wherein the additional data includes at least one change time instant (TMA_1) indicating a change in time of a characteristic luminance (CHRLUM) of the video data, which characteristic luminance summarizes a set of luminances of pixels in an image of the video data, the method: generates on the basis of the video data (VID) descriptive data (DED) regarding the characteristic luminance variation of the video, the descriptive data comprising at least one change time instant (TMA_1), and encodes and outputs the descriptive data (DED) as additional data (DD).

A system for enhancing the appearance of an object comprises an illumination device (5) for providing enhancement illumination and a light recording device (1) for recording the reflection by the object of illumination on the object. A reference illumination is mixed (8) with the enhancement illumination. The information in the reflected light is filtered (9) to filter the reflection data (1) due to the reference illumination. These data are used for calculating the enhancement illumination in a processor (3).

A method for modifying an image being defined by a matrix of pixels comprises: •calculating (1) a color frequency distribution of the matrix of pixels; •defining (3) for each pixel an energy value as a weighted function of the color frequency of the pixel, so as to define an image saliency map; •transforming (5) the image, said transformation being based on the pixel energy values. A computer software product to apply the method, an apparatus and a TV set are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device and a method for extracting information from detected characteristic signals. A data stream (76, 78, 80, 82) derivable from electromagnetic radiation (14) emitted or reflected by an object (11) is received and a plurality of characteristic index elements (50) varying over time can be extracted therefrom. The index elements (50) comprise physiological information (48) indicative of at least one at least partially periodic vital signal (12), and a disturbing signal component (58). For eliminating the disturbing signal component (58) to a great extent, the characteristic index elements (50) can be projected to a disturbance-reduced index element (64) having a distinct orientation in relation to a presumed orientation of the disturbing signal component (58). The disturbance-reduced index element (64) is chosen so as to reflect a dominant main orientation and length of the disturbing signal component (58) over time. Consequently, the mainly genuine physiological information (48) extracted from the data stream (76, 78, 80, 82) in this way can be utilized for determining the at least one at least partially periodic vital signal (12).
摘要:
In a video processing system where motion vectors are estimated for a subset of the blocks of data forming a video frame, and motion vectors are interpolated for the remainder of the blocks of the frame, a method includes determining, for at least at least one block of the current frame for which a motion vector is not estimated (204), whether a block to the left or right has an estimated zero motion vector (206), determining whether the at least one block had an estimated zero motion vector in a previous frame (206), and if both determinations are affirmative (208), providing a predetermined motion vector for the at least one block. The predetermined motion vector may be a zero motion vector (208).
