摘要:
The present invention relates to a full-reference (FR) objective method for assessing perceptual quality of decoded video frames in the presence of packet losses and coding artifacts. A method of assessing perceptual quality is provided. First, a value indicating an amount of distortion in a corresponding portion is accessed. Then, that value is classified as packet-loss distortion or coding-artifact distortion. Next, the classified value is modified to account for visibility differences of the human visual system, based on the classification, and then the modified values are combined for the multiple portions, to form a value indicating a total amount of distortion for the multiple portions.

A method and apparatus are provided for predictive frame selection supporting enhanced efficiency and subjective quality. The apparatus includes an encoder for encoding a picture using a selection scheme that selects between encoding the picture as a single direction inter predictive picture type and a bi-directional inter predictive picture type based on coding efficiency and a determination of a flickering artifact resulting from coding the picture as the bi-directional inter predictive picture type.
摘要:
A method for accurately measuring flicker, by first determining an original value based on a difference between pixel values in corresponding locations in a first picture and a second picture. Next, a reconstructed value is determined, based on a difference between pixel values in corresponding locations in a reconstruction from an encoding of the first picture and a reconstruction from an encoding of the second picture. Then, a determination is made to include a comparison value, which is determined on a difference between the reconstructed value and the original value, in a measurement of flicker between the first picture and the second picture.
摘要:
An encoding methodology for a video encoder encodes target light change (TLC) frames in order to improve the quality of the resulting decoded video. Backward prediction is applied instead of forward prediction to the frames that are detected as TLC frames. Additionally, the last frame of the TLC activity is forced to use only intra-coding modes.

A digital A/V apparatus provides reduced channel changes times and maintains synchronization between audio and video content during a channel change event. According to an exemplary embodiment, the digital A/V apparatus includes at least one signal receiver for receiving a first audio stream, a first video stream and a second video stream, wherein the first and second video streams represent the same program and the first video stream has at least one characteristic different from the second video stream; a first audio signal processor for processing the first audio stream to generate a first processed audio stream; a first video signal processor for processing the first video stream to generate a first processed video stream; a second video signal processor for processing the second video stream to generate a second processed video stream having a delay with respect to the first processed video stream; a first buffer for buffering the first processed audio stream to provide de-jittering; a renderer for rendering the first processed audio stream and the second processed video stream in response to a channel change command; a switch for switching from the second processed video stream to the first processed video stream after the renderer begins rendering the second processed video stream, and thereby causing the renderer to begin rendering the first processed video stream; and whereby synchronization between the first processed audio stream and the first processed video stream is maintained during a channel change event.
