    摘要: The color tone compensation method provides a simple and efficient method to compensate the color tone differences between two different sources of images. A first image sample, such as a still image, from a first image capturing source and a second image sample, such as a video frame, from a second image capturing source are aligned, and a tone-mapping estimation routine is applied to the two aligned images. The tone-mapping estimation routine uses the pixel intensity value histograms associated with the two aligned images and generates a tone mapping table. The tone mapping table includes a conversion intensity value for each intensity value in the second image. The conversion intensity value is a statistical measure, such as the mean, calculated according to the data in the corresponding pixel intensity value histogram. The tone-mapping table is applied to any image generated by the second image capturing source, thereby generating a new image with similar color tone as the first image generated by the first image capturing source.

    摘要: Compression of graphics images and videos includes partitioning an image into blocks, determining the number of bitplanes for encoding each block, encoding the block by grouping pixel values so that within each group, the pixel values are the same or similar, sending the number of bitplanes, sending the number of groups and the pixel value of each group and sending a signal for each pixel to indicate the group for that pixel, as well as using leftover bits from a bit budget for sending refinement bits for pixels.

    摘要: Dual-mode compression of images/videos for reliable real-time transmission includes a scalable block-based video compression. The method provides graceful quality degradations in case of channel bandwidth changes. Prediction for encoding is avoided, and the process is less complex with less memory requirements. The method involves processing each block independently with the advantage that errors are not able to propagate beyond current block boundaries. Two different encoding modes are used, natural image coding for acquired images and graphics coding for computer generated images. The proper encoding mode is chosen by comparing performance of the two modes for a particular block to be encoded. An embedded bitstream is generated by the encoder in accordance to the available channel bandwidth.
