    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for parallel computing of a line of sight (LoS) map (e.g., view-shed) in a parallel computing system. For example, a method for computing an LoS map comprises the following steps. Data representing at least one image is obtained. An observation point in the at least one image is identified. A portion of the data that is associated with a given area in the image is partitioned into a plurality of sub-areas. The plurality of sub-areas are assigned to a plurality of processor elements of a parallel computing system, respectively, such that the data associated with each one of the plurality of sub-areas is processed independent from the data associated with each other of the plurality of sub-areas, wherein results of the processing by the processor elements represents the LoS map. The parallel computing system may be a multicore processor.

    摘要: The present invention relates to computer-based systems and methods for visual signal extrapolation or interpolation based on statistic similarity estimation. Specifically, a first and a second reference pictures are provided, and motion estimation is conducted on the first and second reference pictures to generate motion vectors indicative of movement of at least one of the first and second reference pictures in relation to the other. Subsequently, an estimate picture is generated by extrapolation or interpolation from the first and/or the second reference picture using the motion vectors, followed by optional refinement of the estimate picture. Statistic similarity estimation is used either in motion estimation or in refining the estimate picture, or a combination of both, so as to provide improved visual signals.

    摘要: A real-time MPEG video coding system with information look-ahead for constant bit rate (CBR) applications, such as, for example, Video-on-Demand (VoD) over ADSL. This scheme employs two MPEG encoders. The second encoder has a buffer to delay the input by an amount of time relative to the first encoder to create a look-ahead window. In encoding, the first encoder collects the information of statistics and rate-quality characteristics. An on-line information processor then uses the collected information to derive the best coding strategy for the second encoder to encode the incoming frames in the look-ahead window. The second encoder uses the encoding parameters from the processor as the coding guide to execute the coding strategy and generate the final bitstream.
