    摘要: A method of mounting a volume from a tape medium on a tape drive apparatus. The method reads a bar-code indicating the volume from a tape cartridge, attaches the tape cartridge to a tape drive, and detects the current track position on the basis of a longitudinal track. The method then determines whether a beginning volume label or a last used area volume label is nearer to the current track position, reads the nearer volume label from the tape medium, confirms the volume by comparing the nearer volume label with the bar-code, and mounts the volume onto the tape drive.

    摘要: An image processing method for image conversion by combining two or more source values based on a mixing parameter to generate an output pixel value. A metric is calculated for a selected pixel at a given image field based on the directly preceding image field and a spatially interpolated version of the given image field at the selected pixel position. The selected pixel is categorized based on the metric as providing an indeterminate, unreliable, or reliable basis for a determination of motion at that pixel. The mixing parameter for the selected pixel is adjusted based on the categorization of the pixel.

    摘要: An encoding apparatus operable to encode video data representing successive images, each image including a plurality of pixels. The apparatus includes a differential encoder arranged to encode each image as one or more predetermined image regions. Each image is being encoded as a reference value and at least one differential pixel value. The differential pixel value(s) are derived in dependence on the reference value and/or other differential pixel value(s) in accordance with an order of encoding dependency; in which, for each image region, the differential encoder is operable in a first encoding mode for a first subset of the images to encode the image region using a first order of encoding dependency and in a second encoding mode for a second, different, subset of the images to encode the image region using a second, different, order of encoding dependency. The first and second subsets of images are arranged with respect to one another so that, from image to image, each image region is encoded in accordance with a predetermined sequence of orders of encoding dependency.
