摘要:
A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment detect that a first packet is not received, add a place holder for the first packet in a buffer, request retransmission of the first packet, and create an estimated packet based on a combination of a second packet previous to the first packet, a third packet following the first packet, and a fourth packet from a previous frame that is spatially corresponding to the first packet. In another embodiment, a method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium are provided that send a encoded packet to a receiver, save the encoded packet in a bitstream, determine whether the encoded packet is lost, and when the encoded packet is lost, decode the bitstream with the lost packet omitted and insert a reconstructed frame associated with the lost packet into a reference frame storage. In another embodiment, when the encoded packet is lost, a decoder is run on a reference frame chosen as the last uncorrupted frame. In another embodiment, when the encoded packet is lost, the decoder is run on a frame chosen from a set of previously stored reference frames.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine at least one capability of a transfer of data, set at least one parameter that affects performance of the transfer to an initial state based on the capability, detect performance of the transfer, and modify the parameter based on the performance. In this way, the data transfer can adapt to changing capabilities of the network and the devices that send and receive the data.

Methods for pre-processing video sequences prior to compression to provide data reduction of the video sequence. Also, after compression of the pre-processed video sequence, the bit rate of the pre-processed and compressed video sequence will be lower than the bit rate of the video sequence after compression but without pre-processing. Pre-processing may include spatial anisotropic diffusion filtering such as Perona-Malik filtering, Fallah-Ford filtering, or omni-directional filtering that extends Perona-Malik filtering to perform filtering in at least one diagonal direction. Pre-processing may also include performing filtering differently on a foreground region than on a background region of a video frame. This method includes identifying pixel locations having pixel values matching characteristics of human skin and determining a bounding shape for each contiguous grouping of matching pixel locations. The foreground region is comprised of pixel locations contained in a bounding shape and the background region is comprised of all other pixel locations.

Methods for pre-processing video sequences prior to compression to provide data reduction of the video sequence. In addition, after compression of the pre-processed video sequence, the bit rate of the pre-processed and compressed video sequence will be lower than the bit rate of the video sequence after compression but without pre-processing. A temporal filtering method is provided for pre-processing of video frames of a video sequence. In the method, pixel values of successive frames are filtered when the difference in the pixel values between the successive frames are within high and low threshold values. The high and low threshold values are determined adaptively depending on the illumination level of a video frame to provide variability of filtering strength depending on the illumination levels of a video frame.
