摘要:
A de-blocking filter processing apparatus that achieves high picture quality without consuming processing apparatus power unnecessarily. A loop filter 170 used as a de-blocking filter processing apparatus first acquires a variable-size motion estimation block in a frame for which motion estimation processing is performed. Then, de-blocking filter processing is applied adaptively to a frame for which motion estimation processing is performed, in accordance with the acquired motion estimation block. Application of de-blocking filter processing is executed only at a boundary between a particular motion estimation block and a motion estimation block adjacent to that motion estimation block in a frame for which motion estimation processing is performed.

An audio and video communications apparatus eliminates a system clock frequency difference, freeing a user from unconformable feeling of audio and video. The audio and video communications apparatus includes: a transmitting unit and a receiving unit (106/108) transmitting and receiving audio and video via a network; a PTS correction timing determining unit (111) determining timing to update a correction amount of a PTS according to information of the audio or the video to be transmitted and received, the PTS being given to the received audio or the received video; a PTS correcting unit (112) correcting the PTS by updating the correction amount at the timing determined by the PTS correction timing determining unit (111); and an audio and video output unit (113) outputting the received audio and the received video corresponding to the corrected PTS found at a current time indicated by the audio and video communications apparatus.
摘要:
A picture combining apparatus that automatically displays a picture important to a user, and moreover displays that important picture combined in a screen configuration that is highly appealing visually. In this apparatus, a picture input section 102 inputs images making up a picture on an image-by-image basis, and a picture accumulation section 110 accumulates input pictures. A trigger generation section 104 that generates a trigger indicating the importance of a picture, and a combining trigger calculation section 106 calculates a combining trigger for calculating screen combining parameters using that trigger. A screen configuration calculation section 108 determines the presence or absence of screen combining using a combining trigger and calculates a screen configuration (more specifically, screen combining parameters). A sub image creation section 112 creates an image (sub image) to be used in combination with an input image (main image), and an image information adding section 114 adds image information of a sub image to that sub image. A screen combining section 116 combines a plurality of images (main and sub images) in one screen.

A moving image receiving apparatus has a moving image decoding apparatus (303) for decoding received moving image data. The moving image decoding apparatus (303) comprises: a media buffer (401) for storing moving image data; an intra-map memory (402) for storing an intra-map indicating a location of an intrablock included in an interframe of the moving image data; a pseudo intraframe generator (404) that, based on an intra-map stored in the intra-map memory (402), extracts an image of an intrablock included in an interframe in order from a latest interframe accumulated in the media buffer (401), combines images of intrablocks extracted from a plurality of interframes, and thereby generates a pseudo intraframe; and a decoder (406) that starts to decode moving image data, using a pseudo intraframe. The moving image receiving apparatus can thus decode received moving image data from an arbitrary frame.

摘要:
When a switching target device receives a media output indication from a sender device, a switch (401) connects with contact B, which causes all image data stored in an extended media buffer (402) to be inputted in a decoder (201), starting from the first frame (which is an I-frame) of the image data. The decoder (201) decodes the image data, starting from the I-frame, and stores a reconstructed image in a reconstructed-image buffer (202). A reconstructed image required for decoding video picture data outputted from a media buffer (2108) is held in the reconstructed-image buffer (202). Thus, when device switching occurs, the decoder (201) can immediately start decoding regardless of whether video picture data inputted from the media buffer (2108) is an intraframe.
摘要:
A video transmission system, a video transmitting apparatus, a video receiving apparatus, and a video transmission method whereby, when a plurality of terminals whose characteristics differ receive video simultaneously, each terminal can receive video with quality appropriate for that terminal. In this system, a video transmitting apparatus (100) divides layered-coded data by quality and bit rate by means of a channel division section (106), and transmits data on separate channels from a video transmitting section (108) after adding priorities calculated by a priority calculation section (112). Video transmitting apparatus (100) also groups channels by quality and calculates a group list by means of a group list calculation section (114), and transmits this group list from a group list transmitting section (116).
摘要:
Image coding equipment wherein no sense of incongruity occurs when domains whose image quality should be improved are selected. To the domains selected with the domain selection section 111, the gradual coding parameter calculation section 112 computes the quantization values so that the quality of image may improve gradually toward the central part from the outside of the selected domain, and a picture is coded based on the value of such a parameter.
