摘要: A scene-aware auto-exposure control process stabilizes changes in a camera's auto-exposure settings so as to reduce lighting and color flicker during image capture operations. A metric, referred to as the Modified Adjusted Luminance (MAL) metric, is defined to remain relatively constant as long as the lighting of the scene being captured remains relatively constant. Thus, scene changes such as an object moving into, out of, or around in a scene do not significantly affect the MAL metric's value and do not, therefore, trigger an exposure adjustment. Once the MAL metric indicates a scene's lighting is stable, the camera's auto-exposure operation may be suppressed. As long as incoming frames indicate a stable lighting condition (based on the MAL metric), auto-exposure operation may remain suppressed. When incoming frames result in a substantially different MAL over a specified number of frames, auto-exposure operation may be restored.

摘要: In a video coding system, an encoder may include a coding engine to predictively code input video, a decoder to reconstruct reference pictures generated by the coding engine, a reference picture cache to store the reconstructed reference pictures, a patch cache to store prediction patches generated from other sources, and a prediction search unit to search among the reference picture cache and the patch cache to generate prediction references for use by the coding engine while coding input video. The prediction patches may be assembled from a variety of sources including: predefined image content, reference pictures being evicted from the reference picture cache, image content of prior coding sessions and image data stored by applications on a common terminal where the encoder resides. A decoder may store prediction patches in its own patch cache for synchronous decoding.

摘要: A video coding system and method for increasing a transmitted output bit rate of a video encoding system by altering the content of the bit stream. A video encoder may receive a coding mode signal from a computer application for coding source video data, the coding mode signal indicating a target bit rate having a risk factor related to transmission error associated to the target bit rate. The coded bitstream may be modified based on the risk factor indicated in the coding mode signal. A modified coded bitstream may be outputted at the target bit rate and at a reduced coding efficiency, and the channel may be tested for transmission errors. Based on the test results, a revised coding mode signal indicating the same target bit rate, but a revised risk factor may be provided. The coded bitstream may be revised by removing the modifications previously made to the coded bitstream and a revised coded bitstream having greater coding efficiency may be output at the target bit rate.

摘要: Systems and methods for streaming video over multiple HTTP channels are provided. The client may have control over the channels, allowing the client to control the amount and source of data received. Data requested by the client may be separated into a set of layers, with each layer being assigned to a separate channel. The client may adjust the number of layers requested based on a variety of factors. Layers may be requested from multiple remote sources, providing the client with additional control over the specific bandwidth profile of received data.
