    摘要: A method codes an output bitstream of an input video so the decoded output bitstream has a constant perceived quality. A base layer bitstream having a constant bit-rate is generated from the input video, and an input enhancement layer bitstream is generated from a difference between the input video and the base layer bitstream. Rate and distortion characteristics are extracted from the base layer bitstream and the input enhancement layer bitstream, and an output enhancement layer bitstream having a variable bit-rate is generated from the input enhancement layer bitstream according to the rate and distortion characteristics. The base layer bitstream and the output enhancement layer bitstream, in combination, form an output bitstream having a variable bit-rate and a constant distortion.

    摘要: A method adaptively encodes a video including a sequence of images, where each image is a picture of two fields. Each image is first separated into a top-field and a bottom-field. Motion activity is extracted from the top-field and the bottom-field, and each image is encoded using either frame encoding or field encoding depending on the extracted motion activity.

    摘要: A method encodes a video by first measuring a variance of pixel intensities in a current frame. A number of bits to encode the current frame is assigned according to rate and buffer fullness constraints. A multiplier value is determined directly as a function of only the variance and the number of bits assigned to the current frame. Motion vectors between a reference frame and the current frame are estimated, and a sum of absolute difference (SAD) is based on a motion compensated residual between the reference frame and the current frame. An encoding mode is determined for each macro block in the current frame based on the sum of absolute difference, the motion vectors and the multiplier value. Then, the motion compensated residual is encoded based on the encoding mode, multiplier value and the number of allocated bits.

    摘要: Multiview videos are acquired of a scene with corresponding cameras arranged at poses, such that there is view overlap between any pair of cameras. V-frames are generated from the multiview videos. The V-frames are encoded using only spatial prediction. Then, the V-frames are inserted periodically in an encoded bit stream to provide random temporal access to the multiview videos. Additional view dependency information enables the decoding of a reduced number of frames prior to accessing randomly a target frame for a specified view and time, and decoding the target frame. The method also decodes multiview videos by maintaining a reference picture list for a current frame of a plurality of multiview videos, and predicting each current frame of the plurality of multiview videos according to reference pictures indexed by the associated reference picture list.

    摘要: A method encodes an inter-frame of a compressed video, the inter-frame including multiple macroblocks in a predetermined order. Each macroblock has an associated motion vector. For each current macroblock in the predetermined order, a set of near macroblocks are identified. An index is assigned to each near macroblock. A difference between the motion vector of the current macroblock and the motion vector of each near macroblocks is determined. The indices of the near macroblocks are then sorted in order of the differences and appended to the inter-frame.

    摘要: A system and method synthesizes multiview videos. Multiview videos are acquired of a scene with corresponding cameras arranged at a poses such that there is view overlap between any pair of cameras. A synthesized multiview video is generated from the acquired multiview videos for a virtual camera. A reference picture list is maintained for each current frame of each of the multiview videos and the synthesized video. The reference picture list indexes temporal reference pictures and spatial reference pictures of the acquired multiview videos and the synthesized reference pictures of the synthesized multiview video. Then, each current frame of the multiview videos is predicted according to reference pictures indexed by the associated reference picture list during encoding and decoding.
