摘要:
In an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system, an IPTV server is configured to receive a request from an IPTV content storage device (CSD) to view a video stream. The IPTV server selects a set of peers for the IPTV CSD, and transmits the set of peers to the IPTV CSD. In the system, a capacity of a fiber to the node (FTTN) switch in a down linking direction is greater than or equal to a sum of a number of simultaneous viewers supported by the FTTN switch plus a number of viewers that receive video streams from peers in the same community.

A method and apparatus for utilizing temporal prediction and motion compensated prediction to accomplish multiple description video coding is disclosed. An encoder receives a sequence of video frames and divides each frame into non-overlapping macromacroblocks. Each macromacroblock is then encoded using either an intraframe mode (I-mode) or a prediction mode (P-mode) technique. Both the I-mode and the P-mode encoding techniques produce an output for each of n channels used to transmit the encoded video data to a decoder.

摘要:
A method for detecting aliasing artifacts includes receiving a second image that has been converted from a first image and evaluating the second image using a computer to detect aliasing artifacts due to the conversion, where the evaluation is performed without reference to the first image. The second image is a different size than the first image The second image is evaluated by identifying patches in the image that are likely to contain strong directional energy with few distractions and to estimate a direction component for each of the identified patches. The total energy of each patch is partitioned into an estimated signal energy and an estimated aliasing energy. The estimated aliasing energy and the estimated signal energy of each of the identified patches are combined to obtain an estimate of the aliasing artifacts in the image.

One of the at least n+1 P-mode prediction error signals is encoded such that it may be utilized to reconstruct the original sequence of video frames regardless of the number of channels received by the decoder. A component of the one of the at least n+1 P-mode prediction error signals is sent on each of the n channels. Each of the remaining at least n+1 P-mode prediction error signals is sent on a separate one of the n channels (along with the above mentioned component). These remaining at least n+1 P-mode prediction error signals are encoded such that, when combined with the component of the one P-mode prediction error signal which was sent on the same channel, a reasonably good reconstruction of the original sequence of video frames may be obtained if the number of received channels is between 1 and n−1.
