Abstract:
An apparatus for interactive television that employs immersive video is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a camera and immersive camera is used to capture a scene of interest. Video signals from both cameras are modulated and broadcast by a television station. Ultimately, a video is presented as the major picture on a television screen, while an immersive video is presented as an inset, and vice versa.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a lossless image streaming system for the transmission of images over a communication network. The system eliminates the necessity to store a compressed version of the original image, by losslessly streaming ROI data using the original stored image. The imaging system of the present invention also avoids the computationally intensive task of compression of the full image. When a user (110) wishes to interact with a remote image, the imaging server (120) performs a fast preprocessing step in near real time after which it can respond to any ROI requests also in near real time. When a ROI request arrives at the server, a sophisticated progressive image encoding algorithm is performed, but not for the full image. Instead, the encoding algorithm is performed only for the ROI. Since the size of the ROI is bounded by the size and resolution of the viewing device at the client and not by the size of the image, only a small portion of the full progressive coding computation is performed for a local area of the original image.
Abstract:
It consists of a device composed of great blocks (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) which, being incorporated to a conventional TV set, enables the printing of the image shown on the screen by a conventional printer (13), upon the user's command, and a possible solution makes use of analog/digital converter (6), random access memory (7), processor (9) and suitable interfaces (8, 10, 11 and 12).
Abstract:
A method for adaptive streaming of video is described, wherein the method comprises: transmitting first metadata to a client apparatus, the first metadata defining a first adaptation set, an adaptation set defining one or more sets of segment identifiers, each set of segment identifiers defining a plurality of linearly playable media segments of a predetermined resolution, each media segment in a set of media segments having an identical playback duration, the first metadata enabling a client apparatus to request media segments and sequentially playout the media segments; receiving navigation information from the client apparatus, the navigation information defining at least a first region, in the video frames of the first adaptation set; selecting second metadata defining a second adaptation set on the basis of spatial playback information and a spatial distance or a spatial overlap between the first region and a second region in video frames of the first adaptation set, wherein the spatial playback information signals the server apparatus that the second region is linked to media segments of the second adaptation set; and, transmitting the second metadata or information for retrieving the second metadata to the client apparatus, the second metadata enabling the client apparatus to playback media segments of the second adaptation set after the playback of media segments of the first adaptation set.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a display apparatus, control system for the display apparatus, and a method for controlling the display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive content, a display configured to display the received content, a communicator configured to communicate with a user device and an external server. The display apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire information from the user device through the communicator, to request the external server to send additional information related to the received content based on the received content and the information, and to display, when receiving the additional information related to the received content from the external server, the received additional information with the received content.
Abstract:
A method for tiling with a set of tiles a sphere representing a spherical multimedia content, comprises: - obtaining (402) an altitude for each parallel line of the sphere comprising one or several centroids of the tiles, each tile being defined as a portion of the sphere covering a tile horizontal angular amplitude and a tile vertical angular amplitude; - obtaining (403) an angular position for each centroid of the tiles arranged on the parallel lines; - determining (404) transformations to be applied to a reference tile to obtain the tiles of the set of tiles, each of the transformations depending on the obtained altitude and angular position of the centroid of a corresponding tile to be obtained.
Abstract:
A method of morphing multiple video streams into a single video stream is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving video streams at an encoding device, each multiple video stream is formed by video frames; encoding the video frames for each video stream at multiple bitrates to form multiple resolution qualities for each video stream; and combining streams for the multiple resolution qualities of the video streams to form a video bunch frame stream. An apparatus for morphing multiple video streams into a single video stream is also provided. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions is also provided. When executed by a computer or processor, the program instructions cause the apparatus to perform the method.
Abstract:
본 발명의 터치 감지 디스플레이 장치는 터치 스크린과, 압력 감지 수단과 제어부를 구비한다. 터치 스크린은, 디스플레이 소자와, 화면 상의 접촉을 감지하는 터치 감지 소자를 구비한다. 제어부는 접촉지점의 압력에 따라 화면을 제어한다. 제어부는, 임계압력 이상으로 세게 눌려진 접촉지점의 위치를 고려하여 화면을 이동시키거나 해상도를 갱신하거나 화면의 배율을 추가적으로 조절한다. 본 발명의 다른 실시예에서, 사용자가 화면 상의 한 지점('접촉지점')을 임계압력 이상으로 누르면 접촉지점의 위치에 대응하여 3차원 벡터 화상의 시점을 조절하여 표시한다. 본 발명에 따르면 벡터 이미지에서의 조작이 보다 간편해진다.
