Abstract:
A modified Colorstripe copy protection process utilizes a basic anti-copy protection (ACP) signal that causes attenuation of a video signal, wherein, in one embodiment, the process modifies (lowers) the level of a front porch portion and adds an incorrect color signal (color burst) in the region of the sync tip. When an illegal copy is made, a pre-blanked end of line portion causes a TV set to trigger the color burst sample pulse ahead of time and cause the incorrect color signal in the sync tip region to be sampled. Thus, since the sync tip region has incorrect color phase or frequency, the resulting illegal copy will have enhanced color distortions. In other embodiments, other portions of the horizontal blanking interval are lowered in level and incorrect color bursts are added to a portion or portions of the back porch and/or portion of the front porch. The various embodiments of the process may include an adaptable process, as well as several alternative ACP signals for use in combination with the process.
Abstract:
A video object is recorded on an optical disc. The video object is composed of at least one video object unit, and each video object unit contains control information and video data and has a presentation time of one second or shorter. The control information relates to display control and copying control for the video object unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus and methods for estimating a chromaticity of illumination from raw image data. In an embodiment, one or more image chromaticity weight is determined based on a distance between the raw image data in a sensor chromaticity space and a nearest point within a locus of sensor illumination chromaticities. In a further embodiment, one or more image chromaticity weight is determined based on a disparity among normalized color channel values. In certain embodiments, image chromaticity estimates are utilized to determine a white point estimate for the raw image data. In embodiments, an electronic device including a camera estimates the chromaticity value of raw image data captured by the camera as part of an AWB pipeline. The electronic device may further determine, for example as part of the AWB pipeline, a white point estimate based, at least in part, on the raw image data chromaticity value estimate(s).

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for editing an image including dynamic tone metadata in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display, and at least one processor operatively connected to the display, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to generate a third image to be inserted between a first image and a second image continuous with the first image among a plurality of images belonging to video content, generate dynamic tone metadata of the third image based on dynamic tone metadata of the first image and the second image, and update the video content by adding the third image and the dynamic tone metadata of the third image.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for facilitating environment-based lossy compression of data. A method of embodiments includes collecting, in real time, sensory input data relating to characteristics of at least one of a user and a surrounding environment, evaluating the sensory input data to mark one or more data portions of data relating to contents, the one or more data portions are determined to be suitable for compression based on the sensory input data, dynamically performing, in real time, the compression of the one or more data portions, the compression triggers loss of one or more content portions of the contents corresponding to the one or more data portions of the data, and rendering the contents to be displayed missing the one or more content portions, the missing of the one or more content portions from the contents is not apparent to the user viewing the contents via a display device.
