Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing bandedge equalization. Specifically, the apparatus contains a pre-equalizer (300, 302) for adjusting the amplitudes of the bandedges of a broadband signal in response to a control signal. A bandedge filter (312, 314) is connected to the pre-equalizer (300, 302) and extracts a bandedge signal from the broadband signal. Lastly, a bandedge signal processor (315) that is connected to the bandedge filter (312, 314) generates the control signal in response to said bandedge signal. In this manner, when the bandedges of the broadband signal are asymmetric, the apparatus adjusts the signal strength of each bandedge with respect to one another to equalize (balance) the bandedges. The balanced signal can then be used by a bandedge timing recovery circuit. As such, the accuracy of a bandedge timing recovery circuit is not impacted by the asymmetric bandedges of the input signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assessing the visibility of differences between two input image sequences. The apparatus comprises a visual discrimination measure (112) having a retinal sampling section (330), a plurality of temporal filters (334, 335) and a spatial discrimination section (240). The retinal sampling section (330) applies a plurality of transformations to the input image sequences (310, 320) for simulating the image-processing properties of human vision. The temporal filters (334, 335) separate the sequences of retinal images into two temporal channels producing a lowpass temporal response and a bandpass temporal response. The spatial discrimination section (240) applies spatial processing to the temporal responses to produce an image metric (250) which is used to assess the visibility of differences between the two input image sequences.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting encoding parameters in accordance with a perceptual metric derived from analyzing the contents of an image or video being coded (104). Namely, the perceptual metric is produced (112) by comparing an original image (102) (or image sequence) to a reconstructed image (110) (or image sequence) and processing the comparison results using a quantitative perceptual difference measure (112). The difference measure results in a perceptual metric representing the "fidelity" of the reconstructed image. The metric is used to control the encoding parameters (108) such that the coding of the image can be iteratively adjusted. Furthermore, the method and apparatus is used to provide an automated steerable image compression system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a geometric relationship between the image motion of pairs of points over multiple image frames representing a three-dimensional scene. This relationship is based on the parallax motion of points with respect to an arbitrary planar surface, and does not involve epipolar geometry. A constraint is derived over two frames (504) for any pair of points (506), relating their projective structure (with respect to the plane) based only on their image coordinates and their parallax displacements. Similarly, a 3D-rigidity constraint between pairs of points over multiple frames is derived. Applications disclosed for these parallax-based constraints include recovery of 3D scene structure (512), detection of moving objects in the presence of camera induced motion (510), and synthesis of new camera views based on a given set of views (514). Moreover, the approach can handle difficult situations for 3D scene analysis, e.g., where there is only a small set of parallax vectors, and in the presence of independently moving objects.

Abstract: The scene change detector compares predicted macroblocks from an anchor image (140) to input macroblocks from an input image (120) on a macroblock-by-macroblock basis to generate a residual macroblock (142) representing the difference between each predicted macroblock (P) and each input macroblock (I). A variance (146) for each residual macroblock and a variance (148) for each input macroblock is computed after each comparison. The residual variance is compared to the input macroblock variance. Whenever the variance of the residual macroblock exceeds the variance of the input macroblock, a counter (152) is incremented. The scene cut detector repeats this process until each macroblock in the predicted image is compared to each input macroblock. If the count value ever exceeds a threshold level (154) while an input image is being processed, the scene cut detector sets a scene cut indicator flag.
