Abstract:
A method (100, 200) and device (300, 400, 600) for containing and concealing errors occurring in a transmitted video bitstream is disclosed. Using a plurality of predetermined scanning patterns (500), particular macroblocks are chosen per frame to be transmitted as intra-macroblocks. Degradation of visual quality that is due to an extended error burst is efficiently limited (110). Concealment of areas within a video sequence that are affected by short error bursts and/or random errors is achieved by estimating lost macroblock information using remaining uncorrupted macroblocks (112, 200). For each such lost macroblock, predictions of the intensity information are generated using candidate motion vectors from selected uncorrupted neighboring macroblocks (208), and the candidate motion vector that produces the least mean-squared difference between luminance values at the boundary between the predicted macroblock and the neighboring macroblocks is selected for the concealment (210).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method (100, 700), device (400, 800) and microprocessor (500) for performing a computationally efficient iterative expansion of a displaced frame difference, DFD, image over a predetermined dictionary of modulated Gaussian functions for the purposes of video compression. The iterative expansion described in this invention decomposes the DFD image into a set of coefficients which represent the perceptually important areas of a video frame in a compact way. The resulting method, device and microprocessor serve to provide a means for very low bit rate coding/decoding of a video sequence.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and electronic device for processing video data are disclosed. A video capture mechanism (202) may capture the video data. A key frame extractor (204) may extract a key frame from the video data automatically based on a set of criteria. A video encoder (206) may encode the video data with a key frame identifier.
