Apparatus and methods for embedding metadata into video stream

David Newman
TLDR
In this paper, the metadata is stored in a track in a self-describing structure and the metadata track may be decoded using an identifier reference table that is substantially smaller than typical fourCC identifier tables.
Abstract
Apparatus and methods for combining metadata with video into a video stream using a 32-bit aligned payload, that is computer storage efficient and human discernable. The metadata is stored in a track in a self-describing structure. Metadata track may be decoded using an identifier reference table that is substantially smaller than typical fourCC identifier tables. The combined metadata/video stream is compatible with a standard video stream convention and may be played using conventional media player applications that reads media files compliant with MP4/MOV container format. The proposed format may enable decoding of metadata during streaming, partitioning of combined video stream without loss of metadata. The proposed format and/or metadata protocol provides for temporal synchronization of metadata with video frames.

Watermarking digital images to increase bit depth

TL;DR: Watermark data is converted to watermark coefficients, which may be embedded in an image by converting the image to a frequency domain, embedding the watermark in image coefficients corresponding to medium-frequency components, and converting the modified coefficients to the spatial domain this article.

Method and system for compensating for parallax in multiple camera systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a camera array captures plural component images which are combined into a single scene in one embodiment, each camera of the array is a fixed digital camera The images from each camera are warped to a common coordinate system and the disparity between overlapping images is reduced using disparity estimation techniques.

Systems and methods for suggesting meta-information to a camera user

TL;DR: In this paper, a camera captures an image and sends it to a server for image recognition processing, where the camera receives information from the server, including an indication of information to suggest to a user for meta-tagging the image.

Embedded metadata engines in digital capture devices

TL;DR: In this article, a real-time content-based analysis function in the capture device is used to extract metadata from the digital signals, which are then combined with the digital content in a container format such as MPEG-7, QuickTime, or FlashPix.
