System and method of generating compressed video graphics images

Abstract: A hybrid system for synthesizing a compressed video bitstream from a dynamic 3-D model has been realized. The video bitstream represents an image sequence comprised of a plurality of image frames which are sequential in time and in which each image frame is partitioned into a set of regions. Motion vectors are generated for each region within a current image frame which represent the dynamic 3-D model. A prediction error is computed for each region based on the generated motion vectors. The type of encoding to be performed on each region in a succeeding image frame is determined based on the value of the prediction error. Each region in the succeeding image frame is encoded as indicated by the determined encoding type.

Interframe motion predicting method and picture signal coding/decoding apparatus

Abstract: An interframe motion predicting method for prediction of the motion in a bidirectionally predictive-coded frame from an intra-coded frame and a predictive-coded frame, predicts the motion in another bidirectionally predictive-coded frame from the preceding bidirectionally predictive-coded frame and the predictive-coded frame. A picture signal coding apparatus executes orthogonal transformation of a picture signal, then quantizes the transformed data, and codes the data thus quantized. The apparatus includes a local decoder for the quantized data; first and second memories for storing the decoded picture data of an intra-coded or bidirectionally predictive-coded frame, and a predictive-coded frame respectively; a predictive picture generator for generating a predictive picture of a second bidirectionally predictive-coded frame; and a difference calculator for calculating the difference between the predictive picture and the original picture signal corresponding thereto. A picture signal decoding apparatus includes inverse multiplexer for separating the coded data into interframe predictive error data and vector coded data; a decoder for generating decoded picture data on the basis of such error data; first and second memories for storing the decoded picture data of the intra-coded frame and the predictive-coded frame respectively; a predictive picture generator for generating a predicted picture of a second bidirectionally predictive-coded frame; and a frame switching selector for selectively rearranging the decoded picture data in the order of reproduction.

Video encoding method and decoding method, apparatuses therefor, programs therefor, and storage media which store the programs

Abstract: A video encoding method includes selecting a reference vector target frame and a reference frame from among already-encoded frames; encoding information for designating each frame; setting a reference vector for indicating an area in the reference vector target frame with respect to an encoding target area; encoding the reference vector; performing a corresponding area search by using image information of a reference vector target area, which belongs to the reference vector target frame and is indicated by the reference vector, and the reference frame; determining a reference area in the reference frame based on the search result; generating a predicted image by using image information of the reference frame, which corresponds to the reference area; and encoding differential information between image information of the encoding target area and the predicted image.

Quality control in frame interpolation with motion analysis

Abstract: Techniques and tools for quality control in frame interpolation and motion analysis are described. The techniques and tools may be implemented separately or in combination in software and/or hardware devices for various applications. For example, a media playback device uses quality control in frame interpolation with motion analysis to increase the frame rate of streamed video for playback. The device selectively uses frame synthesis to increase frame rate and quality under normal circumstances, but avoids using frame synthesis when it would not provide suitable quality improvement. The device uses selective ghosting reduction and selective feathering to reduce artifacts in synthesized frames.

Weighted and controlled frames: Mutual relationship and first numerical properties

Abstract: Weighted and controlled frames have been introduced recently to improve the numerical efficiency of iterative algorithms for inverting the frame operator. In this paper, we develop systematically these notions, including their mutual relationship. We will show that controlled frames are equivalent to standard frames and so this concept gives a generalized way to check the frame condition, while offering a numerical advantage in the sense of preconditioning. Next, we investigate weighted frames, in particular their relation to controlled frames. We consider the special case of semi-normalized weights, where the concepts of weighted frames and standard frames are interchangeable. We also make the connection with frame multipliers. Finally, we analyze weighted frames numerically. First, we investigate three possibilities for finding weights in order to tighten a given frame, i.e. decrease the frame bound ratio. Then, we examine Gabor frames and how well the canonical dual of a weighted frame is approximated by the inversely weighted dual frame.
