摘要： In a video signal noise reduction system, image pixels are tracked across multiple frames and then averaged to produce respective noise reduced pixel values. A motion estimator identifies a motion block within several video frames and determines an approximate velocity vector using a trimmed square estimation procedure. Trajectory correction is applied to each pixel in the motion block based on the velocity vector in order to determine a revised trajectory for the pixels. This correction is accomplished by determining a difference in position of a motion block between successive video frames. Based upon this revised trajectory, appropriate pixels corresponding to the motion block are obtained. These pixels are used in conjunction with pixel values obtained from each of the processed frames to produce an averaged video frame. Each pixel of the averaged video frame replaces the corresponding pixel in the original frame if the difference between the original pixel and the corresponding averaged pixel is less than the median difference between all of the original and averaged pixels.
摘要翻译：在视频信号降噪系统中，图像像素在多个帧之间被跟踪，然后被平均以产生相应的降噪像素值。运动估计器识别几个视频帧内的运动块，并使用修剪的平方估计过程来确定近似速度矢量。基于速度矢量对运动块中的每个像素进行轨迹校正，以确定像素的修正轨迹。通过确定连续视频帧之间的运动块的位置差异来实现该校正。基于该修正轨迹，获得对应于运动块的适当像素。这些像素与从每个经处理的帧获得的像素值结合使用以产生平均的视频帧。如果原始像素和相应的平均像素之间的差小于所有原始像素和平均像素之间的中值差，平均视频帧的每个像素将替换原始帧中的相应像素。

摘要： An image analysis system generates a motion vector field from first and second images in a sequence of steps. First, random, initial motion vector values are assigned to each pixel in the image frame. Next, an objective function is defined for each motion vector and its corresponding motion vector in the other frame. The differences between the motion vectors of the target pixel value in the current frame and the other frame are minimized by minimizing the objective function values, first based on all neighboring pixel values. Next, the motion vector differences are further minimized by reducing the objective function values by rejecting motion vectors which correspond to the neighboring pixel values for which the value of the difference between the respective objective functions is outside of a threshold range. In one embodiment, pixel values in the first image frame are compared to neighboring pixel values in a second image frame which occurs after the first image and to other neighboring pixel values in a third image frame which occurs before the first image frame. This embodiment substantially eliminates motion vector errors due to both motion discontinuities and occlusion of pixels in the image.
摘要翻译：图像分析系统以一系列步骤从第一和第二图像生成运动矢量场。首先，将随机的初始运动矢量值分配给图像帧中的每个像素。接下来，针对另一帧中的每个运动矢量及其对应的运动矢量定义目标函数。首先基于所有相邻的像素值，最小化目标函数值，使当前帧中的目标像素值与另一帧的运动矢量之间的差最小化。接下来，通过拒绝与各个目标函数之间的差值超出阈值范围的相邻像素值相对应的运动矢量来减少目标函数值，进一步减小运动矢量差。在一个实施例中，将第一图像帧中的像素值与发生在第一图像之后的第二图像帧中的相邻像素值和在第一图像帧之前发生的第三图像帧中的其它相邻像素值进行比较。该实施例基本上消除了运动不连续性和图像中像素的遮挡的运动矢量误差。

摘要： A method for embedding a watermark into content is disclosed. The content contains content samples. The method including the steps of: receiving the content, creating a continuous watermark sequence from the watermark, and for each content sample in a first predetermined order: calculating a sample mean, calculating a sample variance, and normalizing the content. Further steps include generating a set of content coefficients from the content, generating a set of watermark coefficients from the watermark sequence, embedding the watermark in the content by adjusting the amplitude of the watermark coefficients so that the distortion between the content coefficients and the associated watermark coefficients are minimized using a secret mapping function, and outputting the content. The mapping functions may be controlled by a key-dependent random sequence to protect the watermarks.

摘要： To enable the source of an unauthorized copy of an information-bearing medium, such as a video DVD, to be traced, a compressed digital signal stream to be stored on the medium is altered to include “running marks,” that comprise pixel blocks changing in position frame by frame and encoded with information designating where and when the copy was made. The medium under test is played back synchronously with a reference medium containing the locations of the running marks together with original video. The source of copying message is advantageously encrypted and scrambled to avoid detection or alteration by a copyist. The message preferably is spread, for example into a spread spectrum carrier, to enhance discrimination among a large number of sources and enable demodulation in the presence of noise.
