摘要： A method (and corresponding equipment) by which a multimedia message is sent from a sending terminal (21) via a messaging server (22)—such as a MMS Proxy-Relay in MMS or a SIP proxy server in SIP IM—to a receiving terminal (25) having limited multimedia capabilities, with the sending terminal (21) adapted to include a user agent (21a) for inserting, into the message, media characteristics of the message sufficient in detail to enable the messaging server (22) to determine whether the message should be transcoded based on actual or assumed multimedia capabilities of the receiving terminal (25), and with the messaging server (22) configured to read the media characteristics and decide whether the message should be transcoded based only on the inserted media characteristics and on actual or assumed multimedia capabilities of the receiving terminal (25). The media characteristics are advantageously inserted into the header of the message.

摘要： A system and method is provided that allows proxy servers to receive capability and preference information concerning user agents (502 and 510) desiring to establish a media session. The proxy server compares the capabilities of the user agents and determines whether an incompatibility exists between them. In the event that an incompatibility does exist, the proxy server may invoke the services of an adaptation server (508) to provide the necessary adaptation required to allow the media session to proceed. The adaptation system allows either the terminating or originating proxy server to make the adaptation determination to allow the adaptation server to modify the offered media session descriptions so that the media streams may be routed through the adaptation server to adapt between incompatible media parameters.
摘要翻译：提供了一种系统和方法，其允许代理服务器接收有关希望建立媒体会话的用户代理（502和510）的能力和偏好信息。代理服务器比较用户代理的功能，并确定它们之间是否存在不兼容性。在存在不兼容性的情况下，代理服务器可以调用适配服务器（508）的服务以提供允许媒体会话继续进行所需的必要调整。适配系统允许终止或始发代理服务器进行适配确定以允许适配服务器修改所提供的媒体会话描述，使得媒体流可以通过适配服务器路由以适应不兼容的媒体参数。

摘要： Apparatus, and an associated method, for reducing the resolution of a digital image, such as a JPEG image. The digital image is pre-scaled by a pre-scaling factor that is selected such that a matrix multiplication is performed upon the digital image once pre-scaled, to reduce the resolution of the image. The matrix multiplication utilizes a multiplier that exhibits symmetry, thereby to reduce the number of calculations required to reduce the resolution of the image. Resolution reduction is performed, for instance, prior to communicating the digital image to a mobile station operable in a mobile communication system.

摘要： A method and system for parallel encoding of frames in a video are described, exploiting parallel processing at both frame and slice levels. One or more slices are processed in a preceding frame by one or more cores in a multi-core processor, and a slice is processed in a succeeding frame provided at least one of said one or more cores in the multi-core processor is available for processing; and the processing of a slice from said one or more slices at same physical location in the preceding input frame has been completed, the processing of frames and slices in the preceding and succeeding frames being performed at least partially in parallel. A significant speedup in comparison to the sequential encoding approach is achieved while maintaining high visual quality for the output video. A corresponding system for parallel encoding of a video is also provided.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for providing a terminal MS2 of a communications system with coded still image signals. In order to enable a further content adaptation for multimedia messages, it is proposed that the method comprises receiving coded video signals at a network element of said communications system, converting at least a part of said received coded video signals in said network element to coded still image signals, and delivering said coded still image signals to a terminal MS2 of said communication system. The computation required for said conversion can be minimized by exploiting the commonalities of video and still images compression methods that are based on the Discrete Cosine Transform scheme. Thus it is rendered possible to provide excerpts of transmitted video clips also to terminals not capable of handling at least this particular video clip. The invention equally relates to a corresponding communications system, network element and module for a network element.

摘要： A method and apparatus for optimal signal encoding based on reference data relating encoded-signal characteristics to encoding parameters are disclosed. Reference vectors of encoding parameters and corresponding measurements of encoded-signal characteristics are used to establish a functional relationship between each characteristic and the encoding parameters. Candidate vectors of encoding parameters are identified based on user-defined boundaries of both the encoding parameters and acceptable encoded-signal characteristics. A figure of merit is determined for each candidate vector and the candidate vector of highest figure of merit is presented to an encoder.

摘要： A visual quality assessment method and system are based on deriving a quality metric by comparing sub-band approximations of a distorted image and an undistorted version of the same image, providing a good compromise between computational complexity and accuracy. The sub-band approximations are derived from Discrete Wavelet (Haar) transforms of small image blocks of each image. Due to inherent symmetries, the wavelet transform is “blind” to certain types of distortions. But the accuracy of the method is enhanced, and the blindness of the transform is overcome, by computing quality metrics for the distorted image as well as computing quality metrics for a shifted version of the distorted image and combining the results.

摘要： Method and system for determining a measure of quality for images by using multi-level decomposition are presented. Multi-level decomposition of images is performed in the wavelet domain producing subbands at each level of decomposition. Aggregation of subbands is performed across multiple levels to produce an accurate measure of image quality. By aggregating only selected subbands the computational complexity of the method is greatly reduced.
