摘要： This invention relates generally to transmitting and receiving frequency division multiplex signals and, more precisely, to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) signals. OFDM signals may include both data carriers and reference carriers (or pilots). The pilot signals are transmitted at known positions with a known phase and amplitude, however distortions in the transmission channel can adversely affect the data received at a receiver. Pilots are used by a receiver to correct the data carriers which may have been affected by distortion or interference in the transmission channel. However, if a pilot signal is corrupted during transmission this can lead to the data carriers being erroneously corrected. The present invention seeks to provide a method and apparatus for receiving a frequency division multiplex signal in which the effect of corrupt pilot signals can be monitored and reduced.

摘要： The present invention relates to filtering an interlaced input digital signal containing fields of chrominance information preparatory to converting the format of the signal by means of a downsampling conversion from a 4:2:2 format to a 4:2:0 format.
In the invention, the input signal is applied to a delay circuit to derive samples of the input signal representing spatially separated elements from each chrominance field where the spatial separation is of one line. The magnitudes of the samples are compared relative to one another to identify frequencies which fall within different high and low frequency ranges. An adaptive filter has a plurality of frequency responses corresponding to the frequency ranges and a frequency response is selected in accordance with the identified frequency range of the input signal samples.

摘要： The present invention relates to digital television, and in particular the encoding of high-definition television (HDTV).
Standard digital television pictures have a resolution of 480 x 704 pixels and display at 30 frames per second. High definition television (HDTV) differs from standard television in having a much higher resolution.
The generation of digitally compressed HDTV signals requires dedicated encoding equipment due to the high sampling rates used for HDTV signals. Consequently, due to their increased complexity, HDTV encoders are substantially more complex and expensive than standard TV encoders.
A standard television encoder is not capable of encoding a HDTV image due to the increased resolution and the much larger data rates associated with such large images which is outside of capacity of a standard television encoder.
The present invention overcomes these problems and provides a method and apparatus for creating HDTV signals using predominantly standard television equipment.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及数字电视，特别涉及高分辨率电视（HDTV）的编码。标准数字电视图像的分辨率为480×704像素，每秒30帧显示。高分辨率电视（HDTV）与标准电视的分辨率不同。数字压缩的HDTV信号的产生由于用于HDTV信号的高采样率而需要专用的编码设备。因此，由于HDTV编码器的复杂性越来越高，比标准电视编码器要复杂得多。标准电视编码器由于分辨率的增加而不能编码HDTV图像，并且与标准电视编码器容量之外的这种大图像相关联的数据速率大得多。本发明克服了这些问题，并且提供了使用主要标准的电视设备来创建HDTV信号的方法和装置。

摘要： The present invention relates to the recovery of a carrier phase from a modulated input signal where the modulation is in accordance with the M-PSK modulation format, M has a value greater than 4 and the signal-to-noise ratio in the channel is low.
A voltage controlled oscillator is employed to generate first and second oscillations in phase quadrature with respect to each other. The modulated input signal is mixed with the first of the oscillations to detect the (I) signal component and the modulated input signal is mixed with the second of the oscillations to detect the (Q) signal component. A control signal is derived from the (I) and (Q) signal components as an estimate of the phase difference between the input signal carrier and the voltage controlled oscillator. The control signal conforms to the relationship: where 'a' is the control signal, 'k' is an odd integer between 1 and M, and C k m represent binominal coefficients.
The frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator is controlled by the control signal to recover the carrier phase.

摘要： According to the present invention there is provided a method and processing apparatus for producing a representation of a digital signal in terms of a plurality of basis functions. A first processor determines a basis function for each of a plurality of portions of the signal. A second processor periodically determines a correction coefficient for each basis function. A generator generates a basis function structure book based on the original basis function and the correction coefficient.
This has the advantage of improving the efficiency of the Matching Pursuits process and generating a more accurate basis function structure book.

摘要： According the present invention there is provided apparatus for matching a plurality of functions to a digital signal so as to represent the digital signal in terms of said functions comprising a first processor for determining one or more common factors in the plurality of functions; and means for representing at least some of the functions in terms of one or more others of said functions thereby to reduce the amount of processing necessary for the matching.
This has the advantage that there is no unnecessary processing to determine the basis functions. Where there is commonality and the process would require less processing potential to make use of this than not then the commonality is exploited.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method of generating and transmitting digitally encoded signals in which portions of the code are predicted from earlier. The invention is applied to a digital video compression system in which temporal predictive coding is used in order to reduce the data rate of the transmitted signal. Predictions are made for the reconstruction of the current picture based on elements of pictures that have been coded in the past. A prediction is made for each reference block from each of five picture areas. A distortion value is derived for each prediction and a selection is made from the predictions based on the distortion values of the predictions. By biasing the selection between the different predictions towards that prediction which was last selected, predictions of approximately equal quality from completely different picture areas will be avoided. This avoids the situation where small advantages in prediction quality are outweighed by a larger codeword for the transmission of the prediction.

摘要： The present invention relates generally to the domain of digital signal processing and, more precisely, the methods and apparatus employed in the reduction of visibility of blockiness in images or video sequences encoded using block-based coding techniques such as MPEG.
The present invention detects a level of blockiness between blocks in an image and applies a variable filter across the block boundaries. The filter parameters are chosen depending on the level of blockiness detected. If no blockiness is detected then no filtering is performed on the image.
An important aspect of the present invention reduces the false detection of naturally occurring blockiness in images by analysing the image both spatially and temporally.
摘要翻译：本发明一般涉及数字信号处理的领域，更确切地说，涉及降低使用基于块的编码技术（例如MPEG）编码的图像或视频序列中的块效果的可视性的方法和装置。本发明检测图像中的块之间的块级，并跨越块边界应用可变滤波器。过滤器参数根据检测到的阻塞水平来选择。如果没有检测到阻塞，则不对图像执行滤波。本发明的一个重要方面通过在空间和时间上分析图像来减少图像中天然发生的块状物的错误检测。
