    • A system for watermarking and transferring watermarked material comprises a transaction server, first and second clients, first apparatus for applying a perceptible watermark to the material and second apparatus for removing the watermark. The server, clients and first and second apparatus are linked by one or more communications networks. The system is arranged to implement the steps of: transferring from the transaction server to the first apparatus (i) data for creating a watermark, the creating data including (a) data defining an invertible algorithm and (b) data for creating at least one security key associated with the algorithm and (ii) data for creating a material identifier; using the said first apparatus to apply a material identifier to the material and applying a watermark to the material, using the said creating data; transferring from the first client to the transaction server the said material identifier and data for inverting the algorithm including the said at least one key; transferring the watermarked material to the second apparatus; deriving the said material identifier from the material; transferring the identifier from the second client to the transaction server; subject to predetermined conditions being satisfied, transferring from the transaction server to the second apparatus watermark removal data associated with the said material identifier, the removal data including at least one key and data defining an algorithm for removing the watermark in conjunction with the key; and using the second apparatus to remove the watermark using the said removal data.

    • A data encoding apparatus operable to encode a plurality of data blocks produces encoded data in accordance with at least one of a selectable target data quantity or a selectable target data quality. The apparatus comprises a plurality of encoding processors at least one of the encoding processors having a parameter controller operable to determine, for each of the data blocks, a value for an encoding parameter to be used in an encoding process, which encoding parameter has an effect of influencing the quantity of encoded data produced by the encoding process and the quality of a decoded version of each data block encoded using the encoding process, the value of the parameter being determined to satisfy at least one of the target data quantity and the target data quality for each encoded data block, and an encoder operable to encode each of the data blocks in accordance with the encoding process to form encoded data blocks using the value of the encoding parameter determined for each block, and a selection processor operable, for each data block, to select one of the encoded blocks produced by each of the plurality of encoding processors in dependence upon which of the data blocks has at least one of the highest quality and the lowest data quantity. The encoding process is selected to provide either the highest decoded image quality or the lowest encoded data quantity depending on whether the compression ratio for each data block is fixed or the decoded data quality is fixed and the quantity of encoded data arranged to vary. Embodiments of the present invention find particular application for encoding video data, and for use in the Motion Picture Experts Group-IV (MPEG-IV) coding scheme.

    • An image processing apparatus and method generate a three dimensional representation of a scene which includes a plurality of objects disposed on a plane. The three dimensional representation is generated from one or more video images of the scene, which include the objects on the plane produced from a view of the scene by a video camera. The method comprises processing the captured video images so as to extract one or more image features from each object, comparing the one or more image features with sample image features from a predetermined set of possible example objects which the video images may contain, and identifying the objects from the comparison of the image features with the stored image features of the possible example objects. The method also includes generating object path data, which includes object identification data for each object which identifies the respective object; and provides a position of the object on the plane in the video images with respect to time. The method further includes calculating a projection matrix for projecting the position of each of the objects according to the object path data from the plane into a three dimensional model of the plane. As such a three dimensional representation of the scene which includes a synthesised representation of each of the plurality of objects on the plane can be produced, by projecting the position of the objects according to the object path data into the plane of the three dimensional model of the scene using the projection matrix and a predetermined assumption of the height of each of the objects. Accordingly, a three dimensional representation of a live video image of, for example, a football match can be generated, or tracking information included on the live video images. As such, a change in a relative view of the generated three dimensional representation can be made, so that a view can be provided in the three dimensional representation of the scene from a view point at which no camera is actually present to capture video images of the live scene.
