摘要： An inter mode for encoding a video macroblock is selected. An initial analysis on the macroblock homogeneity is performed to quickly reduce the number of inter modes for which motion estimation and rate distortion calculation are to be performed. An inter mode is selected based on these calculations and sub-pixel motion estimation, at various sub-pixel interpolation granularities, is performed only on the selected inter mode. Sub-pixel motion estimation may be skipped for macroblocks that exhibit relatively low distortion at the integer pixel level.

摘要： A power-scalable hybrid technique to reduce blocking and ringing artifacts in low bit-rate block-based video coding is employed in connection with a modified decoder structure. Fast inverse motion compensation is applied directly in the compressed domain, so that the transform (e.g., DCT) coefficients of the current frame can be reconstructed from those of the previous frame. The spatial characteristics of each block is calculated from the DCT coefficients, and each block is classified as either low-activity or high-activity. For each low-activity block, its DC coefficient value and the DC coefficient values of the surrounding eight neighbor blocks are exploited to predict low frequency AC coefficients which reflect the original coefficients before quantization in the encoding stage. The predicted AC coefficients are inserted into the low activity blocks where blocking artifacts are most noticeable. Subject to available resources, this may be followed by spatial domain post-processing, in which two kinds of low-pass filters are adaptively applied, on a block-by-block basis, according to the classification of the particular block. Strong low-pass filtering is applied in low-activity blocks where the blocking artifacts are most noticeable, whereas weak low-pass filtering is applied in high-activity blocks where ringing noise as well as blocking artifacts may exist. In low activity blocks, the blocking artifacts are reduced by one dimensional horizontal and vertical low-pass filters which are selectively applied in either the horizontal and/or vertical direction depending on the locations and absolute values of the predicted AC coefficients. In high activity blocks, de-blocking and de-ringing is conducted by 2- or 3-tap filters, applied horizontally and/or vertically, which makes the architecture simple.
摘要翻译：结合经修改的解码器结构采用功率可扩展的混合技术来减少低比特率基于块的视频编码中的阻塞和振铃伪影。快速逆运动补偿直接应用在压缩域中，使得当前帧的变换（例如DCT）系数可以从先前帧的变换（例如，DCT）系数重构。根据DCT系数计算每个块的空间特性，将每个块分类为低活动度或高活动度。对于每个低活动块，利用其DC系数值和周围八个相邻块的DC系数值来预测在编码阶段中反映量化之前的原始系数的低频AC系数。将预测的AC系数插入到低活动块中，其中块伪影最显着。根据可用资源，可以跟随空间域后处理，其中根据特定块的分类，在逐块的基础上自适应地应用两种低通滤波器。强低通滤波被应用在低活动性块中，其中块伪影是最显着的，而弱低通滤波被应用于可能存在振铃噪声和块伪影的高活动块中。在低活动性块中，根据预测的AC系数的位置和绝对值，在水平和/或垂直方向选择性地施加一维水平和垂直低通滤波器来减少块伪影。在高活动性块中，通过水平和/或垂直施加的2或3抽头滤波器进行解块和解除振铃，这使得架构变得简单。

摘要： A prediction mode for encoding data is selected using a reduced number of rate-distortion cost computations. This reduction in rate-distortion cost computations is caused by filtering the number of potential intra prediction modes based on two criteria. First, the number of potential prediction modes is reduced based on at least one characteristic of a quantization procedure performed during the encoding procedure. Second, the number of potential prediction modes is reduced based on an error value calculated for each of the potential prediction modes.

摘要： Transform based distortion cost estimation, which may be used to calculate a rate distortion cost associated with a mode for encoding a macroblock, is described. In one embodiment of the invention, a distortion value for a particular mode is estimated within the transform domain, which allows for the elimination of both inverse transformation and inverse motion functions in this calculation. A spatial domain residual of an encoding mode is estimated by identifying a difference, within the transform domain, between a motion compensated prediction residual of a macroblock and its corresponding reconstructed signal. The estimated spatial domain residual may then be used in distortion matrix computations to estimate a distortion level, within the transform domain, for an encoding mode.

摘要： An inter-mode for encoding a video macroblock is selected based on a comparison of at least two rate-distortion values associated with inter-modes. The number of potential inter-modes for encoding the video macroblock is initially reduced based on the rate-distortion calculation of the SKIP mode between the current macroblock and the collocated macroblock (corresponding to a 0,0 motion vector). Motion estimation is performed on the remaining inter-modes to identify reference blocks and motion vectors. The number of calculations performed in identifying the reference blocks and motion vectors is potentially reduced because associations between inter-modes are recognized and leveraged.

摘要： An interactive photo system that provides an interesting and entertaining way to link photos from the digital and analog domains. The system enables easy conversion of a paper-based photo into digital form. The conversion process generally involves a user holding up a paper-based photo image in front of a camera of the system, such that the captured image is rendered in a specific location on a display screen. The system adjusts the captured image for orientation and illumination irregularities in creating a digital version of the paper-based photo. The system further includes a database of digital images and a content retrieval engine to which content from the just-converted digital image can be used as a search query to search the database for other similar digital photos.
