摘要： A subject image being electronically transferred from a first medium to a second medium is accomplished through tone scale tracking. Three monochromatic channels representing the subject image are generated from the first medium. In a preferred embodiment, an image processing system provides color correction for each channel by compensating for film and video characteristics that cause a degradation of color from the original subject image. Calibration of the system is provided by means for an operator to specify tone densities for the second medium that correlate to signal levels derived from the first medium for each channel. The image processing system tracks the tone densities calibrated to provide enhanced film masking. The image processing system also performs characteristic curve processing in accordance with a Hurter-Driffield (HD) curve. A characteristic curve interface is provided allowing an operator to place the subject image on the characteristic curve so that the image processing system tracks the location of the subject image on the curve.

摘要： A digital color correction system and method provide for color correction in a film-to-video signal conversion system. Film color correction is done by correcting incoming digitized film color signals (e.g. red, green and blue) according to film color correction parameters which represent film characteristics, such as film speed, gamma, and minimum and maximum film dye density. The film color correction parameters are used to sensitometrically convert the film color signals to video color signals according to a sensitometric film model, such as the Hurter-Driffield ("HD") characteristic curve. Video color correction is then performed upon the corrected film color signals according to video color correction parameters which represent video signal characteristics, such as hue and saturation, as well as a video color standard model, such as SMPTE 240M. Alternatively, separate signals representing the film or video color correction parameters can be encoded as separate data into the corrected or uncorrected color signals. This color correction or color correction parameter encoding can be done on a field-by-field, frame-by-frame or scene-by-scene basis, so that each resulting video field, frame or scene, respectively, is appropriately color corrected or contains its own specific color correction information.

摘要： Methods and devices for detecting a watermark in a watermarked video stream, the watermark having been scaled by an unknown scale among a predetermined finite number of scales and shifted by an unknown number of pixels. For each of the predetermined number of scales, the video stream is divided into a plurality of equally sized scaled watermark blocks; and the plurality of scaled watermark blocks are read into a plurality of read blocks. Each of the read blocks are accumulated into one of a predetermined number of read block bins. The accumulated read blocks are then re-scaled and combined into a single video accumulated block. A predetermined quantity, such as the power of a DCT, is then evaluated within the video accumulated block. This evaluation yields information relative to presence of the watermark in the video stream, the scale applied to the watermarked video and the shift of the watermark, if any, within the watermark blocks. A fractional remainder operation is used to determine the number of read block bins for each scale under consideration as well to determine the bin into which each read block is to be accumulated.

摘要： The system and method creates a broadcast tree comprising a hierarchy of broadcast constituents, each constituent represented as a node in the tree. The tree includes at least two nodes representing at least two of the following constituents arranged in accordance with the following hierarchical order; channel, schedule, program, pod and element, wherein the channel is the highest order constituent and the element is the lowest order constituent and wherein each higher order constituent can be composed of one or more constituents of the same or lower order. Associations are provided between constituents to be used to identify the sequence the constituents are played in order to generate a broadcast. These associations identify the paths to be taken from a higher order node to a lower order node. Thus, to generate a broadcast, the tree is traversed beginning at the highest order constituent, and for each higher order constituent, the associations among lower order constituents of the same order are evaluated to determine the sequence the lower order constituents are to be played.

摘要： A computerized interactive menu-driven video signal processing apparatus and method for selectively converting and processing color video signals from a color film scanner includes and provides a method for using a film scanner, a video color signal processor, a video signal storage device (e.g. high definition video tape recorder) and a computer with an interactive menu-driven operator control interface. The operator interface includes an alphanumeric keypad, a computer "mouse," a graphics display and a video monitor. While viewing analytical data (e.g. film masking coefficients, model film dye characteristic curves) on the graphics display and video images on the video monitor, the operator enters data and commands into the computer via the alphanumeric keypad or mouse to control the film scanner, the video color signal processor and the video signal storage device. Thus, the operator can precisely and interactively control every aspect of the video conversion and signal processing, including the scanning of the film, the actual video signal processing, and the storage and retrieval of the selectively processed video.

摘要： Various computer-implemented methods are provided. One method for signature recognition includes identifying a vertical element of a signature and determining a tilt angle of the vertical element. Tilt angle is defined by a line that is approximately parallel to the vertical element. In addition, the method includes determining a tilt factor. Tilt factor is defined as a horizontal offset between the tilt angle and a reference tilt as a function of distance from a signature baseline. The method further includes altering the signature using the tilt factor and comparing the altered signature to known signature(s) to determine if the altered signature matches one of the known signature(s). Another method includes altering the signature using a predetermined tilt factor and comparing the altered signature to known signature(s). If the altered signature does not match one of the known signature(s), these steps may be repeated with different predetermined tilt factors.

摘要： A method and system for compressing video in a manner characteristic of photographic film compression. One embodiment of the invention is a video camera including circuitry for compressing the raw video signals generated thereby to introduce film-like compression characteristics thereto. Such video camera preferably includes controls allowing smooth, gradual, film-like compression of video image data recorded thereby, in response to user variation of no more than a small number of compression parameters. In other embodiments, the invention is a video post-production editing system which performs film-like compression on an analog or digital video signal. Such compression can be performed to match the dynamic range of a first, film-derived video segment to that of a second, non-film-derived video segment. Preferably, the invention implements film-like compression digitally, by employing digital circuitry. Typically, such digital circuitry digitizes an analog video signal to be compressed, then transforms the digitized pixels using a look-up table, and finally converts the transformed pixels to an analog compressed video signal. Each color component of a color video signal can be separately digitized, and digital compression can be separately performed on each stream of digitized color component data in accordance with the invention. Other embodiments (for processing a stream of digital video data) need not perform analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion. The invention can alternatively be implemented as an analog circuit for processing an analog video signal.
