A statistical analysis is performed on the error values as they are detected. In one technique, if the bitstream is categorized as fitting a high error rate state in a bitstream model, then hardware acceleration is dropped. In another technique, error statistics based on run-lengths of good and bad bitstream units are kept, and compared to predetermined thresholds. If the thresholds are exceeded, the hardware acceleration level is dropped. The level is dropped in order to take advantage of superior error handing abilities of software-based decoding over hardware-accelerated decoding. | 05-27-2010 |
20110013889 | IMPLEMENTING CHANNEL START AND FILE SEEK FOR DECODER - A video bit stream with pictures comprising inter-coded content can be decoded upon receiving a channel start or file seek instruction. Pictures for beginning decoding and display of the bit stream can be selected based at least in part on one or more tuning parameters that set a preference between a latency of beginning to display video and possible defects in the displayed video. In some embodiments, to implement decoding upon a channel start or file seek, one or more types of data are generated for one or more pictures. For example, picture order counts are generated for pictures after a channel start or file seek operation. As another example, a decoder generates a frame number value that triggers re-initialization of a reference picture buffer before decoding after a channel start or file seek operation. | 01-20-2011 |
20120147973 | LOW-LATENCY VIDEO DECODING - Techniques and tools for reducing latency in video decoding for real-time communication applications that emphasize low delay. For example, a tool such as a video decoder selects a low-latency decoding mode. Based on the selected decoding mode, the tool adjusts output timing determination, picture boundary detection, number of pictures in flight and/or jitter buffer utilization. For low-latency decoding, the tool can use a frame count syntax element to set initial output delay for a decoded picture buffer, and the tool can use auxiliary delimiter syntax elements to detect picture boundaries. To further reduce delay in low-latency decoding, the tool can reduce number of pictures in flight for multi-threaded decoding and reduce or remove jitter buffers. The tool receives encoded data, performs decoding according to the selected decoding mode to reconstruct pictures, and outputs the pictures for display. | 06-14-2012 |

The combining uses transform matrices that correspond to a video pipeline configuration. The transform matrix coefficients can depend on characteristics of the video pipeline components. Modified transform matrix coefficients can be used in response to changes in the video pipeline configuration. Video encoded in stereo 3D video data can be selected to be displayed in stereo 3D, anaglyph or monoscopic form, depending on user input and/or characteristics of video pipeline components. | 06-21-2012 |

20090322871 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF SPARSE CODE BASED OBJECT CLASSIFICATION WITH SENSOR FUSION - A system and method for object classification based upon the fusion of a radar system and a natural imaging device using sparse code representation. The radar system provides a means of detecting the presence of an object within a predetermined path of a vehicle. Detected objects are then fused with the image gathered by the camera and then isolated in an attention window. The attention window is then transformed into a sparse code representation of the object. The sparse code representation is then compared with known sparse code representation of various objects. Each known sparse code representation is given a predetermined variance and subsequent sparse code represented objects falling within said variance will be classified as such. The system and method also includes an associative learning algorithm wherein classified sparse code representations are stored and used to help classifying subsequent sparse code representation. | 12-31-2009 |

20110235154 | REFLECTIVE DISPLAY USING CALIBRATION DATA FOR ELECTROSTATICALLY MAINTAINING PARALLEL RELATIONSHIP OF ADJUSTABLE-DEPTH CAVITY COMPONENT - Interferometric modulators include a movable mirror that is actuated by voltage applied to a plurality of electrodes relative to at least one other electrode, to define a cavity relative to a partially reflective mirror formed by a top plate. The depth of the cavity determines a bandwidth of light that is modulated by internal reflections within the cavity and which interferes with light that is reflected from a partially reflective mirror on the top plate, producing a desired reflected color of light for the modulator. Variations in manufacturing and material characteristics can cause the movable mirror to tilt relative to the partially reflective mirror, which degrades the modulation accuracy. To compensate, different voltages can be applied to the plurality of electrodes. The voltage can be determined at time of manufacture and stored in non-volatile memory, for use when the modulator is actuated during use. | 09-29-2011 |
