20120250769 | HYBRID VIDEO CODING - A further coding efficiency increase is achieved by, in hybrid video coding, additionally predicting the residual signal of a current frame by motion-compensated prediction using a reference residual signal of a previous frame. In other words, in order to further reduce the energy of the final residual signal, i.e. the one finally transmitted, and thus increase the coding efficiency, it is proposed to additionally predict the residual signal by motion-compensated prediction using the reconstructed residual signals of previously coded frames. | 10-04-2012 |
20130039428 | HYBRID VIDEO DECODER, HYBRID VIDEO ENCODER, DATA STREAM - A hybrid video decoder has an extractor, a predictor and a reconstructor. The extractor is configured to extract motion information and residual information for a first block of a current picture from a data stream. The predictor is configured to provide, depending on the motion information, a prediction for the block of the current picture by interpolating a reference picture, using a combination of an IIR filter and FIR filter. The reconstructor is configured to reconstruct the current picture at the block using the prediction for the block and the residual information for the block. Furthermore, a hybrid video encoder, a data stream, a method for encoding a video and a method for decoding a video are described. | 02-14-2013 |
20130279577 | PICTURE CODING SUPPORTING BLOCK MERGING AND SKIP MODE - A coding efficiency increase is achieved by using a common signalization within the bitstream with regard to activation of merging and activation of the skip mode. One possible state of one or more syntax elements within the bitstream may signalize for a current sample set of a picture that the sample set is to be merged and has no prediction residual encoded and inserted into the bitstream. A common flag may signalize whether the coding parameters associated with a current sample set are to be set according to a merge candidate or to be retrieved from the bitstream, and whether the current sample set of the picture is to be reconstructed based on a prediction signal depending on the coding parameters associated with the current sample set, without any residual data, or to be reconstructed by refining the prediction signal depending on the coding parameters associated with the current sample set by means of residual data within the bitstream. | 10-24-2013 |
20130287116 | PICTURE CODING SUPPORTING BLOCK PARTITIONING AND BLOCK MERGING - A further coding efficiency increase may be achieved if for a current block of a picture, for which the bit stream signals one of supported partitioning patterns, a reversal of the partitioning by block merging is avoided. In particular, if the signaled one of the supported partitioning patterns specifies a subdivision of the block into two or more further blocks, a removal of certain coding parameter candidates for all further blocks, except a first further block of the further blocks in a coding order, is performed. Particularly, those coding parameter candidates are removed from the set of coding parameter candidates for the respective further block, the coding parameters of which are the same as coding parameters associated with any of the further blocks which, when being merged with the respective further block, would result in one of the supported partitioning pattern. This avoids redundancy between partitioning coding and merging coding. | 10-31-2013 |

In another aspect, a desymbolizer is configured to perform desymbolization such that the control parameter varies in accordance with the data stream at a first rate in case of the high-efficiency mode being activated and the control parameter is constant irrespective of the data stream or changes depending on the data stream, but at a second lower rate in case of the low-complexity mode being activated. | 05-22-2014 |

20120297059 | AUTOMATED CREATION OF MONITORING CONFIGURATION TEMPLATES FOR CLOUD SERVER IMAGES - Monitoring configurations for monitoring systems are automatically created for cloud server instances by polling the cloud controller to detect creation of each new instance, obtaining the image ID for the new instance from the cloud controller, and using a monitoring configuration template associated with the image ID to create the monitoring configuration. If a monitoring configuration template is not available for the image ID, a new template is created, either manually and/or automatically, and added to the template database. Automated template creation can include polling and analyzing instance ports and/or detecting and interrogating embedded monitoring agents such as WMI or SNMP. Monitor packs including detection criteria and interrogation checks can be used to detect monitoring agents and construct appropriate templates. Embodiments further monitor the cloud controller to detect termination of instances, and remove corresponding monitoring configurations from the monitoring to avoid generating false alerts. | 11-22-2012 |
