20100086023 | MANAGING MULTIVIEW STREAMING VIDEO DATA COMPOSED OF FRAMES - A system for managing multiview streaming video data composed of a plurality of frames includes an encoder configured to encode multiple representations of at least one frame of the plurality of frames corresponding to multiple views using different reference frames for each of the multiple representations. The system also includes a controller configured to create a coding tree containing the plurality of frames and the multiple representations. The system further includes a data store configured to store the coding tree, wherein the controller is further configured to identify a storage constraint of the data store and to omit at least one of the multiple representations from the coding tree to cause the plurality of frames stored in the data store to remain within the storage constraint. | 04-08-2010 |
20100114871 | Distance Quantization in Computing Distance in High Dimensional Space - Techniques and systems for quantization based nearest neighbor searches can include quantizing a set of candidate points based on one or more characteristics of a query point; generating metric values based on the quantized candidate points, respectively, the metric values being indicative of respective proximities between the query point and the candidate points; and selecting one or more of the candidate points in response to the query point based on the metric values. In some implementations, techniques and systems can compress search metric computation resolution by implementing non-uniform scalar quantization within a metric computation process. | 05-06-2010 |
20100295922 | Coding Mode Selection For Block-Based Encoding - In a method of selecting coding modes for block-based encoding of a digital video stream composed of a plurality of successive frames, depth values of pixels contained in coding blocks having different sizes in the plurality of successive frames are obtained, the largest coding block sizes that contain pixels having sufficiently similar depth values are identified, and coding modes for block-based encoding of the coding blocks having, at minimum, the largest identified coding block sizes are selected. | 11-25-2010 |
20100306403 | METHOD FOR STREAMING VIDEO DATA - A method for streaming video data. Video data is received. At least one frame of the video data is segmented into a plurality of regions. Video data corresponding to a first region of the plurality of regions is transmitted over a network. The video data corresponding to a second region of the plurality of regions is modified according to interactive input. The video data corresponding to a modified version of the second region is transmitted over the network. | 12-02-2010 |
