Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080219354Methods and Systems for Scalable-to-Non-Scalable Bit-Stream Rewriting - Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods for selectively determining a quantization parameter based on coding parameters. In some embodiments, a quantization parameter selection may be based on the presence of non-zero transform coefficients as well as other parameters. Some embodiments relate to rewriting a multi-layer bitstream to a single-layer bitstream with a quantization parameter selected with reference to transform coefficients. Some embodiments convert a scalable, multi-layer video sequence into a single-layer, non-scalable video sequence that is compatible with legacy devices.09-11-2008
20080253672Methods and Systems for Inter-Layer Image Parameter Prediction - Aspects of embodiments of the present invention comprise systems and methods for determining prediction parameters for a multi-layer image.10-16-2008
20090175338Methods and Systems for Inter-Layer Image Prediction Parameter Determination - Aspects of the present invention are related to systems and methods for predicting a prediction parameter which may be used in the prediction of high dynamic range image elements from low dynamic range image data.07-09-2009
20090185747SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TEXTURE SYNTHESIS FOR VIDEO CODING WITH SIDE INFORMATION - A method for texture synthesis for video coding with side information may be implemented by a decoder device. The method may include receiving seed texture at high fidelity. The method may also include receiving remaining portions of synthesized regions at low fidelity. The method may also include receiving marking of regions to synthesize. The method may further include synthesizing the marked regions based on the high-fidelity seed texture and the low-fidelity portions of the synthesized regions.07-23-2009

20100040302Image sharpening technique - A sharpening technique for digital images for presentation on a display.02-18-2010
20100183071Methods and Systems for Enhanced Dynamic Range Images and Video from Multiple Exposures - Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods for video coding and decoding. Some aspects relate to coding and decoding of enhanced dynamic range video sequences based on a series of low-dynamic-range (LDR) frames, captured at a first exposure configuration, that are multi-plexed with a series of enhancement frames that are captured at a second exposure configuration.07-22-2010
20110026604METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR PARALLEL VIDEO ENCODING AND DECODING - A method for decoding a video bitstream is disclosed. The method comprises: entropy decoding a first portion (02-03-2011
20110135217IMAGE MODIFYING METHOD AND DEVICE - A sharpening technique for digital images for presentation on a display is provided. In the technique, an image is modified in order to sharpen the features while at the same time suppress the noise. The image is first filtered resulting in at least two different channels of information. The channels can contain such information as texture information or edge and flat region information. Each channel is then further filtered in order to enhance the information stored in that channel. Finally, the channels are combined to result in a modified image with a different sharpness.06-09-2011
