20080273815 | Method and device for retrieving a test block from a blockwise stored reference image - The invention relates to retrieving a test block at a freely selectable position from a blockwise stored reference image. A method for retrieving a test block from a blockwise stored reference image is described. Said method comprises the steps of retrieving a reference block and generating from the reference block a first corona block. Then, the test block is composed using a subsection of the reference block and a subsection of the first corona block. | 11-06-2008 |
20090238282 | Method and device for generating an image data stream, method and device for reconstructing a current image from an image data stream, image data stream and storage medium carrying an image data stream - The invention is related to the generation of an image data stream and the reconstruction of an image from an image data stream. | 09-24-2009 |
20130155470 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ARCHIVING AN IMAGE - A method and an apparatus for archiving an image on a photographic medium are described. The image consists of an array of pixels, where a color depth of the pixels is n bits. In addition to recording the array of pixels on the photographic medium also a subset of the n bits describing the color of the pixel is recorded on the photographic medium for each pixel. | 06-20-2013 |

20140012850 | Method And Apparatus For Prioritizing Metadata - A method and an apparatus for prioritizing a metadata item associated to audio or video data are described. A metadata item is retrieved from a metadata repository or via an input. An analyzing unit determines a priority value of the metadata item using one of a plurality of prioritization methods. A storing unit then stores the priority value in a priority table and references the priority table in a metadata table. | 01-09-2014 |
20150269405 | METHOD, APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND CODING SCHEME FOR DATA STORAGE USING AMPLITUDE MODULATION - A method and an apparatus for encoding data as a two-dimensional array of pixels, as well as a method and an apparatus for decoding such data are described. Data bits for encoding are received via an input. An encoder determines blocks of pixels corresponding to the received data bits from an alphabet of allowed blocks of pixels. Each allowed block of pixels represents two or more data bits. Values of the pixels within each block of pixels in said alphabet are selected from three or more allowed values and increase continuously from a lowest value of a first pixel to a highest value of a last pixel when considering the pixels along a spiral or represent a plane having an orientation and an inclination. The blocks of pixels determined for the data bits are combined into a two-dimensional array of pixels. For decoding a pixel analyzer determines properties of pixel values of each retrieved block of pixels. A property analyzer then determines data bits for each retrieved block of pixels from the determined properties. | 09-24-2015 |
