| 20090034858 | Systems, Methods, Devices and Arrangements for Motion-Compensated Image Processing and Coding - A variety of methods, devices, systems and arrangements are implemented for processing and coding of video images. According to one such implementation, a method is implemented for encoding a sequence of images. A plurality of orthogonal transforms is implemented on a set of N images, where N is greater than one. The images are linked by motion fields that include sets of respective portions of the images. In particular, the construction of a motion-compensated orthogonal transform is accomplished for the important case where at least one portion of any of the N images—or any part of this portion—is used more than once to motion-compensate other portions of the N images—or parts thereof. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090055651 | AUTHENTICATED MEDIA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPROACH - Media authentication is facilitated. In connection with an example embodiment, media is authenticated using an encoded projection of the media that is decoded using the media as an input. A condition of authenticity of the media is determined based upon an indication of distortion of the media characterized by a decoding of the encoded projection. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090164576 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PEER-TO-PEER SYSTEMS - A variety of methods, systems, devices and configured storage devices are used in relation to peer-to-peer streaming system with a plurality of processing-circuit-peer nodes sharing streaming data by passing the streaming data from parent nodes to child nodes. According to one such system, computer-based nodes are configured and adapted to detect a departure of a first child peer node from the peer-to-peer streaming system. The first child peer node having been a child peer node of the parent peer node and the first child peer having provided data to one or more additional child peers. Responsive to the detected departure, a second child peer is selected to provide data to the one or more additional child peers. Data is provided to the second child peer to facilitate establishment of a connection between the selected child peer and the one or more additional child peers and the parent peer node. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090300692 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIDEO STREAMING AND DISPLAY - For display of, at a user device, a region of interest within video images and associated applications. In a particular example embodiment, a streaming video source provides streaming data to a user device, with the streaming data being representative of a sequence of images, and each image including a plurality of individually decodable slices. At the user device and for a particular image and a corresponding subset region of the image, less than all of the plurality of individually decodable slices are displayed in response to a current input indicative of the subset region. Future input indicative of a revised subset region is then predicted in response to images in the image sequence that have yet to be displayed and to previously received input. In other embodiments, multicasting methods, systems or arrangements provide streaming video to one or more user devices. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090327917 | SHARING OF INFORMATION OVER A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method of sharing information associated with a selected application is provided. The method comprises identifying a media type associated with the information, and capturing the information based on the media type. The method further comprises identifying a content type associated with the information, the content type being related to the media type, encoding the information based on the content type, and providing access to the encoded information over a communication network. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090327918 | FORMATTING INFORMATION FOR TRANSMISSION OVER A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method of formatting information for transmission over a peer-to-peer communication network is provided. The method comprises identifying a graphical nature of the information, and capturing the information based on the graphical nature. The method further comprises identifying a graphical content type associated with the information, and encoding the information based on the graphical content type. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100226575 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPRESENTING AND IDENTIFYING FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS UTILIZING A COMPRESSED HISTOGRAM OF GRADIENTS - A method, apparatus and computer program product may be provided for generating a plurality of compressed feature descriptors that can be represented by a relatively small number of bits, thereby facilitating transmission and storage of the feature descriptors. A method, apparatus and computer program product may also be provided for permitting a compressed representation of a feature descriptor to be compared with a plurality of compressed representations of feature descriptors of respective predefined features. By permitting the comparison to be performed utilizing compressed representations of feature descriptors, a respective feature descriptor may be identified without having to first decompress the feature descriptor, thereby potentially increasing the efficiency with which feature descriptors may be identified. | 09-09-2010 |
