| 20120063513 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENCODING VIDEO USING TEMPORAL FILTER - A system and method for encoding a video is disclosed having a plurality of frames with spatially correspondent macroblocks. The method includes selecting a coding mode for each spatially correspondent macroblock, such as intra-frame coding or inter-frame coding. A weighting value is determined for each pixel in the macroblock based on the coding mode of the macroblock or other indication of the correlation of the pixel to spatially corresponding pixels in one or more other frames. A temporal filter uses the weighting values to filter noise from the plurality of frames and the resulting noise-reduced output is used in a predictive reference frame. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20110274173 | Video compression and encoding method - A method of compressing video data having at least one frame having at least one block and each block having an array of pixels is provided. The method transforms the pixels of each block into coefficients and creates an optimal transmission order of the coefficients. The method also optimizes the speed of processing compressed video data by partitioning the data bitstream and coding each partition independently. The method also predicts fractional pixel motion by selecting an interpolation method for each given plurality or block of pixels depending upon at least one metric related to each given block and varies the method from block to block. The method also enhances error recovery for a current frame using a frame prior to the frame immediately before the current frame as the only reference frame for lessening quality loss during data transmission. Enhanced motion vector coding is also provided. | 11-10-2011 |
