| 20090097555 | Video encoding method and device - Successive images (F) of a video sequence are encoded in order in generate parameters which are included in an output flow (F) that is to be transmitted to a decoder. The encoding of certain images is effected in Inter mode relative to one or several previous images of the sequence. The output flow also includes long term marking commands for certain images and demarking commands for previously marked images. Each long-term marked image is kept in a memory by the decoder until a corresponding demarking command is received. Return information on the restoration of the images of the video sequence by the decoder is received by the encoder (1) and analyzed in order to identify an image that has been lost by the decoder. It is possible to encode a following image of the sequence in Inter mode in relation to a long-term marked image in response to identification of an image lost to the decoder. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090129464 | Adaptive Coding and Decoding - The invention relates to a method of transmitting an image portion, which method comprises, in a coding phase analyzing a coding context, adapting a parameter of a group of prediction functions that can be used for coding, forming a first predicted descriptor using a selected prediction function, and determining and transmitting a residue between the first predicted descriptor and the current descriptor. The method further includes a decoding phase comprising analyzing a decoding context, adapting a parameter of a group of prediction functions that can be used for decoding, forming a second predicted descriptor using a selected prediction function and combining the second predicted descriptor and the received residue to deliver a decoded version of the current descriptor. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090138933 | Use of a Feedback Channel for Image Broadcasting - The invention relates to a method for broadcasting images from a video sequence, the method comprising the following steps at the level of a broadcasting equipment ( | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090213939 | Video Coding Method And Device - A video coding method, comprising the following steps: a) successive images (F) of a video sequence are coded to generate coding parameters, b) the coding parameters are included in an output stream (Φ) to be transmitted to a station (B) including a decoder ( | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100195740 | DECODING FUNCTION SELECTION DISTRIBUTED TO THE DECODER - The present invention relates to a method of transmitting at least one current image portion, wherein the method comprises selecting a coding function from a finite set of coding functions by applying at least one choice function of a first type, said choice function or functions of said first type using already-decoded image data, coding the current image portion using the selected coding function, sending the coded image portion to a decoder, and sending to said decoder information describing the choice function or functions of said first type. The invention also relates to the corresponding decoding method. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100266046 | MOTION ENCODING AND DECODING - A method is provided for encoding a portion of a current image, including: an estimation of motion between the current image portion and a plurality of candidate image portions in order to form motion components, an evaluation of a performance criterion for each candidate image portion, and the selection of a reference image portion using said performance criteria. In the method, for at least one motion component, the motion estimation, the performance criteria evaluation and the reference image portion selection only use information considered to be available at the decoder and no motion information is inserted into an output flow intended for a decoder. A corresponding decoding method is also provided. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110026594 | CODING AND DECODING OF AN IMAGE OR OF A SEQUENCE OF IMAGES SLICED INTO PARTITIONS OF PIXELS OF LINEAR FORM - A method is provided of coding an image or a sequence of images generating a stream of data comprising data representative of at least one group of pixels in one of said images. Such a method comprises the steps of: selecting, for a group of pixels to be coded, an initial partition of predetermined linear form, slicing said group of pixels to be coded according to said selected initial partition, propagating said initial partition selected in said group of pixels to be coded, until the latter is sliced in its entirety into a plurality of partitions of predetermined form, selecting, for said sliced group of pixels, a predetermined order of traversal of said partitions, predicting and coding said partitions one after the other, according to said selected order of traversal. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110026845 | PREDICTION OF IMAGES BY PRIOR DETERMINATION OF A FAMILY OF REFERENCE PIXELS, CODING AND DECODING USING SUCH A PREDICTION - A method is provided for predicting partitions of at least one group of pixels in an image to be coded, with respect to a group of reference pixels. Accordingly, the group of reference pixels is obtained by calculating a function characteristic of a predetermined mode of prediction, the reference pixels of the group obtained being variable from one partition to another. | 02-03-2011 |
