20110182345 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTING A BIT INTERLEAVER TO LDPC CODES AND MODULATIONS UNDER AWGN CHANNEL CONDITIONS USING BINARY ERASURE SURROGATE CHANNELS - The present invention relates to code-dependent bit interleavers for parallel non-uniform channels. Since the channel dependence of a given code ensemble is dominated by the mutual information between the channel input and output, the present invention proposes to simplify the analysis about the decoding behavior by using a set of surrogate binary erasure channels. The approximation of the actual channel by the surrogate BEC is established on the equivalence of bitwise capacities, which represent the mutual information between the uniformly-distributed binary input and the likelihood ratios of the effective parallel AWGN channels. Moreover, the transition of the erasure probabilities is modeled by a linear difference equation around the decoding threshold SNR, from which we can derive a necessary condition on the convergence of decoding iterations and achieve a useful guideline for the configuration of the bit interleaver. | 07-28-2011 |

20130229695 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AND/OR REMOVING PUNCH HOLES IN IMAGES - Methods and apparatus for detecting the presence and location of punch holes in a scanned image are described. The punch hole detection methods and apparatus rely at least in some embodiments on whether a portion of the scanned image, referred to as a component, corresponds to a punch hole by comparing one or more characteristics of the component such as its circularity, aspect ratio, black to white pixel ratio, density, height and/or width to one or more thresholds before making a decision as to whether or not the component is a punch hole. In some embodiments the components which pass component-level checks are grouped and one or more group-level checks are performed on the components to determine if the components are punch holes. Once a punch hole is detected, in some embodiments, the image is processed to remove the detected punch hole. | 09-05-2013 |

20130279581 | MOTION ESTIMATION METHODS FOR RESIDUAL PREDICTION - Systems, apparatus and methods are described including determining a first value by reducing a bit-length of a reference pixel value and adding a first predetermined value to the result and determining a second value by subtracting a residual pixel value from a current pixel value to generate a difference value, reducing a bit-length of the difference value and adding the first predetermined value to the result. The range of the second value may then be clipped by setting the second value to zero when the second value is equal to or less than a second predetermined value and setting the second value to a third predetermined value when the second value is equal to or greater than a fourth predetermined value. The first value and the second value may then be used for inter-layer residual prediction in Scalable Video Coding (SVC) systems. | 10-24-2013 |
20140169470 | PREDICTION METHOD USING SKIP CHECK MODULE - Methods and systems may provide for utilizing a skip check module located in a video processing component to facilitate Scalable Video Coding (SVC) by determining cost relating to compression techniques. In one example, the method may include determining a location value associated with a current macro-block (MB), determining a source surface value associated with the current MB, determining a reference surface value associated with the current MB, determining a skip center value associated with the current MB, and calculating a cost value for utilizing a compression technique using the location value, the source surface value, the reference surface value, and the skip center value. | 06-19-2014 |
