20130010063 | DISPARITY VALUE INDICATIONS - A particular implementation receives a stereo video and a disparity map corresponding to the stereo video, the disparity map including a sample that does not indicate an actual disparity value. The particular implementation determines disparity information corresponding to the sample and processes the stereo video based on the disparity information. Another implementation receives a stereo video and processes disparity information corresponding to the stereo video. A further implementation generates a disparity map, the disparity map including a sample that does not indicate an actual disparity value. | 01-10-2013 |
20100061478 | METHOD FOR SYMBOL SYNCHRONIZATION OF RECEIVED DIGITAL SIGNAL AND DIGITAL SIGNAL RECEIVER USING THE SAME METHOD - A method for symbol synchronization of received digital signal and a digital signal reception apparatus are provided. The method comprises steps of correlating the received digital signal with the received signal delayed by one symbol so as to obtain a first correlation value result as a combined effort of a strongest path and other paths; removing substantially effect of the strongest path from the first correlation result so as to obtain a second correlation result which exhibits contribution of a fastest path; searching a maximum correlation value and its position of the fastest path so as to determine symbol synchronization timing for initiating FFT processing. The digital signal reception apparatus is characterized by a symbol timing detecting unit for determining symbol synchronization timing of the fastest path through substantially removing the effect of a strongest path. | 03-11-2010 |
20100058406 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTENT COMMUNICATION - A system such as a multicast VOD system communicates content, e.g., delivers content or receives content, responsive to a user request for content and according to a schedule adapted to a user-specified acceptable latency for content delivery. The schedule may be modified to minimize initiation of delivery of content in response to the user's request. The schedule may also be modified to delay delivery of subsequent portions of the content as late as possible to allow subsequent requests to share a content stream while not exceeding the acceptable latency parameter specified by the user. | 03-04-2010 |
20100045876 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SENSING AN ATSC SIGNAL IN LOW SIGNAL-TO -NOISE RATIO - A Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN) receiver comprises a transceiver for communicating with a wireless network over one of a number of channels, and a signal detector for use in forming a supported channel list comprising those ones of the number of channels upon which an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) signal was not detected. The WRAN receiver performs a method comprising the steps of: dividing a total observation time looking for an ATSC data segment sync signal into multiple slices; computing at least one statistic for each slice; computing at least one overall statistic from the statistics computed for each slice; determining if the at least one overall statistic is greater than a threshold; and if the overall statistic is greater than the threshold, determining that an ATSC signal is present, otherwise, determining that an ATSC signal is not present. | 02-25-2010 |
