Some configurations may use two different decoders, a first decoder that decompresses and downsamples an entire image and a second decoder that downsamples only a select portion under the magnifier window. The results of the two decoders are combined to produce a final video for display on the screen. | 12-03-2015 |
20150350566 | VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS WITH TRANSFORM UNIT SIZE SELECTION, MODE INFORMATION UNIT SIZE SELECTION AND/OR PICTURE WIDTH/HEIGHT DECISION, AND RELATED VIDEO PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF - One exemplary video processing apparatus includes a control circuit and a size selection circuit. The control circuit determines picture boundary information. The size selection circuit refers to at least the picture boundary information to select a size for a block associated with encoding of a picture, wherein selection of the size is constrained by the picture boundary information to ensure that the block with the selected size is not across a picture boundary of the picture. | 12-03-2015 |

20090128701 | System and Method for Selecting Clearly Defined Picture Elements of a Display - A system and method is provided for selecting clearly defined picture elements of a picture displayed in a video screen display by use of an operating element. The operating element can be rotated about its longitudinal axis. The operating element can be rotated with stop positions and controls a search beam rotatable about a center. The angle of rotation of the search beam changes with each stop position of the operating element and is variably adapted to the position of the picture elements such that the search beam hits exactly one clearly defined picture element in each stop position. | 05-21-2009 |
20100060792 | Video rotation method and device - A media processing system with an improved method and device for rotating a video image is provided. Embodiments of the media processing system include a video decoder with the ability to output decoded video in a landscape or portrait orientation. In some embodiments, the video output orientation is based on the physical orientation of the display as indicated by an electronic sensor. | 03-11-2010 |
20120162524 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIDEO FRAME ROTATION - Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for video frame rotation. The method includes receiving a first tile from among a plurality of tiles forming a video frame. The first tile includes a first plurality of macro pixels where each macro pixel interleaves at least one pair of neighboring pixels in a first orientation. Further, the method includes de-interleaving the first plurality of macro pixels into first pixels, mapping the first pixels into first rotated neighboring pixels in a second orientation, and interleaving the first rotated neighboring pixels into first rotated macro pixels forming a first rotated tile. | 06-28-2012 |
20130342762 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS WITH PICTURE ORIENTATION INFORMATION - Systems, devices, and methods for capturing and displaying picture data including picture orientation information are described. In one innovative aspect, a method for transmitting media information is provided. The method includes obtaining picture or video information, said picture or video information including image data and orientation information of a media capture unit when the picture or video information is obtained. The method further includes encoding said picture or video information, wherein the orientation information is included in a first portion and the image data is included in a second portion, the second portion being encoded and the first portion being distinct from the second portion. The method also includes transmitting the first portion and the second portion. | 12-26-2013 |
20150077636 | IMAGE DECODING DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF USING INTER-CODED PREDICTIVE ENCODING CODE - An image encoding device and corresponding decoding device are disclosed for achieving a high rate of compression. The encoding device includes an image conversion module that converts the direction of the images using right-left symmetry mode convention or up-down symmetry mode conversion. Encoding modules are used to encode both the unconverted and converted images. A mode selector module compares the quantity of codes in the encoded unconverted images and the quantity of codes in the encoded converted images, and selects codes that are smaller in the quantity of codes for output. | 03-19-2015 |
