20100208800 | METHOD AND DECODER FOR DECODING AN IMAGE FRAME OF AN IMAGE FRAME SEQUENCE - The invention is related to a method for decoding an image frame of an image frame sequence and to a corresponding decoder. The method comprises the steps of reconstructing a representation of the image frame, classifying at least one block boundary as to be either high-freq or low-freq and filtering pixels of the at least one block boundary in dependency on the classification and outputting the filtered representation.

Therefore, filtering boundary pixels in dependency on frequency classification helps preserving film grain noise and random texture which are of relevance for video quality at high bit rates. | 08-19-2010 |
20110058608 | Method and apparatus for image encoding using hold-MBs, and method and apparatus for image decoding using hold-MBs - In video/image coding, macroblocks (MBs) are often intra coded in raster scan order, starting from one seed MB. The invention improves intra prediction for optimized usage of multi-core processors. Encoding starts from multiple intra coded seed MBs per frame, and continues with adjacent MBs. A predefined prediction spread pattern (growth pattern) is used that comprises simultaneous prediction of two or more adjacent MBs per MB. Adjacent MBs with high coding cost are called “Hold-MB” and can be held from being processed, until another neighbouring edge is available for prediction. Encoding comprises marking a MB with high coding cost for deferred prediction. This MB is skipped while the other MBs are encoded. When a further adjacent MB was encoded, the marked MB is predicted based on the adjacent MBs. Since a decoder receives the deferment marks and uses the same growth pattern, it follows the encoder, and predicts and decodes correctly. | 03-10-2011 |

20110249746 | METHOD FOR BROWSING VIDEO STREAMS - Video equipment, e.g. for TV producers studios, need to display multiple channels of bit-streams simultaneously. Decoding multiple streams of high bit-rate videos is extremely computational intensive. An improved method for browsing an encoded frequency domain video sequence comprises steps of determining a spatial and/or temporal reduction level for browsing a video sequence, determining according to the determined reduction level frames, fields or parts of blocks or macroblocks to be skipped for decoding, and decoding the remaining data to a video with lower spatial and/or temporal resolution. The reduction may include adaptive partial coefficient decoding, motion vector truncation and/or simplified deblocking filtering. The reduction of spatial resolution is advantageously performed in the frequency domain, so that the inverse quantization process and the iDCT processes require less computing. | 10-13-2011 |
