20130202031 | GOP-INDEPENDENT DYNAMIC BIT-RATE CONTROLLER - A GOP-independent dynamic bit-rate controller system includes a user interface to receive one or more input parameters, a bit-rate controller and an encoder. The bit-rate controller regulates a bit-rate of an output bit-stream. The bit-rate controller includes multiple bit-rate modules to determine a bit-estimate and a quantization parameter, and a control module to calculate a convergence period based on the received input parameters and a frame rate. The control module selects a bit rate module based on the convergence period and the encoder generates the output bit-stream using the quantization parameter determined by the bit rate module. | 08-08-2013 |

20100158108 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIDEO ENCODING - An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to system comprises an encoding device. Said encoding device comprises a compression unit, a quantizer, a bit estimator, a bit rate encoder and a variable length encoder. An embodiment also is a method of encoding. Said method estimates a number of bits to encode a macroblock after compressing the data stream. Then the estimated bit encoded by a bit rate encoder and further quantized by the quantizer to get the final encoded bit stream. The number of bits required to encode a macroblock is estimated after the quantization process and before the encoding process. The macroblock bit estimator estimates the number of bits required to encode a particular macroblock depending on the quantized AC coefficients of that macroblock and the quantized AC coefficients of the neighboring frames normalized at a macroblock level. | 06-24-2010 |

20100067580 | NON-SCALABLE TO SCALABLE VIDEO CONVERTER - Systems and methods are for implementing a NSV2SV converter that converts a non-scalable video signal to a scalable video signal. In an implementation, a non-scalable video signal encoded in H.264/AVC standard is decoded and segmented into spatial data and motion data. The spatial data is resized into a desired resolution by down-sampling the spatial data. The motion data is also resized in every layer, except in the top layer, of a scalable video coding (SVC) encoder by using an appropriate measure. Further, the motion data is refined based on the resized spatial data in every layer of the SVC encoder. The refined motion data and the down-sampled spatial data are then transformed and entropy encoded in the SVC standard in every layer. The SVC encoded output from every layer is multiplexed to produce a scalable video signal. | 03-18-2010 |

20090154558 | METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE BIASING OF FULLY DIFFERENTIAL GAIN BOOSTED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS - Rate control algorithms are adapted to cover multiple encoding standards are described. A rate controller includes an input adaptation interface, a core rate controller, and an output adaptation interface. The input adaptation interface converts rate control input parameters of a target encoding standard to corresponding native control input parameters of the rate controller. The core rate controller is coupled to the output of the input adaptation interface generating output parameters conforming to its native encoding standard. The output adaptation interface is coupled to the output of the core rate controller converting the generated output parameters to equivalent rate control output parameters conforming to the target encoding standard. | 06-18-2009 |

20120287237 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING VIDEO SIGNALS, RELATED COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND ENCODED SIGNAL - An embodiment of a method is disclosed for encoding a digital video signal including a first video sequence and a second video sequence jointly forming a stereo-view digital video signal. The method includes: subjecting the first video sequence to discrete cosine transform, quantization and run-length coding to produce a sequence of blocks of non-zero digital levels representative of the first video sequence, subjecting the second video sequence to discrete cosine transform, quantization, run-length coding and variable length coding to produce digital messages representative of the second video sequence, merging the bits of the digital messages into the sequence of blocks of digital levels by substituting the bits of the digital messages for respective Least Significant Bits of e.g. the last digital level in the blocks representative of the first video sequence to produce an encoded digital video signal representative of the first video sequence and the second video sequence. | 11-15-2012 |
20140161359 | METHOD FOR DETECTING A STRAIGHT LINE IN A DIGITAL IMAGE - An embodiment is a computer-implemented method for detecting a straight line in a digital image comprising a plurality of pixels comprising the steps: detecting an edge in the digital image, generating a first straight line which passes through a first pixel of the detected edge, generating a second straight line which passes through a second pixel of the detected edge, which is different from the first pixel, determining at least two intersections with a boundary of the digital image for each generated straight line, determining a set of two parameter values for each generated straight line based on the respective determined at least two intersections, wherein the set of two parameter values uniquely determines the respective generated straight line, and detecting the straight line in the digital image based on the determined sets of two parameter values. | 06-12-2014 |
