    Abstract: A video encoding system in which pixel data is decomposed into frequency bands prior to encoding. The frequency bands for a slice of a frame may be buffered so that complexity statistics may be calculated across the frequency bands prior to encoding. The statistics may then be used by a rate control component in determining quantization parameters for the frequency bands for modulating the rate in the encoder for the current slice. The quantization parameters for the frequency bands may be calculated jointly to optimize the quality of the displayed frames after decoder reconstruction and wavelet synthesis on a receiving device. Information about one or more previously processed frames may be used in combination with the statistics for a current slice in determining the quantization parameters for the current slice.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a device for coding a sequence including first and second digital holograms representing respective scenes, the digital holograms being represented by a set of wavelets each defined by a multiplet of coordinates in multidimensional space. The first and second holograms are represented by first and second coefficients respectively associated with wavelets. The coding method includes the following steps: for each second coefficient, determining a remainder by a difference between the second coefficient concerned, associated with a first wavelet defined by a given multiplet, and the first coefficient) associated with a second wavelet defined by a multiplet having as its image the multiplet by a transform in the multidimenisonal space; coding the determined remainders. The transform is determined by analysis of variation between the first scene represented by the first digital hologram and the second scene represented by the second digital hologram.

    Abstract: A system and method disposed to enable encoding, decoding and manipulation of digital video with substantially less processing load than would otherwise be required. In particular, one disclosed method is directed to generating a compressed video data structure that is selectively decodable to a plurality of resolutions including the full resolution of the uncompressed stream. The desired number of data components and the content of the data components that make up the compressed video data, which determine the available video resolutions, are variable based upon the processing carried out and the resources available to decode and process the data components. During decoding, efficiency is substantially improved because only the data components necessary to generate a desired resolution are decoded. In variations, both temporal and spatial decoding are utilized to reduce frame rates, and hence, further reduce processor load. The system and method are particularly useful for real-time video editing applications.

    Abstract: This invention describes a method for communicating crude motion information using tracking metadata and recovering more accurate motion information from the received tracking metadata and partial video frame data; in particular, we use metadata to convey crude boundaries of objects in the scene and signal motion information for these objects. The proposed method leaves the task of identifying the exact boundaries of an object to the decoder/client. The proposed method is particularly appealing when metadata itself carries semantics that the client is interested in, such as tracking information in surveillance applications, because, in this case, metadata does not constitute an overhead. The proposed method involves motion descriptions that can be used to predict the appearance of an object in any one frame from its appearance in any other frame that contains the object. That is, the motion information itself allows locations within an object to be invertibly mapped to locations within the same object in any other relevant frame. This is a departure from conventional motion coding schemes, which tightly-couple motion information to the prediction strategy. This property makes the proposed method particularly suitable for applications which require flexible access to the content.
