    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating for at least one macroblock of a high resolution image at least one motion predictor from motion data associated to macroblock(s) of a low resolution image. The method comprises the following steps: —defining a virtual structure made up of non overlapping macroblocks, called virtual base layer macroblocks; —identifying for the high resolution macroblock corresponding virtual base layer macroblocks in the virtual image on the basis of the location of the high resolution macroblock within the high resolution image and on the basis of the ratios of low resolution and high resolution images dimensions; —deriving, for each identified virtual base layer macroblocks, motion data from motion data associated to at least one macroblock of a corresponding low resolution macroblocks pair on the basis of the field/frame mode of the corresponding low resolution macroblocks pair and on the basis of the field/frame mode of the high resolution macroblock; —resampling motion data associated to the corresponding virtual base layer macroblocks so as to generate the at least one motion predictor.

    Abstract: A system and method for ensuring large and frequent updates to a data warehouse. The process leverages a set of temporary staging tables to track the updates. A set of intermediate steps are performed to accomplish bulk deletions of the outdated changed records, and perform modifications to the map tables for models such as snowflake. Finally, bulk load operations load the updates and insert them into the final dimension tables. The process ensures performance comparable to insertion-only schemes with at most only slight performance degradation. Furthermore, a modified process is applied on the newfact data warehouse dimension model. The process can be readily adapted to handle star schema and other hierarchical data warehouse models.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide histogram-based methods and system to estimate the transfer function of an ADC, and subsequently to linearize a non-linear ADC transfer function. Embodiments include blind algorithms that require no a priori knowledge of the input signal distribution. Embodiments can be implemented using cumulative (i.e., cumulative distribution function (CDF)) or non-cumulative (i.e., probability density function (PDF)) histograms. According to embodiments, a non-linear transfer function can be estimated by linearly approximating successive local intervals of the transfer function. Linearly approximated successive local intervals of the transfer function can then be used to fully characterize and closely estimate the transfer function.
