摘要:
Files which are available for dissemination in a controlled peer-to-peer network are provided with a watermark comprising a large number of watermark elements. Upon download, the composition of the parts of the file which are obtained from a plurality of source stations provides a new watermark which can clearly be associated with the target station. By storing information about forwarded watermark elements of a network server, it is possible to reconstruct for each file the network station from which this file originates.

In a method and a device for determining an image quality of an image sequence comprising several images, the images are reconstructed from a data stream encoded by a predictive encoding process, and a respective flicker indicator is determined for an image range of the respective images of the image sequence, wherein the respective flicker indicator displays by two states whether flickering occurs or not in the image range of the respective image, an overall flicker indicator being generated such that the overall flicker indicator corresponds to that number of flicker indicators which display flickering, and the image quality being generated by division of the overall flicker indicator by a number of specific flicker indicators.

An encoded, digital video input signal having a base signal and at least one differential extension signal is transcoded by determining a first piece of page data and a first piece of transform coefficient data from the base signal; determining one respective second piece of page data and one respective piece of transform coefficient data from the base signal; and determining one respective second piece of page data and one respective piece of transform coefficient data from at least one differential extension signal. A third piece of page data is generated from the first and at least one second piece of page data, and a third piece of transform coefficient data is generated from the first and at least one second piece of transform coefficient data using a weighted addition. An encoded, digital video output signal is generated from the third pieces of page data and transform coefficient data.
摘要:
A method determines a predicted image area for an image area, in which a temporal predictor for the image area is determined based on a reconstructed image that precedes said image, a local predictor for the image area is determined within a reconstructed image area of the image, a margin of error between the image area and the image area predicted image area is determined by the local predictor using the reconstructed image area and by the temporal predictor using one of the preceding images. A predicted image area can be reconstructed. Also disclosed are an establishing device for carrying out the method for determining a predicted image area as well as a reconstructing device for carrying out the reconstruction method.
摘要:
Groups of pictures are formed, each group including successive pictures in an original chronological order which is coded by forming a prediction structure with at least one picture as an intra-frame, each being intra-coded, while other pictures in the group are inter-frames, each predicted from and inter-coded in relation to at least one reference frame. The prediction structure is designed such that each intra-frame is a reference frame from which at least one picture of a picture group that precedes the intra-frame as well as the least one picture of the group of pictures that succeeds the intra-frame are predicted. The inter-frames include several non-references pictures from which no pictures of the sequence are predicted. A transmission sequence having a chronological transmission order is formed from the coded pictures of the group of pictures, at least some of the coded non-referenced pictures being the first pictures of the transmission order.

A method is provided for encoding and decoding a sequence of digital data, according to which a portion of the sequence of digital data corresponds to a data block that includes several data packets, at least two data packets per data block containing an identifier. The position of the data packet within the corresponding data block can be determined based on the identifier, and the data is encoded or decoded by taking into account the identifier.

摘要:
Pixels in a digitized picture are grouped into picture blocks, which in turn are grouped at least in a first picture region and a second picture region. An overall motion vector is determined, through the use of which any shifting of the first picture region in comparison to the first picture region in a previous picture is described. The overall motion vector is allocated to all the picture blocks in the second picture region. A motion vector is determined for each of the picture blocks in the first picture region. The coding information of the picture blocks, the motion vectors and the overall motion vector are coded. A configuration for coding a digitized picture and a configuration for decoding a compressed picture are also provided.

A method and arrangement are provided for motion estimation in a digitized picture having pixels, the pixels being grouped into picture blocks. The pixels can be grouped into at least a first picture area and a second picture area. First motion estimation is carried out in a first search area in order to determine a first motion vector. Furthermore, second motion estimation is carried out in a second search area in order to determine a second motion vector. The first search area and the second search area are of different sizes.
摘要:
A method and a communication system are in which a first synchronization message identifying a data transmission method with the highest-level error protection that a first device is capable of executing is transmitted from said first device to a second device. In the second device, the data transmission method is detected from the first synchronization message. In case the detected data transmission method is supported by the second device, a second synchronization message is sent to the first device identifying the detected data transmission method. In the first device, the data transmission method is detected from the second synchronization message, and in case the detected data transmission method can be executed by the first device, the devices are synchronized with the data transmission method.
