    摘要: A motion estimator 50 for image processing finds a motion vector from a search area in a reference picture to a source macroblock in a source picture by finding a maximum of a 2-dimensional normalised cross-correlation surface between the source macroblock and a portion of the reference search area using a transform domain.

    摘要: Motion compensation means for a time recursive filter includes a block motion estimation module (12) having an input video signal (1) and a input delayed output signal (6) of the time recursive filter. The block motion estimation module outputs block motion vectors (13) to at least one block splitting stage (14, 16, 18) which together with the input video signal (1) and the delayed output signal (6) of the time recursive filter is arranged to produce at least sub-block motion vectors (15, 17, 19) for input into image reconstruction means (9) to produce a motion-compensated image (11).

    摘要: A method and apparatus detects the presence of a watermark in digital data. The digital data may represent picture or sound information and maybe in the form of a broadcast television signal or a signal that has been recorded on a recording medium such as a compact disc. The watermark includes coefficients which have been subject to an inverse local orthogonal transform before being embedded in the input data. In order to detect the presence of the watermark, the input watermarked data is first forward transformed and subtracted from the watermark coefficients so as to derive the data coefficients. The data coefficients are squared and formed into a local average to obtain a measure of the power in the local average. The watermark coefficients are divided by the local average so as to scale them and the scaled watermark coefficients are cross-correlated with the input data to detect whether the watermark is present. The cross-correlation is performed by means of a multiplier receiving the input data as a first input and the scaled watermark coefficients as a second input. The resulting output detection signal is subjected to a thresholding operation using a threshold set in dependence upon the global average power of the input data set.

    摘要: A motion estimator includes a shape, address and vector generator to produce control signals according to a selected size and shape of a search area comprising scan lines. A variable delay reads reference image data of a frame in which a matching macroblock is sought from a store under control of a variable delay control signal from the signal generator to align a current serial input stream of a current scan line with a serial input stream of an immediately preceding scan line. The aligned reference image pixel data is matched against pixel data of a current macroblock using a vector from the signal generator to produce a score representing a quality of the match. A best score together with the corresponding best vector is recorded and the best vector output.

    摘要: A recursive filter system and method is provided. A weighted value of luminance and chrominance of a stored picture element is generated by summing weighted values of luminance and chrominance of a picture element and neighboring picture elements. A first proportional parameter for the stored picture element is generated with a sum of differences between the luminance and chrominance of the stored picture element and surrounding picture elements. A weighted picture element is generated from a proportion of the stored picture element and a complimentary proportion of the weighted value. Picture elements of the next image and a second proportional parameter are inputted. A filtered image is generated by combining a proportion of each input picture element of the next image with a complementary proportion of the weighted stored picture element of the first image. The filtered image is stored for corresponding combination with a succeeding image.

    摘要: Encoded symbols of a concatenated convolutional-encoded and block encoded signal are presented to a conventional first stage of a concatenated decoder, comprising in sequence a soft metric generator, a Viterbi decoder, a first de-interleaver and a first block decoder such as a Reed-Solomon decoder. The encoded symbols are also presented to a delay chain to produce progressively delayed encoded symbols. Where an output block of the conventional decoder is indicated as being a valid codeword by the first block decoder, the bytes in this block are marked as being correct. These bytes that are known to be correct are then used after interleaving and serialization as known bits input to a second stage of the decoder process operating on the delayed encoded symbols and incorporating a modified soft metric generator constrained by the known bits. This process can be extended to further iterations as required. A modified Viterbi decoder, which is also constrained by the known bits, may also be used in the second and subsequent iterative stages.
