摘要:
The invention teaches a media container file comprising media data organized into media source blocks. The media source blocks are partitioned into source symbols that can be processed by a forward error correction (FEC) algorithm for generation of FEC redundancy data. Information of this source block partitioning is included in the file in addition to the source blocks. The container file also comprises meta data providing an association between the media source blocks and the partitioning information. The container file can be employed by a media server in a media session for compiling media data packets to be transmitted to requesting clients without the need of extensive data processing before calculating FEC data.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a new type of random access point adapted to be included in a media representation comprising a plurality of data objects. The random access point is characterized by a reference to a data element in another data object of said plurality of data objects, wherein said referenced data element at least partly describes how to reconstruct media from said media representation. The invention further relates to a method and apparatus of reconstructing media from a media representation. The method comprises receiving a data object comprising at least one reference to a data element in another data object of the media representation; and re-constructing the media by use of information associated with said referenced data element(s).

In video encoding and decoding predictions may be generated by intra-frame prediction. Intra-frame prediction uses reconstructed pixels in a reconstructed frame. Intra-frame prediction is performed by extending the reconstructed pixels into a predicted block using intra-frame prediction modes, each intra-frame prediction mode indicating a direction of the extension. In order to reduce the number of possible intra-frame prediction modes, a subset is selected from a predetermined set of possible intra-frame prediction modes. A subset of intra-frame prediction modes can be created by forming preselection sets of intra-frame prediction modes on the basis of similarity of their associated predicted blocks and selecting a representative intra-frame prediction mode from each preselection set.

A method of encoding a plurality of adaptive filter coefficients (104, 107, 112) into a bitstream (110). The method comprises the steps of entropy encoding (109) the adaptive filter coefficients (104, 107, 112) into the bitstream (110), whereby a prediction (202) for an instance (204) of the adaptive filter coefficients is determined (201) based on at least one of the remaining adaptive filter coefficients (206), a prediction error (205) is determined (203) based on the difference between the instance (204) of the adaptive filter coefficients and the prediction (202), and wherein the step of entropy encoding (109) the plurality of adaptive filter coefficients (104, 107, 112) comprises entropy encoding (109) the prediction error (205) for the instance (204) of the adaptive filter coefficients and entropy encoding (109) the remaining adaptive filter coefficients (206). Further is provided a corresponding method of decoding a bitstream (110) of encoded adaptive filter coefficients into decoded adaptive filter coefficients (116, 118, 120, 123).

Co-processing of a video frame (32) and its associated depth map (34) suitable for free viewpoint television involves detecting respective edges (70, 71, 80, 81) in the video frame (32) and the depth map (34). The edges (70, 71, 80, 81) are aligned and used to identify any pixels (90-92) in the depth map (34) or the video frame (32) having incorrect depth values or color values based on the positions of the pixels in the depth map (34)or the video frame (32) relative an edge (80) in 5 the depth map (34) and a corresponding, aligned edge (70) in the video frame (32). The depth values or color values of the identified pixels (90-92) can then be corrected in order to improve the accuracy of the depth map (32) or video frame (34).

The invention involves collective management of video and audio content in a content provider. The video and audio content is available in multiple potential versions, e.g. in the form of scalable media or media pre-encoded to fixed bandwidth levels. The video and audio data is associated with bandwidth share information enabling estimation of a respective apportionment of a total available bandwidth to the video and audio content. The provider uses this share information and information of the total assignable bandwidth level for providing a respective video version and audio version from the multiple potential versions. This allows for increased user-quality when rendering the video and audio data as optimal video and audio version can be dynamically provided during the media session.
摘要:
A method of encoding an input video frame into an encoded video frame comprises the steps of disassembling the input video frame into a plurality of blocks of pixels. For each block being a current block, the method further comprises generating a corresponding predicted block from already reconstructed pixels, generating a residual block by subtracting the predicted block from the current block, generating a reconstructed block from the residual block and the predicted block, and generating the encoded video frame from the residual block The method further entails creating a local structure of reconstructed pixels in a region of the predicted block and aligning the predicted block with the local structure to produce an aligned predicted block, wherein the aligned predicted block is used in the steps of generating the residual block and generating the corresponding reconstructed block.
