    摘要: A method for real-time video encoding includes buffering frames in an encoder input buffer, retrieving the frames from the encoder input buffer, encoding the retrieved frames into a bit stream, monitoring the encoder input buffer for buffer overflow, and, if the encoder input buffer is about to overflow, encoding one of the retrieved frames as a pseudo-frame that completely references one reference frame of the one retrieved frame. Encoding one of the retrieved frames as a pseudo-frame bypasses a majority of the encoding procedures to improve the overall encoding speed. The method further includes monitoring a hypothetical decoder input buffer that models an actual decoder input buffer in a video decoder, encoding one of the retrieved frames with a pseudo-frame if the hypothetical decoder input buffer is about to underflow, and adding stuffing bits to the bit stream if the hypothetical decoder input buffer is about to overflow.

    摘要: A method is provided for processing minimum coded units (MCUs) in a Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) bit stream representing an image. A data structure is generated for storing MCU block numbers, corresponding MCU block coordinates, and corresponding MCU block editing lists. When an editing operation to the image is received, the editing operation is saved to a group of the MCU block editing lists of a group of the MCUs affected by the editing operation.

    摘要: A method for creating a 360 degree panoramic image from multiple images includes (1) computing a gross rotation error ΔR between a first image and a calculated first image rotated to be stitched to a last image, and (2) spreading the gross rotation error ΔR to each pixel on the panoramic image. Spreading the gross rotation error ΔR includes (1) computing a rotation angle θ0 and rotational axis n0 from the gross rotational error ΔR, (2) determining an angle α of each pixel, and (3) determining a compensation matrix Rc for each pixel using the following formula: Rc(α)=R(α/2πθ0). Spreading the gross rotation error ΔR further includes (4) tracing a pixel on the panoramic image to a camera optical center of the images to form a first ray, (5) determining a second ray originating from the camera optical center that would be rotated by the compensation matrix Rc to coincide with the first ray, (6) tracing the second ray to a second pixel on one of the images, and (7) painting the first pixel with color values of the second pixel.

    摘要: A method for detecting an image area in a digital image includes identifying in the digital image a first image region indicative of a background area and a second image region indicative of the image area, computing gradient values using the pixel values of the digital image, defining a list of strokes based on the gradient values, merging the list of strokes, defining a list of corners using the list of strokes, and defining an image area rectangle delimiting the image area using the list of corners and the list of strokes. The image area rectangle can be used to define a binding box for extracting the image area from the digital image. The method enables the automatic detection of multiple image areas in a digital image. Moreover, the method implements a robust algorithm for image area detection such that even imperfect image areas can be detected without errors.
