11 results about "Motion vector" patented technology

In video compression, a motion vector is the key element in the motion estimation process. It is used to represent a macroblock in a picture based on the position of this macroblock (or a similar one) in another picture, called the reference picture.

Image vibration-compensating apparatus and method thereof

InactiveUS20070132852A1Reasonable priceSimple dataTelevision system detailsPicture signal generatorsDigital videoMotion vector
An image vibration-compensating apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus and the method are applied in an image-capturing apparatus, such as a digital still camera (DSC) or digital video recorder (DVR), for compensating image vibration when capturing an image. The image vibration-compensating apparatus comprises an adaptive edge extractor, a sub-region movement detector, a frame motion calculator, and a correcting vector generator. The image vibration-compensating apparatus analyses the difference between the current image and the previous image, and outputs the correcting motion vector to achieve the function of image vibration-compensation. In the image vibration-compensating method, an accumulate compensation mode is used to prevent fast motion of an image frame which will cause discomfort of the user's eyes when a relatively large image vibration occurs in a short period.

Method of motion estimation for video compression

A motion estimation method for video compression comprises the following steps. First, an initial simplex comprising three points is determined based on motion vectors in blocks of a current frame and a previous frame, and a point having a largest function value among the three points is replaced with a point having a smaller function value to form a simplex. The replacement is repeated until two points of the three points of the simplex converge to a same point. The iteration is performed by downhill simplex search including operations of reflection, expansion, contraction and shrinkage to find a point for replacement. The motion estimation method for video compression can also use multi-reference frames. An initial simplex comprising four points is determined based on motion vectors of a current frame with reference to a plurality of previous frames, and a point having a largest function value among the four points is repeatedly replaced with a point having a smaller function value to form a simplex until two points of the four points of the simplex converge to a same point.

Moving image processing apparatus and reproduction time offset method

A moving image processing apparatus comprises a moving image encoder which outputs the motion vectors of an encode frame, a reproduction time changing unit which, on the basis of the motion vectors, determines a motion quantity between a moving image frame with the motion vectors and the preceding moving image frame and calculates an offset for a reproduction time, a reproduction time generating device which generates a reproduction time of a target frame from a reference time and the offset for the reproduction time, and a reproduction time adding device which adds the reproduction time generated at the reproduction time generating device to moving image data output and encoded by the moving image encoder.
