US Patent:

8358700, Jan 22, 2013

Filed:

Jun 3, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/132407

Inventors:

Jian Zhou - Fremont CA, US
Jizhang Shan - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

OmniVision Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04N 11/04

US Classification:

37524024, 37524027, 37524028

Abstract:

A computer readable storage medium has executable instructions to select a plurality of macroblocks in a video sequence to be coded as anchor macroblocks, the anchor macroblocks distributed across the video sequence and facilitating random access decoding of a portion of the video sequence. The video sequence is coded into a bit stream. Auxiliary information associated with the anchor macroblocks is generated. The auxiliary information associated with the anchor macroblocks is inserted in a supplementary section of the bit stream.

International Classification:

H04N 7/32

US Classification:

37524012, 375E07243

Abstract:

A computer readable storage medium has executable instructions to select a plurality of blocks in a video sequence to be coded as intra-coded blocks. Aggregate intra prediction costs are computed for each intra-coded block relative to a corresponding previous intra-coded block. An intra prediction mode is selected for each intra-coded block based on the aggregate intra prediction costs.

International Classification:

H04N 7/26

US Classification:

37524015, 375E07126

Abstract:

A computer readable storage medium has executable instructions to select a plurality of blocks in a video sequence to be coded as intra-coded blocks. Intra prediction modes are selected for all intra-coded blocks in a macroblock based on original pixels of neighboring blocks. The mode selection of all intra-coded blocks can be conducted in parallel. The intra-coded blocks in the macroblock are predicted with the selected intra prediction modes based on reconstructed pixels of neighboring blocks.

US Classification:

705 1442, 37911206, 705 1441

Abstract:

This specification relates to tracking phone calls related to online content items. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of determining a probability that a call to a phone number resulted from a first interaction of a set of interactions. In general, another aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of determining a rank score for an online content item, including for each call of a plurality of phone calls to the phone number, attributing the call to an online content interaction of a set of online content interactions; determining, using the rank score, whether to provide the online content item to a client device; and providing the online content item to the client device upon determining to do so using the rank score.

Inventors:

Jian Zhou - Fremont CA, US

International Classification:

H04N 19/577

Abstract:

A pipelined video coding system may include a motion estimation stage and an encoding stage. The motion estimation stage may operate on an input frame of video data in a first stage of operation and may generate estimates of motion and other statistical analyses. The encoding stage may operate on the input frame of video data in a second stage of operation later than the first stage. The encoding stage may perform predictive coding using coding parameters that are selected, at least in part, from the estimated motion and statistical analysis generated by the motion estimator. Because the motion estimation is performed at a processing stage that precedes the encoding, a greater amount of processing time may be devoted to such processes than in systems that performed both operations in a single processing stage.

H04N 19/137
H04N 19/176

US Classification:

37524012, 37524024

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for selecting a coding mode are described. For example, the method receives at least one block of a signal to be encoded. The method determines a frame vertical pixel difference in the at least one block and determines a field vertical pixel difference in the at least one block. The method then compares the frame vertical pixel difference with the field vertical pixel difference to determine a first coding mode for the at least one block.
