Filed:

Sep 8, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/555472

Inventors:

William L. Gaddy - Milford PA, US

Assignee:

Spinella IP Holdings, Inc. - Edison NJ

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382103

Abstract:

A method and system for determining an optical flow field between a pair of images is disclosed. Each of the pair of images is decomposed into image pyramids using a non-octave pyramid factor. The pair of decomposed images is transformed at a first pyramid scale to second derivative representations under an assumption that a brightness gradient of pixels in the pair of decomposed images is constant. Discrete-time derivatives of the second derivative image representations are estimated. An optical flow estimation process is applied to the discrete-time derivatives to produce a raw optical flow field. The raw optical flow field is scaled by the non-octave pyramid factor. The above-cited steps are repeated for the pair of images at another pyramid scale until all pyramid scales have been visited to produce a final optical flow field, wherein spatiotemporal gradient estimations are warped by a previous raw optical flow estimation.

Appl. No.:

10/589064

Inventors:

William Gaddy - Milford PA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709222000

Abstract:

Provided herein are exemplary embodiments of a system for and method of initially and dynamically allocating the available resources that affect video quality in an asymmetric endpoint network so as to provide an enhanced quality of video exchange. Relevant variables that may be dynamically configured to allocate resources include, but are not limited to, frame size, frame rate, choice of codec (e.g., MPEG4, H263, H263+, H264), codec bit rate and size of rendering window (which may or not be identical to the frame size).

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203, 709227

Abstract:

A system and method for establishing and maintaining two-way peer-to-peer network communication between clients who are behind symmetric firewalls/NATs is presented (FIG. ). In one exemplary embodiment, the inventive system discovery servers to ascertain the nature and port-mapping metrics of a given client's firewall/NAT. A systematic, multiple UDP Hole Punch method is employed for ports within a predicted range, and the source port of the first successful forwarding of an inbound packet is used by the client for subsequent outgoing traffic. Preferably, the method occurs symmetrically, thus ensuring that both clients' firewalls receive packets for which the source/destination ports and source/destination addresses fully-tuple-match with a previous client request originating from within the protected network, and therefore forwards packets to the respective clients successfully (peer-to-peer). In additional, the system and method allows monitoring, management, and prevention of connections by firewall/NAT administrators.
