Abstract: The quality of digital images recovered from compressed data in an inter-frame redundancy-removing scheme is enhanced using a self-adaptive feedback scheme in an image compression/decompression system so as to provide for the compensation of the distortion component from prior frame compression in subsequent difference frame compression. Each transmitted frame is stored after a full compress/decompress cycle, and difference data (which includes the inverse of the distortion component from compression of the transmitted frame) representing the difference between the stored frame and the incoming new frame is transmitted. Consequently, the quality of static regions in the recovered images may be improved with each subsequent iteration by taking the distortion component in the prior frame into consideration along with the inter-frame motion information. The feedback loop thus forms a self-adaptive iterative cycle.

Abstract: Processing digital information made up of a plurality of n-bit samples is performed by raising each n-bit value to an x-bit value, x being greater than n. The x-bit values represent mid-band values, wherein in this context a band includes a sequential set of x-bit values having n most significant bits in common and a mid-band value is then an x-bit value approximately centered between the lowest and highest x-bit values of a band including that mid-band value. In some embodiments, the digital information may comprise video information. Thus, the process may be applied prior to converting the video information from a first color space (e.g., a red-green-blue (R-G-B) color space) to a second color space (e.g., a luminance-chrominance (Y-Cr-Cb) color space). For a particular embodiment, n may be equal to five or six, and x may be equal to eight, however, in general n may be variable amongst different ones of the samples.
