Abstract: A method and a device for supplying a decoder with data stream such as compressed video signal including both non-predictive and predictive data frames of a common data type. A device comprising a decoder for service data is provided with (1012, 1020) a specific frame that is a predictive frame indicating substantially no changes in the service data in relation to a possible previous service data frame supplied. A service data buffer is monitored (1014) and in case it's at least near an underflow condition according to a number of predetermined criteria (1016), the decoder is fed with the specific frame in order to prevent the decoder from being disturbed due to a lack of timely provided proper input data (1018).

Abstract: A method (800, 820 ), device (900 ) and program product for compression video information is presented. The method comprises the following steps: projecting (803 ) points of a next image to a three-dimensional space using camera parameters and depth map and projecting (805 ) projected points from the three-dimensional space to reference image surface, thereby obtaining motion vectors for estimating changes between the next image and the reference image.

Abstract: A method and a device for transferring service data stream such as compressed video signal including both non-predictive and predictive data frames of a common data type. Larger non-predictive frames are transmitted on demand only (1014) upon occurrence of a triggering event (1004, 1006). Otherwise, solely predictive frames of smaller size are transferred (1008) to cut down the transmission delay.
