Patent number: 10721284Abstract: A first endpoint device has access to common video data including common video frames and encoded common video data having the common video frames encoded therein. The encoded common video data is downloaded to a second endpoint device. After, or during, the downloading of the encoded common video data, live video frames are played in a play order. The live video frames are encoded in the play order into encoded live video frames. To encode the live video frames, each live video frame is predicted based on a previous live video frame that has been encoded and a common video frame from the common video data that has been downloaded in the encoded common video data. The encoded live video frames include indications of the previous live video frame and the common video frame used to encode each encoded live video frame are transmitted to the second endpoint device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Davies

Publication number: 20200134909Abstract: In various embodiments, a training application generates a trained encoder that automatically generates shape embeddings having a first size and representing three-dimensional (3D) geometry shapes. First, the training application generates a different view activation for each of multiple views associated with a first 3D geometry based on a first convolutional neural network (CNN) block. The training application then aggregates the view activations to generate a tiled activation. Subsequently, the training application generates a first shape embedding having the first size based on the tiled activation and a second CNN block. The training application then generates multiple re-constructed views based on the first shape embedding. The training application performs training operation(s) on at least one of the first CNN block and the second CNN block based on the views and the re-constructed views to generate the trained encoder.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2018Publication date: April 30, 2020Inventors: Thomas DAVIES, Michael HALEY, Ara DANIELYAN, Morgan FABIAN

Patent number: 10298943Abstract: In video coding, where differences between input picture values and picture prediction values are transformed in a block based transform, the differences are formed in a series of parallel steps. A first step conducted in parallel upon a first subset of pixels uses prediction values based wholly on previously processed blocks. This first subset can include anchor pixels which are not contiguous with any previously processed block. A second step conducted in parallel upon a second subset includes pixels which are predicted from pixels of the first subset.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATIONInventors: Marta Mrak, Thomas Davies, David John Flynn, Andrea Gabriellini

Patent number: 10225516Abstract: In one embodiment, a device de-multiplexes a stream of multimedia data into first and second media streams. The device determines that a portion of the first media stream is missing for co-presentation with a corresponding portion of the second media stream due to a present latency condition. The device associates the corresponding portion of the second media stream with a previously received portion of the second media stream. The device generates media data for the first media stream for co-presentation with the corresponding portion of the second media stream in lieu of the missing portion of the first media stream, based on a previously received portion of the first media stream associated with the previously received portion of the second media stream. The device provides the generated media data and the corresponding portion of the second media stream for co-presentation by one or more user interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Davies

Patent number: 10218979Abstract: Video coding and decoding techniques are provided in which entropy coding states are stored for regions of video frames of a sequence of video frames, upon completion of coding of those regions. Entropy coding initialization states for regions of a current video frame are derived based on entropy coding states of corresponding regions of a prior video frame in the sequence of video frames. This process may be performed at a video encoder and a video decoder, though some signaling may be sent from the encoder to the decoder to direct the decoder is certain operations.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Paul G.

Patent number: 10200692Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for processing a video stream in the compressed domain for watermarking, scrambling and other applications. Syntax elements are generated for input video as part of a video compression process. The syntax elements are entropy coded with an arithmetic entropy encoding process to produce a compressed bitstream for the input video. Regions of frames and related syntax elements of the input video are identified as candidates for modification. Based on metadata associated with a particular user, the syntax elements, the regions, and entropy coding state of the arithmetic entropy encoding process, bytes of the input video are changed to generate a modifying bitstream that is unique to the particular user; and modifying the compressed bitstream using the modifying bitstream to produce a decodable bitstream for the input video.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Davies

Patent number: 10174675Abstract: A single degree of freedom (SDOF) acoustic liner includes a porous face sheet, a substantially imperforate back sheet generally parallel to and opposing said porous face sheet and defining a thickness therebetween, and an acoustic core layer of contiguous adjacent resonant cavities disposed between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet. The acoustic core layer includes a first resonant cell having a first internal volume therein and a second resonant cell having a second internal volume therein different than the first internal volume. A cell partition wall extends between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet, and separates and seals the first resonant cell from the second resonant cell. In a thickness direction, and perpendicular to a plane generally parallel with the porous face sheet and the substantially imperforate back sheet, the first internal volume overlaps the second internal volume over the cell partition wall.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignees: General Electric Company, MRA Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Moses Martinez, Rudramuni Kariveerappa Majjigi, Steven Thomas Davies, Egbert Geertsema
