Padding, I.e., Filling Nonobject Values In An Arbitrary Shaped Block For Motion Estimation Purposes (epo) Patents (Class 375/E7.12)
  • Circuitry for padded communication protocols
    Patent number: 8923440
    Abstract: Transmitter and receiver circuitry for 64b/66b encoding or other similar padded data signalling. The required transmitter clock circuitry is simplified by using one clock signal source as a basis for at least partly processing the data both before and after padding. Appropriate frequency multiplication and division factors are employed to make this possible. Similar techniques are used in receiver circuitry.

  • Method and apparatus for encoding interplaced macroblock texture information
    Patent number: RE41383
    Abstract: A method for padding interlaced texture information on a reference VOP to perform a motion estimation detects whether said each texture macroblock of the reference VOP is a boundary block or not. After the undefined texture pixels of the boundary block are extrapolated from the defined texture pixels thereof by using a horizontal repetitive padding, a transparent row padding and a transparent field padding sequentially, an undefined adjacent block is expanded based on the extrapolated boundary block.
