Abstract: What is disclosed is a system and method for adaptively reconstructing a depth map of a scene. In one embodiment, upon receiving a mask identifying a region of interest (ROI), a processor changes either a spatial attribute of a pattern of source light projected on the scene by a light modulator which projects an undistorted pattern of light with known spatio-temporal attributes on the scene, or changes an operative resolution of a depth map reconstruction module. A sensing device detects the reflected pattern of light. A depth map of the scene is generated by the depth map reconstruction module by establishing correspondences between spatial attributes in the detected pattern and spatial attributes of the projected undistorted pattern and triangulating the correspondences to characterize differences therebetween. The depth map is such that a spatial resolution in the ROI is higher relative to a spatial resolution of locations not within the ROI.

Abstract: Methods for determining reference type of each image unit and adjusting the corresponding lambda table of the reference type are disclosed. Embodiments according to the invention are used to improve the quality of video compression or reduce the requirement of memory buffer, memory power or computation power.

By fine-tuning the mode decision process, the coding efficiency can be improved. The mode decision process is modified by adaptively adjusting the lambda table. The lambda table is adaptively determined according to the conventional image unit type (such as Intra coded, predicted or bi-directional predicted type) and the reference type determined.

Abstract: An optical receiver receives an optical signal with a phase error and pilot symbols, and converts the optical signal into an electrical signal. The optical receiver identifies, based on the pilot symbols, a cycle slip due to the phase error and associated with a transition time. The optical receiver determines, based on the pilot symbols, a direction and a center of the cycle slip, and generates a rotation value based on the direction and the center. The optical receiver applies the rotation value to minimize the phase error in the electrical signal except for phase error associated with the transition time and to generate a modified electrical signal. The optical receiver generates an erase signal based on the transition time and the center of the cycle slip, and uses the erase signal to minimize an effect of the phase error associated with the transition time of the cycle slip.
