Abstract: An image processing system adapted to binarize images is provided. The system includes a component detector configured to receive an image and detect a plurality of components in the image. The components are detected based on a content of the image. Further, the system includes a logical splitter configured to split the image into a plurality of windows based on the plurality of components. The plurality of windows is of varying window sizes. In addition, the system includes a threshold detector configured to determine a binarization threshold value for each window. The system also includes a binarization module configured to binarize a plurality of component images based on the corresponding binarization threshold values of the component. Furthermore, the system includes a logical integrator configured to generate a binarized image. The binarized image is a logically integrated image comprising the plurality of component images.

Abstract: A method and system to decode a video stream are provided. The method comprises receiving macroblocks, filtering and decimating the macroblocks to create decimated macroblocks and storing the decimated macroblocks. The method further comprises creating a decimated reference block from one or more decimated macroblocks of a decimated reference picture and interpolating selected pixels of the decimated reference block to create an interpolated reference block. The method further comprises pre-processing selected columns of the interpolated reference block to create a processed reference block for motion compensation.
