Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and program logic in non-transitory media to process video data for quality enhancement. Information is accepted from a resource constrained device, e.g., a wireless portable device related to the quality enhancement and/or environmental quantities such as ambient lighting for the device. The video data is processed to achieve quality enhancement using at least some of the accepted information to generate processed output. The processing of the video data includes processing when or where one or more resources sufficient for the processing are available.

Abstract: In one disclosed aspect, dynamic gain modifications are applied to an audio signal at least partly in response to auditory events and/or the degree of change in signal characteristics associated with said auditory event boundaries. In another aspect, an audio signal is divided into auditory events by comparing the difference in specific loudness between successive time blocks of the audio signal.

Abstract: Apparatuses for and methods of carrying out dynamic equalization processing of an audio signal, and apparatuses for and methods of controlling such equalization processing of the audio signal to dynamically adjust the time-varying spectrum of an audio signal to more closely match a user specified target time-invariant perceived audio signal spectrum while preserving the original dynamic range of the audio signal. The dynamic equalization is carried out according to a user-defined spectral profile specified by a control interface that allows a user to define, create, modify and/or apply the user-defined spectral profile.

Abstract: Processing an audio signal represented by the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT) of a time-sampled real signal is disclosed in which the loudness of the transformed audio signal is measured, and at least in part in response to the measuring, the loudness of the transformed audio signal is modified. When gain modifying more than one frequency band, the variation or variations in gain from frequency band to frequency band, is smooth. The loudness measurement employs a smoothing time constant commensurate with the integration time of human loudness perception or slower.
