  • Patent number: 8228983
    Abstract: The invention is used in video coding. Systems, apparatuses and methods for processing an order-16 integer transform from an order-8 transform are provided. The order-16 transform method involves expanding an order-8 transform by generating an order-16 integer matrix and a scaling matrix.

  • Patent number: 8175165
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and techniques based on an integer transform for encoding and decoding video or image signals, including an order-16 integer transform from a Microsoft Media Video order-8 integer transform with a high energy-packing ability and an improved data compression in the field of image and video coding. For example, a method and an apparatus are provided for deriving an order-16 integer transform from an order-8 integer transform in the standard transform of Microsoft Media Video. Eight additions and eight subtractions are used to assign the data elements to be transformed to an intermediate matrix; and then two fast algorithms for the computation of the order-8 transform may be applied to the first 8 vectors of the intermediate matrix, and the last 8 vectors of the intermediate matrix, respectively. The derived order-16 integer transform tends to produce small magnitude and high frequency transformed coefficients, and thus achieve high compressibility.

  • Publication number: 20110090961
    Abstract: The invention relates to adjusting the quantization parameter in digital video coding. A shift value (QP Shift) is used to adjust the quantization parameter. The shift value is determined in a determining step 101. The video nature is determined and compared with a threshold in a comparing step 102 to adjust the shift value adaptively according to the frame type in an adjusting step 103. The shift value shifts the quantization parameter in a shifting step 104.

  • Publication number: 20080284906
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a method for transforming a first coding coefficients of video signals into a second coding coefficients of the video signals. The device includes a first storing means for storing the first coding coefficients; a second storing means for storing a transform matrix; a multiplication means for multiplying the first coding coefficients by coefficients of the transform matrix; an addition means for adding each of values resulted from the multiplication operation of the multiplication means to form a sum; and a shifting means for shifting the sum to obtain the second coding coefficients. According to the present invention, signals compressed by various transforms may be transformed to each other, so as to make various compression signals compatible. Thus, the signals can be compatible with more standards and are more universal.
