Abstract: A method of frame rate conversion includes receiving multiple input frames including a previous frame, a current frame and a next frame. A changing trend between the current frame and the previous frame is calculated. The current frame is used for generating one or more than one inserting frame according to the changing trend. The inserting frame is output after outputting the current frame to achieve frame conversion.

These converted YUV components are input to a predetermined video compression codec for reducing the intra- and inter-frame redundant information.

Abstract: The digital video referencing frame image is compressed block by block by applying lossless compression algorithm to pixel components with full length, or 1 bit, 2 bits, 3 bits or 4 bits LSB bits truncation. If a sub-block has high complexity which results in more than 3 bits error for most pixel components, a transfer algorithm with quantization and VLC coding is applied to compress this sub-block. Should the complexity is higher than a threshold or at least one sub-block having error of more than 3 bits for most pixel components, truncating 1 LSB bit of sub-block with simple pattern to save more bits to be allocate to code the sub-block with highest complex pattern.

Abstract: The present invention provides method and apparatus of a fast DCT implementation. DCT calculation is combined with quantization scales by a procedure of pre-processing. During DCT coefficient calculation, only non-zero coefficients are calculated. If pixel variance range is smaller than a first predetermined threshold, a predetermined lookup table is compared to decide the DCT coefficients. When a pixel variance range of a block pixels is within the second threshold, coupled with the quantization scales, the pre-processing determines the amount of non-zero DCT coefficients need to be calculated. Only a limited amount of LSB bits within a block is applied in the calculation of DCT coefficients. A previously saved pixel with equal or closest pixel value is used to replace the operation of current pixel's multiplication.

Abstract: The differential value of the adjacent pixels is calculated firstly and is coded by a VLC coding. The VLC coding includes codes representing the Quotient and Remainder with a marker bit inserted in between. The divider is predicted with no code in the coded data stream. If three pixel components are presented in the same clock time, three VLC encoders and three VLD decoders are applied to encode and decode one pixel at a time. During encoding, both Remainder and Quotient of the same pixel component are encoded in parallel followed. During decoding, both Remainder and Quotient of the same pixel component are decoded in parallel and the results of the first pixel component are used a reference to decode the second pixel component which adopts the same decoding procedure and the decoded results of the second pixel component is used as reference to decode the third pixel component.
