Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing clinical protocols and/or computer interpretable guidelines includes receiving workflow data and patient data for a plurality of patients. The workflow data includes a sequence of care steps performed on each of the patients. The patient data includes clinical data collected from each patient. The patient data as of the time each of the plurality of care steps was performed on each of the patients is tracked. Once of the previous care steps for one of the patients is selected which cause at least a portion of the sequence of care steps and the patient data as of the time of the selected care step for the selected patient to be displayed.

Abstract: A system and method of processing a digital video signal for display on a display device, includes decoding an encoded digital video signal to produce a decoded digital video signal having a video source format; extracting coding information from the encoded digital video signal; executing a video quality improvement algorithm on the decoded digital video signal having the video source format using the extracted coding information, to produce a processed decoded digital video signal having the video source format; and converting the processed decoded digital video signal from the video source format to a video display format suitable for display on the display device. The system and method enhance the quality and/or reduce video artifacts in a video signal after it is decoded and prior to display on a display device.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing complexity in a color sequential display system that utilizes motion compensation and color conversion. A color sequential display system (10) is provided that comprises: a motion estimation system (14) that operates on a Y component from a set of YUV components to generate a set of motion vectors (36); and a complexity reduction system (22) that receives the set of motion vectors and the set of YUV components and outputs motion compensated red, green, blue (RGB) data (38), wherein the complexity reduction system includes: a color space conversion system (18) that converts from a YUV color space to an RGB color space based on a set of conversion equations (32); and a motion compensated color sequencing system (16) that selects a subset of the YUV components to motion compensate based on the set of conversion equations.

Abstract: A method of determining processing a coded video signal includes decoding the coded video signal; determining a global indicator value for a frame from the decoded video; and providing video processing to the decoded video of the frame based on the global indicator. Additionally, an apparatus for processing coded digital video signals includes a coded video decoder; a metric calculation module; and a video processing module, wherein the metric calculation module calculates at least one value of a global indicator, which indicates the quality of the coded video signal, and where the metric calculation module provides the global indicator to the video processing module, which selectively addresses the coded video signal depending on the value.
