  • Patent number: 9781404
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for transmitting two consecutive pairs of images. The method may include decimating each image with a ratio of 2, assembling the two decimated images of each pair in a composite image, transmitting the composite images, and reconstructing complete images from the composite images. In decimation, the information removed from the images of the first pair may be kept in the images of the second pair, from the spatial point of view, and the complete images may be reconstructed by de-interlacing processing from the composite images.

  • Patent number: 8947507
    Abstract: The method is for processing a multiplex image, the multiplex including at least one first view intended to be viewed by a first eye of an observer and at least one second view intended to be viewed by a second eye of the observer. The two views are spatially sub-sampled according to complementary grids and mutually spatially shifted. The method includes a demultiplexing of the multiplex image so as to extract the first and the second views. And, for at least one missing pixel of the first view, there is a determination of a first window of the first view containing the location of the missing pixel and representing a first detail in the first view, a determination of a second window of the second view representing the same first detail in the second view, and a formulation of the missing pixel by using the pixels of the second window.

  • Patent number: 8243195
    Abstract: A method for cadence detection in a sequence of video fields is based on at least a search for cadence patterns in a sequence of bits representative of the motion in at least a part of the field from one field to another in the field sequence. The signaling of field skip and/or field repeat commands as applied to the fields in the field sequence is considered during the cadence detection operation so as to field skips and repeats.

  • Patent number: 8004607
    Abstract: In a method for detecting the cadence of a sequence of images, each pixel in each current field in the sequence of images is compared to at least one pixel in at least one previous field. A pixel motion phase value is assigned to each pixel in the field as a function of the result of that comparison. For each block of pixels in the current field, a block motion phase value is determined from the motion phase values of the pixels in the block. The current field is segmented into at least one region, with each region comprising a whole number of blocks, as a function of at least the determined block motion phase values. A region motion phase value is assigned to each region, based on the block motion phase values for the blocks in the region.
