Patent number: 11917188Abstract: A compression system trains a machine-learned compression model that includes components for an encoder and decoder. In one embodiment, the compression model is trained to receive parameter information on how a target frame should be encoded with respect to one or more encoding parameters, and encodes the target frame according to the respective values of the encoding parameters for the target frame. In particular, the encoder of the compression model includes at least an encoding system configured to encode a target frame and generate compressed code that can be transmitted by, for example, a sender system to a receiver system. The decoder of the compression model includes a decoding system trained in conjunction with the encoding system. The decoding system is configured to receive the compressed code for the target frame and reconstruct the target frame for the receiver system.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: WAVEONE INC.Inventors: Alexander G. Anderson, Oren Rippel, Kedar Tatwawadi, Sanjay Nair, Craig Lytle, Hervé Guihot, Brandon Sprague, Lubomir Bourdev

Patent number: 11917142Abstract: A cloud service system manages a filter repository including filters for encoding and decoding media content (e.g. text, image, audio, video, etc.). The cloud service system may receive a request from a client device to provide a filter for installation on a node such as an endpoint device (e.g. pipeline node). The request includes information such as a type of bitstream to be processed by the requested filter. The request may further include other information such as hardware configuration and functionality attribute. The cloud service system may access the filter repository that stores the plurality of filters including encoder filters and decoder filters and may select a filter that is configured to process the type of bitstream identified in the request and provide the selected filter to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: WAVEONE INC.Inventors: Lubomir Bourdev, Alexander G.

Patent number: 11570465Abstract: A compression system trains a compression model for an encoder and decoder. In one embodiment, the compression model includes a machine-learned in-loop flow predictor that generates a flow prediction from previously reconstructed frames. The machine-learned flow predictor is coupled to receive a set of previously reconstructed frames and output a flow prediction for a target frame that is an estimation of the flow for the target frame. In particular, since the flow prediction can be generated by the decoder using the set of previously reconstructed frames, the encoder may transmit a flow delta that indicates a difference between the flow prediction and the actual flow for the target frame, instead of transmitting the flow itself. In this manner, the encoder can transmit a significantly smaller number of bits to the receiver, improving computational efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Oren Rippel, Alexander G.

Publication number: 20100034255Abstract: For collecting test data from different locations, one or more television apparatuses are disposed in different locations. In addition to decoding and playing received television stream, these television apparatuses contain sample generators for generating test samples based on the received television stream. To downsize the test samples, parts of the received television stream are replaced with placeholders. In addition, copyright materials may be removed and not contained in the test samples. These test samples are transmitted to a remote server via an upstream channel or a network other than a television network under test. With these test samples, a test television stream can be reconstructed to know signal characteristics and/or processing quality of the television apparatus under test.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2008Publication date: February 11, 2010Inventor: Herve Guihot

Publication number: 20090190031Abstract: A string matching pattern is detected in a subtitle text stream extracted from a television stream. If there is a matched string covered by the string matching pattern in the subtitle text stream, a predetermined response is activated. For example, if the string matching pattern is a phone number syntax and there is a sequence number matching the phone number syntax, the response may be set as calling a phone according to the sequence number. Usually, subtitles only last for a few seconds, but the matched string may stay on a screen longer so that a user can have sufficient time to write it down.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2008Publication date: July 30, 2009Inventor: Herve Guihot
