  • Video processors for preserving detail in low-light scenes
    Patent number: 9888240
    Abstract: Video coding systems and methods are provided that protect against various artifacts (e.g., banding artifacts) in decoded frame content. The embodiments to protect against introducing artifacts include pre-processing the input video frame, controlling the encoding parameters and/or post-processing the decoded video frame. A method for encoding a frame may include calculating a dark-scene score for the frame based on measured statistics of the frame. The dark-scene score may be compared to a threshold to determine if the banding artifacts may be present in the frame. Based on the comparison, filtering parameters for the frame may be altered to reduce the amount of noise filtered from the frame. The frame may be filtered based on the altered filtering parameters and encoded.

  • Hierarchical Sharpness Evaluation
    Publication number: 20170357871
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for estimating quality of images in an automated fashion. According to these techniques, a source image may be downsampled to generate at least two downsampled images at different levels of downsampling. Blurriness of the images may be estimated starting with a most-heavily downsampled image. Blocks of a given image may be evaluated for blurriness and, when a block of a given image is estimated to be blurry, the block of the image and co-located blocks of higher resolution image(s) may be designated as blurry. Thereafter, a blurriness score may be calculated for the source image from the number of blocks of the source image designated as blurry.

  • Terminal
    Publication number: 20170293322
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a terminal, and the terminal includes a body, a cover body covering the body, a circuit board mounted in the body, a central processing unit welded on the circuit board, a control part mounted on the cover body, and a protection switch welded on the circuit board. A hard disk slot for accommodating a hard disk is disposed in the body. The cover body is detachably mounted on the body, and is configured to seal the hard disk in the hard disk slot. The cover body is opened to drive the control part to open the protection switch. An electrical signal variation is generated due to opening of the protection switch. After detecting the electrical signal variation, the central processing unit instructs the hard disk to perform data protection and powers off the hard disk.

  • ADAPTIVE COMPRESSION AND TRANSMISSION FOR BIG DATA MIGRATION
    Publication number: 20170214773
    Abstract: A method for optimizing migration efficiency of a data file over network is provided. Specifically, a total time of compression time of the data file, transfer time of the data file over the network, and decompression time of the data file, is minimized by adaptively selecting compression methods to compress each data block of the data file. For selecting a compression method for a data block, information entropy of the data block is analyzed, and a real status of computing and system resources is considered. Further, trade-off among the resource usage, compassion speed and compression ratio is made to calculate an optimized transmission solution over the network for each data block of the data file.
