Patent number: 9727055Abstract: Systems and methods for video processing and display are provided. In one aspect, a workstation is configured to determine a position of a remotely controlled vehicle when an image of the surroundings of the vehicle was captured, and to transform the image into a transformed image based on an estimated real-time position of the vehicle. In another aspect, a workstation is configured to identify an image captured prior to the time a remotely controlled vehicle changed its configuration. The workstation estimates a real-time position of the vehicle, and transforms the identified image into a transformed image based on the estimated real-time position of the vehicle, such that the transformed image represents at least a portion of a view of the surroundings of the vehicle at the estimated real-time position after the vehicle changed its configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventor: Kim Matthews

Video conferencing device for a communications device and method of manufacturing and using the same
Patent number: 9445045Abstract: A video conferencing device for improving video quality when a communications device is used for a video conference. In one embodiment the device includes (1) a data collection module for collecting data regarding the location and orientation of a user's face relative to a camera on a communications device; and (2) a facial correction module associated with the data collection module, the facial correction module modifying a user's facial orientation and characteristics for transmission during a video conference based on data from the data collection module and from an associated database of relevant facial characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventor: Kim Matthews -
Patent number: 8929456Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for video coding using compressive measurements. The method includes receiving video data including frames, and determining at least one temporal structure based on a series of consecutive frames in the video data. The temporal structure includes a sub-block of video data from each frame in the series. The method further includes obtaining a measurement matrix, and generating a set of measurements by applying the measurement matrix to the at least one temporal structure. The measurement matrix includes an assigned pattern of pixel values and the set of measurements is coded data representing the at least one temporal structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Hong Jiang, Kim Matthews, Paul Wilford, Chengbo Li

Patent number: 8411569Abstract: The present invention provides a method of splicing data streams flowing between an encoder and a decoder. The method includes accessing a first encoded data stream. The first encoded data stream is encoded by the encoder based upon a first buffer size associated with the decoder. The method also includes delaying the first encoded data stream by an offset determined based on a second buffer size associated with the decoder. The second buffer size is larger than the first buffer size. The method further includes splicing one or more second encoded data stream(s) into the delayed first encoded data stream.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2008Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventor: Kim Matthews

Patent number: 8161680Abstract: The current device will enable the plant owner to protect a plant during the winter months from the extreme cold and at the same time protect the plant from birds and insects during the summer months. This device can be easily opened to cover the plant and can also be easily collapsed when it is no longer needed. At least two different types of material can be used: one of colder weather and one for warmer weather. Different choices of material may be used depending on the particular environment. The device will be lightweight and extremely portable.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Inventors: Russell Sloan, Kim Matthews

Publication number: 20050270417Abstract: An apparatus and method for deinterlacing video images with improved slope detection is described. In one exemplary implementation, the apparatus includes an input buffer, a processor, and an output buffer. The input buffer is configured to receive a video stream in an interlaced format. The processor is configured to convert the video stream from the interlaced format to a progressive format. This conversion process includes calculating the slope for a diagonal line of an image at a pixel to-be-interpolated (i.e., at a missing pixel) using a slope protection operation to increase the accuracy of the slope calculation. The output buffer is then configured to transmit the video stream in the progressive format.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2004Publication date: December 8, 2005Applicant: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Hong Jiang, Kim Matthews, Lesley Wu, Xiaoyun Wu

Publication number: 20050270415Abstract: An apparatus and method for deinterlacing video images is described. In one exemplary implementation, the apparatus receives a video stream in an interlaced format. The apparatus includes a processing system configured to determine whether or not the video stream originated from a progressive format. Based, on that determination, the processing system selects one of two modes of operation to deinterlace the video stream: an interpolation mode of operation or a non-interpolation mode of operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2004Publication date: December 8, 2005Applicant: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Hong Jiang, Kim Matthews, Lesley Wu
