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

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
