Abstract: Device comprising: a rear panel comprising a network of backlighting elements, a front panel comprising a network of optical valves which are each capable of modulating the brightness of a single primary colour. By the modulation of chrominance which is added to the modulation of luminance for the backlighting elements of the rear panel, the device according to the invention makes it possible to display the images with even more contrast and better quality. A specific control mode makes it possible to avoid the colour “interferences”.

Abstract: A method and video capture device is provided having a front camera for capturing images of a front scene initially having an object of interest for the user of the device. A rear camera is also included and configured to capture images of the head of a user of the device. The rear camera also includes a processing circuit to estimate the eye movement of the user and the displacement of the object of interest in the front scene captured from the estimated eye movement of the user. The rear camera further includes a decision making circuit to determine, from the estimated displacement of the object of interest, if the object of interest leaves the captured front scene and, when that is the case triggers an action.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for bounding an object in a video sequence Fx,y,t. The method includes obtaining a subset of pixels located in the object to annotate, in each frame of the video sequence. Spatio-temporal slicing is performed on the video sequence Fx,y,t, centered on the obtained subsets of pixels, resulting in a first image Fy,t obtained by an horizontal concatenation of first slices, comprising the obtained subsets of pixels, and resulting in a second image Fx,t obtained by a vertical concatenation of second slices. A trajectory of the obtained subsets of pixels is displayed on both the first Fy,t and second Fx,t image. A bounding form around the object to annotate is obtained out of four points in each frame of the video sequence, wherein the coordinates of the four points of a frame t are obtained from the coordinates of the points located in the first and second boundary of the first and second image for that frame t.

Abstract: The application concerns a method for transmitting video data in a data stream and associated metadata, said metadata representing associated video data structure. The method comprises the steps of—determining the structure of the video data, —splitting said structure into chunks in an incremental manner, —transmitting said chunks in the data stream at time intervals before the video data it is related to. The application concerns also a method for transmitting fingerprint information associated with video data into a video data stream. The method comprises the steps of: —determining fingerprint associated with at least one frame of said video data, —inserting at least a message into the video stream comprising said fingerprint information.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for separating speech data from background data in an audio communication are suggested. The method comprises: applying a speech model to the audio communication for separating the speech data from the background data of the audio communication; and updating the speech model as a function of the speech data and the background data during the audio communication.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for navigating over documents represented by identifiers displayed on a navigation menu. Each document is associated with a plurality of numerical values characterizing it according to a plurality of criteria. Each identifier of a document is placed at a position dependent on a part of the parameter values associated with this document. The whole set of the documents is subdivided into a given number of regions. The sums of the values associated with all the documents of a region and corresponding to a certain number of criteria are virtually equal for each region. The outer contour of the regions is displayed so as to enable its selection. The selection of a region triggers the display in full screen mode of all of the identifiers of the selected region. The invention also relates to a display device capable of executing the navigation method.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for annotating a content element of a video stream which has been at least partially received by an electronic device, said method being implemented by said electronic device during a restitution of said video stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining identifiers associated with segments of a document. Each segment consists of a series of individual elements such as images or sound sequences. Each segment of the document is subdivided into a determined number of portions comprising the same number of individual elements. An individual element is extracted from the most central portion of each segment and associated with the segment as identifier. The invention also relates to the receiver capable of implementing the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to the technical field of recognition of objects in audiovisual documents. The method uses multimodal data that is collected and stored in a similarity matrix.
