  • Patent number: 9767603
    Abstract: In order to process 3D input image data for a display of images on at least one display unit, the 3D input image data are provided scene-by-scene in accordance with an associated 3D image scene. The 3D input image data are each fed to a scene processing unit for management and processing. The 3D input image data are processed scene-by-scene in the scene processing unit, wherein at least two 3D image scenes are at least partially superposed and a whole 3D scene is formed and managed. Several 3D output scenes are derived from the whole 3D scene, for which 3D output scenes the superposition occurs in accordance with different perspective locations of observation and 3D output image data are produced in the process. The 3D output image data are fed to at least one rendering unit, which is associated with the display unit, for the production of target image data adapted to the display unit.

  • Patent number: 8417532
    Abstract: The transient problem may be sufficiently addressed, and for this purpose, a further delay on the side of the decoding may be reduced if a new SBR frame class is used wherein the frame boundaries are not shifted, i.e. the grid boundaries are still synchronized with the frame boundaries, but wherein a transient position indication is additionally used as a syntax element so as to be used, on the encoder and/or decoder sides, within the frames of these new frame class for determining the grid boundaries within these frames.

  • Patent number: 8385366
    Abstract: In the context of packet-oriented data transmission via a network, an apparatus for transmitting a sequence of data packets checks whether a packet is missing or faulty. In this case, a replacement packet is provided which is a valid packet with regard to a packet syntax which, however, has a predetermined contents characteristic. On the decoder side, a basic decoder recognizes the packet as a valid packet and decodes same, whereas an extension decoder can enable an error concealing measure on the basis of an indication in the replacement packet to the fact that this is a replacement packet, in order to provide a higher-quality audio reproduction.
