Patent number: 9467697Abstract: A method for packetizing data representing a video sequence comprising a first frame and a second frame. The method comprising determining for at least one first area of a plurality of first areas of the first frame a second area of a plurality of second areas of the second frame such that, for different first areas different second areas are determined and such that, for each of the first areas, a measure of the distance between the second area determined for the first area and an area of the second frame whose location within the second frame corresponds to the location of the first area is above a value. The method further comprising grouping, for each of the first areas, data which the first area may be reconstructed and data from which the second area determined for the first area may be reconstructed into a packet.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2011Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Agency for Science, Technology and ResearchInventors: Yu Wang, Jo Yew Tham, Kwong Huang Goh, Wei Siong Lee, Wenxian Yang

Patent number: 8228994Abstract: A method and system for coding a multi-view video having multiple views based on temporal decomposition and view decomposition is provided. A multi-view video coding (“MVC”) system provides a disparity compensated view filter based on a generic lifting transform that is used in conjunction with a motion compensated temporal filtering and a two-dimensional spatial discrete wavelet transform to decompose a multi-view video into four-dimensional wavelet coefficients. The MVC system performs a hierarchy of decompositions for each view that may be a combination of temporal decompositions and view decompositions.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2005Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Feng Wu, Shipeng Li, Wenxian Yang, Yan Lu

Publication number: 20090314087Abstract: Apparatus and method for determining relative and/or absolute axial position of a conduit end within a fluid coupling includes application of input ultrasonic energy in the form of transient shear waves and analyzing the reflected energy. Application of the input energy collected at different radial positions about a first axial location is used with wavelet based correlation techniques to better analyze the reflected energy signals. Quality of the abutment between the conduit end and a surface associated with the coupling may also be determined as a separate or combined feature of the axial position determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2009Publication date: December 24, 2009Applicant: SWAGELOK COMPANYInventors: Richard A. Ales, William H. Glime, John Barry Hull, Jeffrey M. Rubinski, Michael Douglas Seymour, Peter C. Williams, Wenxian Yang
