20110050997 | FLICKER SUPPRESSION - The invention relates to a method, device and computer-program product for suppression of undesired temporal variations, notably flicker, in a sequence of video frames. Histogram-based and similar approaches generally do not remove all flicker. Features that are resolved only in portions of the flicker cycle will manifest themselves as residual flicker. This effect is near-universal in bright regions of a scene. The inventive solution is a mapping that aims to resolve in the output only those features that are resolved in all frames of the flicker cycle. Use of time-maximal quantile values may preserve non-resolution of such image features that are unresolved due to intermittent bright saturation. Thus, in one embodiment, a reduction of resolution is attained by means of a pixel-value mapping based on selecting, over a time window, maximal and minimal quantile values, with maximal values being used for bright spatial regions and minimal values for dark spatial regions. | 03-03-2011 |
20110187926 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING JITTER - A jitter correction method of a transmitting device, a jitter correction method of a receiving device, a transmitting device, and a receiving device are provided. The jitter correction method of the transmitting device includes: determining a time stamp of a video frame; determining a transfer time of an real-time transport protocol (RTP) packet that includes at least a part of the video frame as a payload; generating the RTP packet including the time stamp and the transfer time; and transmitting the RTP packet to a receiving device. | 08-04-2011 |
20120169929 | Method And Apparatus For Processing A Video Signal - Method, apparatus and computer program product for processing a video signal, the video signal comprising a plurality of frames, wherein the frames of the video signal are received at a jitter buffer, and the frames are output from the jitter buffer at a variable output rate to account for jitter in the received frames. Variations in the output rate are controlled in dependence upon the visual information content of the video signal, the visual information content of the video signal being the portion of the video signal that is to be displayed when the video signal is played out. | 07-05-2012 |
20130229574 | TRANSMISSION VARIABLE DELAY AND JITTER INDICATION - Various methods and systems are provided for transmission variable delay and jitter indication. In one example, a method includes determining a variable delay reference (VDR) corresponding to an instantaneous jitter between an idealized transmission time associated with a packet for transmission in a transmission stream and an actual transmission time of the packet and providing the VDR to a receiver in a sub-header of the packet. In another example, a transmitter includes a MAC configured to include a VDR in a sub-header of a packet for transmission in a transmission stream and a PHY configured to transmit the packet including the VDR in the transmission stream. In another example, a method includes receiving a packet in a transmission stream; extracting a program clock reference (PCR) and a VDR from the packet information; and controlling timing of processing of the packet based upon the PCR and VDR. | 09-05-2013 |
20130278825 | ADAPTIVE PID CONTROLLER FOR AUDIO/VIDEO CLOCK RECOVERY - Systems, devices and methods are described including specifying a jitter response control parameter, receiving multiple timestamp pairs. A maximum jitter of the timestamp pairs may be determined along with an elapsed time, and a clock frequency may be adjusted if the maximum jitter is less than the elapsed time divided by the jitter response control parameter. The jitter response control parameter may be adjusted in response to changes in die jitter of the input A/V signal. Further, one or more Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller coefficients may be adjusted in response to the evaluated jitter of the timestamp pairs. | 10-24-2013 |
20130329130 | INTEGRATED VIDEO EQUALIZER AND JITTER CLEANER - An integrated system for adaptive equalization and jitter reduction of a video signal that includes an adaptive equalizer and a jitter cleaner located on one integrated circuit within a single package. An adaptive equalizer applies frequency specific signal modification to the received signal. A bit rate detector determines a bit rate of the video signal or the equalized signal. The jitter cleaner couples to the adaptive equalizer output and processes the equalized signal to reduce jitter in the equalized signal. A multiplexer receives the equalized signal and the jitter cleaner output and, responsive to a control signal, outputs either the equalized signal or the jitter cleaner output signal. A status monitor may optionally be included to compare the detected bit rate to a bit rate threshold, and a responsive to the comparing activate or deactivate the jitter cleaner and output either the equalized signal or jitter cleaner output. | 12-12-2013 |
20140184907 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING JITTER-RELATED DATA - A jitter-associated data generator is provided for generating data associated with jitter. The jitter-associated data generator comprises a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. The first circuit generates an output including frequency components in a first frequency band common to first and second jitter, from a received digital input, as digital data associated with first jitter. The second circuit generates an output including frequency components in a second frequency band corresponding to the difference between the first and second jitter, from the received input, as differential digital data. The third circuit generates an output including frequency components in a third frequency band including the first and second frequency bands, from the received first jitter-associated digital data and differential digital data, as digital data associated with the second jitter. | 07-03-2014 |
