Abstract:
A method for enhanced video reconstruction, comprising:receiving encoded digital video bitstream data into a bitstream buffer, the bitstream buffer comprising a plurality of buffer portions; receiving buffered encoded digital video bitstream data into a Bitstream Parser-Processor (BPP); determining from the buffered encoded digital video bitstream data an initial state of a plurality of bitstream data components within the buffered encoded digital video bitstream data; deriving a second state of the plurality of bitstream data components, the deriving comprising the BPP interacting with at least one of the plurality of buffer portions, a high-layer state storage element and at least one of a plurality of enhanced bitstream data analysis and decision elements; receiving the second state of the plurality of bitstream data components and the buffered encoded bitstream data into a block decoder element of the plurality of enhanced bitstream data analysis and decision elements; decoding the buffered encoded bitstream data employing the received plurality of bitstream data components; transferring the decoded bitstream data to a frame buffer as a first video frame; deriving a third state of the plurality of bitstream data components using the plurality of enhanced bitstream data analysis and decision elements; and employing the third state of the plurality of bitstream data components for reconstructing the first video frame into a second video frame.
