Title: Method of encoding a signal into a bit stream
Inventor: KIRENKO IHOR
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2004-06-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of encoding an input signal into an output bit stream (BS). Said method comprises steps of applying (1) a transformation to a block of values (BV) in order to get a transformed block (TB), scanning (2) the coefficients (C1-CI) of a transformed block (TB) according to a coefficient scanning order, splitting (3) a scanned coefficient (Ci) into K groups of bits (Ci,1-Ci,K) such that at least a group of bits comprise at least 2 bits and such that said scanned coefficient (Ci) is the concatenation of the K groups of bits, entropy coding (4) a kth group of bits (Ci,k) using entropy codes into a kth entropy coded group of bits (ECi,k) and forming (5) a block bit stream (BBS) from the K entropy coded groups of bits of the scanned coefficients of the transformed block, said output bit stream (BS) comprising said block bit stream (BBS).

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un dispositif d'imagerie stéréoscopique comportant un dispositif pour l'affichage d'une image affichée pixelisée, et un écran de conversion stéréoscopique. L'écran de conversion comporte un réseau d'organes d'orientation de lumière, chaque organe d'orientation de lumière étant associé à un pixel sous-jacent ou un sous-réseau de pixels, et dans lequel des rangées alternées d'organes d'orientation de lumière sont disposés pour orienter la lumière en provenance du pixel ou du sous-réseau de pixels associé vers différentes positions de visualisation. L'invention assure le multiplexage d'images en rangées horizontales successives, au lieu de colonnes verticales, comme c'est souvent le cas. Cela peut résoudre une difficulté potentielle de sorte que l'effet stéréoscopique est perçu sur toute la largeur d'une image bidimensionnelle. Cet écran de multiplexage spatial peut être combiné avec un agencement de multiplexage dynamique pour accroître le nombre de vues. L'invention a également trait à un tel système de multiplexage dynamique. Le dispositif d'affichage peut être commuté entre des modes bidimensionnel et tridimensionnel de fonctionnement au moyen de matériaux électro-chromiques, ou par l'élimination de l'écran de conversion.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble déphaseur à circuit hybride composé de modules commutateurs MEMS RF et de circuits déphaseurs à retard de phase passifs. L'ensemble selon l'invention fait appel à une technologie d'interconnexion à faible perte, de préférence par bossage. La technique associée à l'ensemble circuit hybride consiste à séparer la fabrication des modules commutateurs MEMS de la fabrication des circuits à retard de phase passifs, ce qui permet d'éviter les incompatibilités et les bas rendements de processus, et représente une économie considérable en matière de coûts de production. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, l'intégration, sur un substrat commun, d'un ensemble déphaseur à circuit hybride MEMS derrière chaque élément d'une pluralité d'éléments rayonnants permet d'obtenir un réseau d'antennes à balayage électronique bon marché et compact.
