Abstract: In a video signal encoding method and apparatus, a video
signal transmitting method, and the recording medium, hierarchical
encoding of image data implies problems in that a compressing
efficiency is reduced as the number of hierarchical levels is
increased and that the image quality is degraded particularly in
lower-level hierarchical images. After data D31, D33, D35 at
respective hierarchical levels are generated by an average value
calculation, pixel data which can be restored by arithmetic
operations using pixel data at adjacent higher hierarchical levels
and pixel data at their own hierarchical levels are thinned, and
higher-level hierarchical data are compressively coded with larger
numbers of quantization bits. Since the amount of pixel data to be
transmitted can be reduced by the thinning, it is possible to
suppress an increase in number of pixels to be transmitted, caused
by the hierarchical structure. In addition, higher-level
hierarchical data are assigned larger numbers of quantization bits,
so that degradation in image quality due to quantization errors at
the higher hierarchical levels can be reduced in lower-level
hierarchical images.

Title: Instance-reduction algorithm for garbage-collected language
Inventor: CHAPPELL THOMAS
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A system and method for reducing object instances and making efficient use of memory. A WeakHashMap class provided by the Java programming language is utilized to maintain a map of unique objects in memory. When a new candidate object is presented, the map is searched for an equivalent object instance and returned for use if found. If an equivalent object instance is not found, the new candidate object is unique, and is therefore added to the map. Each entry of the map stores key and value pairs. In adding the new candidate object to the map, the key portion of the entry is set to the new candidate object. The value portion of the entry is set to a weak reference which also refers to the new candidate object. Once an object in the map is no longer in use, the object is automatically purged from the memory by making use of automatic garbage collection capabilities provided by Java.
