Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selecting a motion vector (MV) to use in frame-rate up conversion (FRUC) coding of a block of video. In one embodiment, a first set of motion vector candidates is identified for FRUC prediction of the block. A search center is defined based on the first set of motion vector candidates, and a search window is determined, the search window having a selected width and being centered on the search center. A search for a selected MV is performed within the search window. In some embodiments, an initial set of MVs is processed with a clustering algorithm to generate a smaller number of MVs that are used as the first set. The selected MV may be subject to a motion refinement search, which may also be performed over a constrained search range. In additional embodiments, search iterations are constrained to limit complexity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for calibrating a first sensor in a changing operating environment by a calibration process. Sensor data are received from the first sensor and sensor values are received from a known calibrating sensor. A sensor specific model is maintained for the first sensor. Calibration needs are detected by estimating a drift and an error, taking into account a difference of sensor values to the known calibrating sensor and further taking into account a sensor profile of the first sensor. A correction factor or a correction model is estimated to the sensor data using said difference and used for calibrating the sensor. The correction factor or the correction model is derived from the sensor specific model.
