Title: Stereoscopic viewing apparatus and display synchronization
Inventor: BRANDSEGG RUNE
IPC: H04N13/04
Filed: 2012-11-30
Abstract: A stereoscopic viewing apparatus 16 is synchronized with a display 2. A signal 8 generated by or synchronised with the display 16 is transmitted. The signal 8 comprises a sequence of data packets (204), each data packet (202a-e) in the sequence comprising an identifying portion of data. The stereoscopic viewing apparatus 16 receives a data packet (202b) from the sequence of data packets (204) and may determine a subsequent receiving frequency from the data packet. A position of the data packet (202b) in the sequence of data packets (204) is identified using said identifying portion. Timing information related to the data packet (202b) is determined using said position. The timing information is used for synchronization of the stereoscopic viewing apparatus 16 with the display 2 and for determining when to activate a receiver 22 in the stereoscopic viewing apparatus 16 for receiving a subsequent packet. The receiver 22 may be deactivated if a pre-determined number of packets have been received. A further sequence of data packets may subsequently be transmitted; receiver may be activated to receive the further sequence at an expected arrival time. If a pre-determined time interval elapses from the expected arrival time the receiver may be deactivated.

Title: Image compression encoding pixels using descending bit-depths
Inventor: INGHAM-DEMPSTER TIMOTHY ALEXANDER
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2013-08-27
Abstract: Image compression encoding pixels using descending bit-depthsCompression of image data comprising indexing 57 each pixel in a group of pixels; setting a starting bit-plane according to a prominent value amongst the pixel values or coefficients 52 in the group 51; encoding one or more pixel values using the starting bit-plane; iteratively changing the bit-plane; and encoding 58 further pixel values using the iteratively changed bit-plane. In one embodiment the pixel values 52 are transformed T1 and indexed 50 such that they are generally descending. The starting bit-plane m is set to the bit-depth of the largest or most significant coefficient in the group 51. The index, n, of the last coefficient requiring m bits 56 is recorded, followed by the first n pixel values, each as strings of m bits. The bit-depth m is reduced by 1 and the algorithm iterates to encode a series of values at a lower bit-depth. The indices may be quantised. The transform T1 may be signalled in the bitstream. An independent claim is included for a method in which groups of pixels are arranged in a hierarchy or tree, which is traversed to decide a bit-depth in which to encode pixels of the group.
