Abstract: A system and method for encoding video and reducing video artifacts in the encoded video are provided. The system and method of the present disclosure provide for enabling a user to simply select a preset (e.g., a group of encoding or re-encoding parameters) to fix or provide a starting point to fix video artifacts present in an encoded video (1114). Furthermore, the system and method of present disclosure flag, classify, and organize potential post-encoding related video quality issues (1306, 1308, 1310), e.g., video artifacts such as banding, dark noise, etc., that are detected during the encoding process (1304). By identifying and categorizing video artifacts, the system and method make the fixing of these video artifacts (1312) easier and more precise thereby increasing quality, saving time, and performance.

IPC: C08J3/20
Filed: 2008-11-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition de matériau comprenant une matrice polymère flexible et un colorant thermochrome inverse. Quand il est soumis à une source de chaleur, le matériau polymère peut changer de couleur ; il passe alors d'une teinte pâle ou d'une couleur neutre à une couleur plus sombre ou plus vive d'un changement Delta E (ΔE) supérieur à 3. Le colorant thermochrome inverse change de couleur quand il est exposé à une source de chaleur pendant une durée d'environ 30 secondes, et il peut être observé par l'œil humain non assisté dans des conditions d'éclairage naturel de jour ou d'éclairage artificiel ambiant normal. Un ou plusieurs colorants thermochromes inverses différents peuvent être incorporés en combinaison. La matrice polymère entoure ou encapsule une molécule de teinte solvatochrome présentant une structure de bétaïne et phénolate. La matrice polymère comprend un agent d'orientation dipolaire induisant ladite teinte solvatochrome à s'exprimer localement quand elle est soumise à un changement de température. Diverses utilisations pour la composition et les articles intégrant la composition sont également décrites, ainsi qu'un procédé d'indication de la température d'un objet ou des conditions environnementales.

Abstract: The invention relates to an environmental cell for use in e.g. an electron microscope. The environmental cell shows an aperture (15) for passing the beam produced by the electron microscope to a sample (6) placed inside the environmental cell. The environmental cell according to the invention is  characterized in that  a part of the environmental cell (14) is transparent to secondary radiation such as back-scattered electrons or X-rays. This enables the detection of this radiation by a detector placed outside the environmental cell and thus a much simpler construction of the cell.
