Title: Data encoding and decoding
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N19/91
Filed: 2013-12-23
Abstract: Encoding an array of data values as data sets 2030-2050 and escape codes 2070, the escape code comprising a prefix portion and a non-unary suffix, the coded suffix portion having a bit length dependent on the value encoded by the prefix portion such that for at least some values, the length of the suffix is greater than the length of the prefix. Preferably, the prefix is a unary or truncated unary encoded value. The relationship between the lengths of the prefix and suffix may be defined by a flag or parameter sent with the encoded data or may be defined by a table. Preferably the suffix length is an exponential function of the value encoded by the prefix, which allows the code to represent a large number of different values with a smaller maximum code length than standard exponential Golomb codes. In embodiments the data arrays are blocks of video data samples and the data sets are significance maps 2030 or maps indicating the positions of data values which are greater than one 2040 and greater than two 2050.

Title: In-band quality data
Inventor: VENU ANNAMRAJU
IPC: H04N21/647
Filed: 2014-12-23
Abstract: A method of transmitting quality data in a media stream is disclosed in which the media stream is sent in accordance with a media streaming protocol (e.g. real-time transport protocol RTP). The method comprises generating 501 data indicative of the quality of the media stream, wherein such data is conventionally associated with a first type identifier (such as Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) unit type 6 - for supplemental enhancement information / SEI). The generated quality data is encapsulated 502 in a data structure defined by the protocol wherein the data structure comprises fields assigned to specify data contained therein. The generated quality data is assigned 503 to a second type identifier (different to the first, for example NAL unit type 0, 30 or 31). A packet is formed 504 comprising the data structure and the packet is transmitted 505 in the media stream. By assigning the quality data to previously undefined/unspecified NAL unit types 0, 30 or 31, the quality data may be more efficiently exchanged between a media source and a consumer device to enable necessary corrective operations to be performed upon the media stream to optimise/maintain its quality.
