IPC: H04N19/126
Filed: 2002-08-27
Abstract: An improved method and block transform for image or video encoding and decoding, wherein transformation and inverse transformation matrixes are defined such that computational complexity is significantly reduced when encoding and decoding. For example, in the two-dimensional inverse transformation of de-quantized transform coefficients into output pixel information during decoding, only four additions plus one shift operation are needed, per co-efficient transformation, all in sixteen-bit arithmetic. Transformations provide correct results because quantization during encoding and de-quantization (sixteen bit) during decoding, via the use of one of three tables selected based on each coefficient's position, have parameter values that already compensate for factors of other transformation multiplications, except for those of a power of two, (e.g., two or one-half), which are performed by a shift operation during the transformation and inverse transformation processes. Computational complexity is significantly reduced with respect to other known transforms without adversely impacting compression or quality.

Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting against memory addressing errors are disclosed. When data is to be written to a storage location in a memory, address protection information is calculated based on an address of the storage location, and combined address and data protection information is calculated based on both the address protection information and the data. The data and the combined address and data protection information are stored in the storage location. During a read operation, data and combined address and data protection information are retrieved from a storage location at a read address. Address protection information is recalculated based on the address from which data is to be read, and an addressing error is detected where the recalculated address protection information does not match original address protection information upon the basis of which the retrieved combined address and data protection information was calculated.
