Title: Video encoding and decoding methods using residual prediction, and corresponding apparatuses
Inventor: YASHIMA YOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04N19/42
Filed: 2008-06-23
Abstract: A video encoding apparatus used in encoding of a multi-viewpoint image. The apparatus generates a synthetic image for a camera used for obtaining an encoding target image, by using an already-encoded reference camera image having a viewpoint different from the viewpoint of the camera used for obtaining the encoding target image, and disparity information between the reference camera image and the encoding target image, thereby encoding the encoding target image. A predicted image for a differential image between an input image of an encoding target area to be encoded and the synthetic image generated therefor is generated, and a predicted image for the encoding target area, which is represented by the sum of the predicted differential image and the synthetic image for the encoding target area, is generated. A  prediction residual represented by a difference between the predicted image for the encoding target area and the encoding target image of the encoding target area is encoded.

Abstract: A fence panel includes a pair of end caps and a pair of rails extending between the end caps. Each rail includes a longitudinally extending groove. A plurality of pickets extend between each pair of rails and are retained within the grooves. Each picket has an end with an end feature formed therein which permits the pickets to cant in the grooves during racking of the fence panel. In an implementation, the pickets are formed from short boards, with separate boards on each row providing the illusion of one solid board running top to bottom for each picket while not requiring a single continuous length board. Alternatively, the pickets are formed of longer boards providing one board running from top to bottom. The short boards for the pickets can be made from lumber mill board "shorts" or "drops," or alternatively made from recycled fencing materials. The shorts can be joined end to end to form longer boards.

Title: Image processing
Inventor: BORNFLETH HARALD
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2008-07-30
Abstract: A method and image processing system for correcting motion artefacts in captured projection images of a body part caused by movement relative to the co-ordinate system of an imaging system between capture of the images are described. A first image data set is obtained representing a first captured image of the body part for which the imaging system had a first geometry.  A second image data set is obtained representing a second captured image of the same body part for which the imaging system had a second geometry and in which the second captured image is from a different direction to the first captured image. The position of at least a first anatomical landmark point is identified in the first captured image from first image data set. The position of the at least first anatomical landmark point is projected into the second captured image. A  transformation required to map the position of the same anatomical landmark point from the second image data set onto the projected position of the at least first anatomical landmark is determined. The so determined transformation represents the true position of the body part relative to the imaging system when the second image was captured.
