Patent CA-2332546-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for selective block processing
Inventor: KUROWSKI KORDIAN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for embedding and detecting a watermark in a data stream, such as a video stream. A texture criterion is evaluated for each block of the data stream. The texture criterion measures a variation of selected characteristics associated with each element of the data stream, such as luminance and chrominance. Only those blocks that are determined to have at least a predetermined degree of variation in the selected characteristic are selected for embedding of a watermark. By providing the watermark detector with a block selector that evaluates the same texture criterion as was employed in the watermark embedder, the detector attempts detection of the watermark only in those blocks having been determined to have the predetermined degree of variation of the selected characteristic, or greater. By attempting detection only in such blocks, the number of detection computations is decreased and the watermark signal to data stream noise ratio is increased, thereby facilitating detection of even weak watermarks.

IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for measuring emission time delay during irradiation of a sample (32). A mechanism (14) generates first and second digital input signals (16, 26) of known frequencies with a known phase relationship, and a device (20, 28) then converts the first and second digital input signals (16, 26) to analog sinusoidal signals. A radiation source (22) is modulated at a specific frequency and irradiates the sample (32) and generates a sample emission (34).  A device (36) detects the sample emission (34) and produces a first output signal (38) having a phase shift relative to the phase of the first input signal (16), and a mechanism (48, 50) converts the first and second analog output signals (38, 46) to digital signals. A mixer (52) receives the output signals (38, 46) and compares the signal phase to produce a signal (54) indicative of the change in phase. A feedback arrangement (56, 58) alters the phase of the second input signal (26) based on the mixer signal (54) to place the first and second output signals (38, 46) in quadrature.
