Title: Regenerating lost or corrupted primary frames based on further primary and secondary frames
Inventor: DAVIES THOMAS JAMES
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2006-11-17
Abstract: A method of generating a robust archive digital video copy representing a picture sequence comprises: generating a primary encoded frame for each picture at a first, higher data rate, the primary frame capable of being decoded without reference to any other primary frame; and generating, for each primary frame, a secondary frame at a second, lower data rate, representing difference information between that primary frame and one or more other primary frames. On loss of or error in any primary frame, a picture representation associated with that primary frame can be decoded from the associated secondary frame and one or more other primary frames. A corresponding apparatus is also independently claimed, as is a method and apparatus for extracting digital video from an archive copy in which such primary frames are monitored 22 for loss or error and, where necessary, regenerated based on the secondary frame and another primary frame(s). Difference information may be motion vectors and differences from motion compensated prediction.
