Title: Video motion detection
Inventor: LIVING JONATHAN
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2005-10-31
Abstract: Video motion detection apparatus in which successive output images of an output video signal are generated with respect to images of an input video signal comprises means for applying a motion test to detect inter-image motion between two or more images of the input video signal. The motion test provides 2 sets of one or more motion vectors for use in the generation of a respective output image and test output images using the respective sets of motion vectors are generated. Image areas in the test output images pointed to by the motion vectors in one or both sets, are compared and if a motion vector has less than a predetermined degree of similarity between the image areas, the image areas are divided into two or more smaller image areas and the comparison is applied again in respect of each of the two or more smaller areas. The use of motion vectors for which the corresponding image areas in the test output images have less than a predetermined degree of similarity at the image area sizes tested is inhibited.

Title: Inter-symbol and inter-carrier interference cancellation in multi-carrier modulation receivers
Inventor: YEH HENG-CHENG
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 2006-09-07
Abstract: An MCM (multi-carrier modulation) receiver (such as an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or Discrete Multitone (DMT) receiver) uses sub-carriers (e.g. tones) to transmit information in a frame-by-frame manner. There is identified a first subset of sub-carriers that have negligible ISI (inter-symbol interference) and ICI (intercarrier interference), and a second subset of sub-carriers for which ISI/ICI cancellation is needed to improve performance. For sub-carriers in the first subset, conventional equalization is performed to obtain soft decisions. For the sub-carriers in the second subset, ISI cancellation is performed followed by ICI cancellation along with equalization. For sub-carriers in the second subset there are identified a series of third subsets (one for each of the sub-carriers in the second subset) which cause interference to the sub-carriers in the second subset. For sub-carriers in the third subset there are identified a series of fourth subsets from a previous frame that cause interference to the sub-carriers in the third set. For each element in the third subset, ISI cancellation is performed to eliminate the interference from the elements in the fourth subset from the previous frame to obtain a plurality of intermediate decisions. For each element in the second subset, combined equalization and ICI cancellation is performed using the intermediate decisions. The selection of the first subset, the second subset, the third subset, and the fourth subset is based on examining the frequency response of the communication channel.
