Patent EP-1059782-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BAUER ERIC JONATHAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: A network monitoring agent is disclosed that monitors network conditions, such
as traffic volume, and determines when to dynamically adjust the encoding scheme for
one or more connections. The network monitoring agent can select an encoding
standard based on, for example, current network traffic volume, network error
characteristics, time of day or day of week. In the illustrative network traffic
implementation, an encoding standard that provides a lower degree of compression and a
higher quality level is selected at times of lighter network traffic. Likewise, as network
traffic increases, an encoding standard that provides a higher degree of compression,
although at a lower quality level, is selected in order to maximize the network utilization.
The network monitoring agent notifies one or both of the devices associated with each
connection of changes in the encoding scheme. Generally, both devices must change the
compression algorithm at the same time, to ensure proper decoding of received packets.
The initiating device inserts a notification in a field of a predefined number of packet
headers to inform the recipient device that subsequent packets will be encoded with a
different specified encoding algorithm, until further notice. Thereafter, the recipient
device can load the appropriate codec to properly decompress and decode the received
packets.

Abstract: By using a two-part assembly of a rotary member (10)
bearing one or more wipers (14) clipped on to a
substrate member (1) bearing one or more tracks (3),
subassemblies may be supplied which can be used by
manufacturers of articles (20,21,22) in which it is

Abstract: The invention concerns image enhancement, particularly the enhancement of images which
have been encoded. The invention leads to a better image quality. The images may be part of a
video sequence for transmission, or which has been received after transmission. 
     One method in accordance with the invention removes artifacts from block transform-based
encoded/decoded images. Another method in accordance with the invention involves, in
sequence, enhancing a received image by separating the image into its constituent colours,
performing a filtering step, re-combining the colours, convolving the image with a weighted
filter matrix, and then re-scaling the pixels of the image. 
     The methods of the invention permit a method of performing a quality assessment on a
decoded image. The method of quality assessment comprises the steps of modifying the
decoded image to produce a substitute source image, and comparing the decoded image to the
substitute source image in accordance with a quality assessment technique, thereby producing a
quality assessment metric.
