Filed: 2009-04-01
Abstract: A method is provided that detects image points in images from a video sequence where 3D points are visible that do not lie on the ground (or more generally a basic 3D surface). The method involves overall transforms from images from the video sequence for time points T' in a range of time points onto an image from the video sequence for a selected time point T. The overall transforms associate basic regions in the image for the selected time point T to further regions in the images for other time points T'. A set of difference measures between basic data representative of statistical distribution of values derived from the image for image positions in the basic region and the further regions. For each of the basic regions, an accumulated value of the difference measures in the set is computed. In this way it can be detected whether points in regions that show textured surfaces are outside the basic 3D surface.

IPC: G10L19/018
Filed: 2009-09-23
Abstract: Every watermarking processing needs a detection metric to decide at decoder side whether audio signal content is marked, and which symbol is embedded inside the audio signal content. The invention provides a new detection metric that achieves a reliable detection of watermarks in the presence of additional noise and echoes. This is performed by taking into account the information contained in the echoes of the received audio signal in the decision metric and comparing it with the corresponding metric obtained from decoding a non-marked audio signal, based on calculating the false positive detection rates of the reference sequences for multiple peaks. The watermark symbol corresponding to the reference sequence having the lowest false positive error is selected as the embedded one.

Abstract: An improved hold-off algorithm that assures that all data associated with all trigger events in a data signal are displayed uses a designated interval starting with a first trigger event (A) to determine whether any subsequent trigger events (B-F) occurred within the designated interval. A first display frame is drawn based upon the first trigger event. A next display frame is drawn based either on the next trigger event if that occurs outside the designated interval, or based on the last trigger event (F) that occurred within the designated interval. In the latter case the two display frames provide an overlap to assure that no data related to the trigger events is lost on the display.
