Patent EP-2659229-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ABEN SJOERD
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 2010-12-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining a route between two locations in a navigation device by calculating the cost of paths between the two locations using a cost function. The cost function applies different weighting factors for the same type of attribute to line segments when the line segments are located in different areas of a map. As such, when the cost of a path is being assessed, the same type of attribute may be associated with different levels of penalty or bonus in different areas. This means that the route determined is less likely to avoid line segments that have a certain negative attribute in areas where the attribute has a less adverse affect.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un agencement permettant une prédiction de valeurs de pixel dans un décodeur d'image. Dans un décodeur d'image, on agence (500) un vecteur de référence qui est fourni par un codeur d'image. On détermine (502) une région d'initiation de pixels qui correspond à une région de référence de pixels au niveau du codeur d'image. La région d'initiation est déplacée dans l'espace par rapport à la région de prédiction selon le vecteur de référence et une partie de la région d'initiation chevauche une partie de la région de prédiction. Des valeurs de pixel sont attribuées (504) à des pixels de la région de prédiction dont on connaît les valeurs de pixel correspondantes dans la région d'initiation. Des valeurs de pixel de la région de chevauchement de la région d'initiation sont attribuées (506) aux pixels correspondants dans la région de prédiction, les valeurs de pixel étant attribuées (504). Par détermination d'une région d'initiation de chevauchement sur la base d'un vecteur de référence dynamique, des variations de caractéristique proches de la région de prédiction peuvent être utilisées lors d'une prédiction d'images, ce qui augmente la précision de la prédiction.
