Abstract:
For each content-mapped frame of a scene, it is determined whether the content mapped frame is susceptible to object fragmentation with respect to texture in a homogeneous region based on statistical values derived from the content-mapped image and a source image mapped into the content-mapped image. The homogeneous region is a region of consistent texture in the source image. Based on a count of content-mapped frames susceptible to object fragmentation in homogeneous region, it is determined whether the scene is susceptible to object fragmentation in homogeneous region. If so, an upper limit for mapped codewords for a prediction function for predicting codewords of a predicted image from the mapped codewords in the content-mapped image is adjusted. Mapped codewords above the upper limit are clipped to the upper limit.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of layered encoding, comprising:\n for each content-mapped image in a group of content-mapped images among a series of consecutive content-mapped images in a video sequence that collectively represent a scene, determining whether the content-mapped image is of a frame category susceptible to object fragmentation with respect to texture in a homogeneous region based at least in part on one or more statistical values derived from the content-mapped image and a source image that has been mapped into the content-mapped image, the homogeneous region being a region of consistent texture in the source image, the source image being of a dynamic range higher than a relatively narrow dynamic range of the content-mapped image; based on a count of content-mapped images of the frame category susceptible to object fragmentation in the homogeneous region among the group of content-mapped images, determining whether the scene is of a scene category susceptible to object fragmentation in the homogeneous region; in response to determining that the scene is of the scene category susceptible to object fragmentation in the homogeneous region, adjusting an upper limit for mapped codewords for a prediction function for predicting codewords of a predicted image from the mapped codewords in the content-mapped image, mapped codewords above the upper limit being clipped to the upper limit, the upper limit being selected to prevent object fragmentation in the homogeneous region in reconstructed images generated by downstream devices.
