Appl. No.:

11/492383

Inventors:

Shu Lin - Cerritos CA, US

Assignee:

Communications Coding Corporation - Cerritos CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
H03M 13/00

US Classification:

714800

Abstract:

The universal forward error-correction coding system provides adjustable code rates and coding gains to greatly benefit the design of many modern digital communications (data storage) systems. The channel encoding and decoding methods are universal such that a single encoder and a single decoder can be used to implement all the forward error-correction codes of different code rates. This universal forward error-correction coding system also includes a novel systematic code generation procedure that has the capability of generating many classes of codes that provide the best balance between coding gain performance and implementation complexity.

US Classification:

482 8, 482 1, 482 9, 463 1, 463 7

Abstract:

A system for encouraging a user to perform substantial physical activity. The system may include sensors that may be worn by the user while the user is performing a substantial physical activity, such as running or playing basketball. The sensors may detect the magnitude of the physical activity and may transmit data regarding the physical activity to a processing system. The processing system may display a reward to encourage the user for participating in physical activity and the reward provided may be based on the physical activity of the user.

Appl. No.:

11/795852

Inventors:

Shu Lin - Santa Clarita CA, US

Assignee:

Thomson Licensing - Boulogne, Billancourt

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382162, 3484091, 382199

Abstract:

An automatic process for performing CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) registration for film digital restoration. After three color components Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow of a picture are scanned into files, each component is divided into blocks, and edge detection is applied to each block, and an edge match is performed. The data of displacements is processed, and then affine transform parameters are calculated. The affine transform is then applied for each block, and warping is used to combine the color components and obtain the registered picture of a color component.

Appl. No.:

12/225403

Inventors:

Shu Lin - Santa Clarita CA, US
Auke Sjoerd Vanderschaar - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

Thomson Licensing - Boulogne-Billancourt

International Classification:

G06K 9/40

US Classification:

382260, 382274, 382275

Abstract:

Selection of a filter for filtering an image to achieve fast noise reduction while retaining picture details and edge sharpness begins by first determining the detail throughout the image. Detection of the image edges then occurs. Using the image detail and edge information, the filter properties are selected, including the number of filter taps and the filter strength.

Inventors:

Shu Lin - Santa Clarita CA, US

Assignee:

Thomson Licensing - Boulogne-Billancourt

International Classification:

G06K 9/48

US Classification:

382199

Abstract:

A method for edge mapping images for use in image processing. Edge mapping includes identifying base and non-base color components. A search window in the base color component is opened and the non-base color components are compared with the base component picture. The number of matched or unmatched edge points is then calculated. The best match can then be determined through testing or manual selection.

Inventors:

Shu Lin - Santa Clarita CA, US

Assignee:

Thomson Licensing - Boulogne-Billancourt

International Classification:

G06K 9/32

US Classification:

382294

Abstract:

A method, apparatus and system for image processing include a registration device configured to register component images for at least a block of an image to form a registered image. A quality control device is configured to receive the registered image, examine the registered image, and modify portions of the registered image to improve the alignment of the registered image. In one embodiment of the present invention, the quality control device includes user controls to perform quality control functions including communicating a command to the registration device to re-register an image modified by the quality control device. The user controls may include a control panel configured specifically for making the quality improvement changes required.

US Classification:

Abstract:

The Universal Packet Loss Recovery System is capable of recovering end-to-end network packet losses to obtain reliable end-to-end network delivery of multimedia streaming content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, where packet losses appear above the transport layer. This system incorporates the use of Packet Forward Error Correction Coding (FEC) with packet interleaving processing prior to transport. Packet FEC Coding is an error correction coding method at the packet level which improves link transmission reliability. At the source end of the packet-switching network, the Packet FEC Coding scheme encodes a stream of transport multimedia content packets by including redundant packets to allow for recovery of lost packets by the Packet FEC Coding decoder at the user end of the packet-switching network. Since lost packets appear only above the transport layer in the IP network protocol stack, Packet FEC Coding can be viewed as a transport layer or application layer coding method.
