A Belén y a Fredi, por cuidar a mi hijo con todo su cariño mientras yo investigaba. A mis amigos y familiares por estar ahí, a veces es lo que más se necesita. Y, por último, quería pedir disculpas. A mi hijo Max. Porque cada página de esta tesis son horas que no he estado a tu lado cuando tú me necesitabas, perdón de corazón. ABSTRACT In the constantly changing world of image technology, many new tools have emerged since flat panels appeared in the market in 1997. All those tools went straight to the TV sets without any verification from the filmmaking or advertising industry of their contribution to the improvement of the image quality. Adding to this situation the fact that each tool received a different name according to the manufacturer, this new outlook has become complex and worrisome to those industries that see their final products modified and have no option of action.

  • Appendix a Estimating the AR Coefficients for the 3DAR Model
    Appendix A Estimating the AR Coefficients for the 3DAR Model This appendix presents the least squared solution (the Maximum Likelihood solution may be found in [149]) for the coefficients of the three dimensional autoregressive model as outlined in Chapter 2. The model is best discussed in its prediction mode. The prediction equation is as below where i (i, j, n) is the predicted value of the pixel at (i, j, n). N I(i, j, n) = L ak!(i + qk(x) + SXn,n+qk(n), j + qk(y) + SYn,n+qk(n), n + qk(n)) k=l (A.1) The task then becomes to choose the parameters in order to minimize some function of the error, or residual, t:(i,j,n) = I(i,j,n)- I(i,j,n) (A.2) The parameters of the model are both the AR coefficients a= [a 1 ,a2 ,a3 .. aN], and the displacement dk,l = [sxk,l SYk,l OJ. This section is concerned only with coefficient estimation given an estimate for the displacement. The coefficients are chosen to minimize the squared error, ;:(), above. This leads to the Normal equations [11, 32, 71]. The derivation is the same as the one dimensional case and the solution can be determined by invoking the prin­ ciple of orthogonality. E[t: 2 (i,j,n)] is minimized by making the error t:(i,j,n) orthogonal to the signal values used in its generation [71]. Therefore, E[t:(i, j, n)I(i + qm (x) + SXn,n+qm(n), j + qm(Y) + SYn,n+qm(n)' n + qm(n))] = 0 (A.3) 274 Appendix A.

  • Novel Source Coding Methods for Optimising Real Time Video Codecs
    NOVEL SOURCE CODING METHODS FOR OPTIMISING REAL TIME VIDEO CODECS A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Premkumar Elangovan Department of Computing and Advanced Technologies, Faculty of Enterprise and Innovation, Buckinghamshire New University Brunel University, West London July, 2009 ii Abstract The quality of the decoded video is affected by errors occurring in the various layers of the protocol stack. In this thesis, disjoint errors occurring in different layers of the protocol stack are investigated with the primary objective of demonstrating the flexibility of the source coding layer. In the first part of the thesis, the errors occurring in the editing layer, due to the coexistence of different video standards in the broadcast market, are addressed. The problems investigated are ‘Field Reversal’ and ‘Mixed Pulldown’. Field Reversal is caused when the interlaced video fields are not shown in the same order as they were captured. This results in a shaky video display, as the fields are not displayed in chronological order. Additionally, Mixed Pulldown occurs when the video frame-rate is up-sampled and down-sampled, when digitised film material is being standardised to suit standard televisions. Novel image processing algorithms are proposed to solve these problems from the source coding layer. In the second part of the thesis, the errors occurring in the transmission layer due to data corruption are addressed. The usage of block level source error-resilient methods over bit level channel coding methods are investigated and improvements are suggested. The secondary objective of the thesis is to optimise the proposed algorithm’s architecture for real-time implementation, since the problems are of a commercial nature.
