    Problems on Video Coding Guan-Ju Peng Graduate Institute of Electronics Engineering, National Taiwan University 1 Problem 1 How to display digital video designed for TV industry on a computer screen with best quality? .. Hint: computer display is 4:3, 1280x1024, 72 Hz, pro- gressive. Supposing the digital TV display is 4:3 640x480, 30Hz, Interlaced. The problem becomes how to convert the video signal from 4:3 640x480, 60Hz, Interlaced to 4:3, 1280x1024, 72 Hz, progressive. First, we convert the video stream from interlaced video to progressive signal by a suitable de-interlacing algorithm. Thus, we introduce the de-interlacing algorithms ¯rst in the following. 1.1 De-Interlacing Generally speaking, there are three kinds of methods to perform de-interlacing. 1.1.1 Field Combination Deinterlacing ² Weaving is done by adding consecutive ¯elds together. This is ¯ne when the image hasn't changed between ¯elds, but any change will result in artifacts known as "combing", when the pixels in one frame do not line up with the pixels in the other, forming a jagged edge. This technique retains full vertical resolution at the expense of half the temporal resolution. ² Blending is done by blending, or averaging consecutive ¯elds to be displayed as one frame. Combing is avoided because both of the images are on top of each other. This instead leaves an artifact known as ghosting. The image loses vertical resolution and 1 temporal resolution. This is often combined with a vertical resize so that the output has no numerical loss in vertical resolution. The problem with this is that there is a quality loss, because the image has been downsized then upsized.

  • Viarte Remastering of SD to HD/UHD & HDR Guide
    Page 1/3 Viarte SDR-to-HDR Up-conversion & Digital Remastering of SD/HD to HD/UHD Services 1. Introduction As trends move rapidly towards online content distribution and bigger and brighter progressive UHD/HDR displays, the need for high quality remastering of SD/HD and SDR to HDR up-conversion of valuable SD/HD/UHD assets becomes more relevant than ever. Various technical issues inherited in legacy content hinder the immersive viewing experience one might expect from these new HDR display technologies. In particular, interlaced content need to be properly deinterlaced, and frame rate converted in order to accommodate OTT or Blu-ray re-distribution. Equally important, film grain or various noise conditions need to be addressed, so as to avoid noise being further magnified during edge-enhanced upscaling, and to avoid further perturbing any future SDR to HDR up-conversion. Film grain should no longer be regarded as an aesthetic enhancement, but rather as a costly nuisance, as it not only degrades the viewing experience, especially on brighter HDR displays, but also significantly increases HEVC/H.264 compressed bit-rates, thereby increases online distribution and storage costs. 2. Digital Remastering and SDR to HDR Up-Conversion Process There are several steps required for a high quality SD/HD to HD/UHD remastering project. The very first step may be tape scan. The digital master forms the baseline for all further quality assessment. isovideo's SD/HD to HD/UHD digital remastering services use our proprietary, state-of-the-art award- winning Viarte technology.

The Important Frame Outlines to Know Both the markings on the ground glass and telecine calibration films are based on international standards that assure that an object framed in a given spot through the viewfinder will appear on that same spot in telecine. When shooting for television, one should be familiar with the following frame lines: Camera Aperture TV Transmission TV Safe Action TV Safe Title (not shown on most ground glasses) Please note that the frame outlines pictured above are for a Super 35 ground glass, and will be slightly different for other formats. Also note that TV Safe Title is usually not shown on most ground glasses. Full Aperture Corresponds to the full amount of negative film exposed. Caution: most ground glasses will permit viewing outside of this area, but anything outside of this area will not be recorded on film. This outline is usually found on ground glasses, but not in telecine. TV Transmission The full video image that is transmitted over the air. Sometimes also called “TV Scanned”. TV Safe Action Since most TV sets crop part of the TV Transmission image, a marking inside of TV Transmission has been defined. Objects that are within the TV Safe Action lines will be visible on most TV sets. This marking is sometimes referred to as “The Pumpkin”.

Since the original commercial telecine television camera was an 11 iconoscope11 camera which had a very large sensitive surface (about 11 11 3 x 4 ), a film projector was focused onto the sensor by using a standard projection lens as shown in Fig. 1.

Standard sound motion picture film operates at 24 frames per second while the U. S. standard for television scanning is 30 frames per second. The intermittent mechanism had to be modified so that the 1ength of time between "pu 11 -downs" a 1 te rnates between 1/20 and 1/30 second.

  • High-Quality Spatial Interpolation of Interlaced Video
    High-Quality Spatial Interpolation of Interlaced Video Alexey Lukin Laboratory of Mathematical Methods of Image Processing Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia [email protected] Abstract Deinterlacing is the process of converting of interlaced-scan video sequences into progressive scan format. It involves interpolating missing lines of video data. This paper presents a new algorithm of spatial interpolation that can be used as a part of more com- plex motion-adaptive or motion-compensated deinterlacing. It is based on edge-directional interpolation, but adds several features to improve quality and robustness: spatial averaging of directional derivatives, ”soft” mixing of interpolation directions, and use of several interpolation iterations. High quality of the proposed algo- rithm is demonstrated by visual comparison and PSNR measure- ments. Keywords: deinterlacing, edge-directional interpolation, intra- field interpolation. 1 INTRODUCTION (a) (b) Interlaced scan (or interlacing) is a technique invented in 1930-ies to improve smoothness of motion in video without increasing the bandwidth.

  • Exposing Digital Forgeries in Interlaced and De-Interlaced Video Weihong Wang, Student Member, IEEE, and Hany Farid, Member, IEEE
    1 Exposing Digital Forgeries in Interlaced and De-Interlaced Video Weihong Wang, Student Member, IEEE, and Hany Farid, Member, IEEE Abstract With the advent of high-quality digital video cameras and sophisticated video editing software, it is becoming increasingly easier to tamper with digital video. A growing number of video surveillance cameras are also giving rise to an enormous amount of video data. The ability to ensure the integrity and authenticity of this data poses considerable challenges. We describe two techniques for detecting traces of tampering in de-interlaced and interlaced video. For de-interlaced video, we quantify the correlations introduced by the camera or software de-interlacing algorithms and show how tampering can disturb these correlations. For interlaced video, we show that the motion between fields of a single frame and across fields of neighboring frames should be equal. We propose an efficient way to measure these motions and show how tampering can disturb this relationship. I. INTRODUCTION Popular websites such as YouTube have given rise to a proliferation of digital video. Combined with increasingly sophisticated users equipped with cellphones and digital cameras that can record video, the Internet is awash with digital video. When coupled with sophisticated video editing software, we have begun to see an increase in the number and quality of doctored video. While the past few years has seen considerable progress in the area of digital image forensics (e.g., [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]), less attention has been payed to digital video forensics. In one of the only papers in this area, we previously described a technique for detecting double MPEG compression [8].
