- Optimization and DSP-implementation of MPEG based coders with low latency
- Completely unsupervised face recognition database
- A/D conversion, synchronization and time-base correction of analog baseband TV-signals
- Basics of video processing
Low latency coding is normally done with
I-frame only coding. However, IP coding with a significant coding gain
with respect to I-frame only coding can be done with very low latency
as well. In this case, an intra-refresh algorithm has to be used. With
intra-refresh, at the borders of the intra coded blocks motion
estimation has to be restricted to certain directions. As a result,
excess data rate is required. We developed an algorithm, to nearly
remove the excess data rate.
A face recognition system has been
designed, which requires no interaction at all. The system detects
persons, defines whether the persons are known already or not, and
either updates the existing database of known persons, or establishes a
new database if a new person is detected.
Still today A/D interfaces of modern
multimedia systems have to be able to display signals from noisy
sources like tape recorders (VCR). In all known systems, PLL
synchronization is used with limited quality and not really satisfying
compromises with respect to noise reduction and time-base correction. A
completely different approach with near perfect results has been
analyzed, designed, realized in an FPGA-breadboard and tested in an
industrial environment.
In the first part, we give an easy to
understand though analytically well-founded explanation, why 120 Hz
processing is necessary with modern displays to obtain a satisfying
motion reproduction. In the second part, we cover the basics of color
reproduction and explain the effect of false color reproduction when
the wrong filters are used in the camera. The statement is justified
that many color analysis systems to not use the optimal color filters.

- Home Digital Storage Hierarchy and Consumer Storage Demand
- Personal Digital Storage for Mobile Applications
- Virtualization of Digital Storage in a Consumer Environment
This presentation discusses different
mobile and static usage models for digital storage in consumer devices.
These models define storage hierarchies that are useful for analyzing
the proper digital storage technology for a consumer electronics
application. Important characteristics of consumer storage devices are
shown and guidelines are given for how digital storage should be
designed in consumer devices. Demand for higher resolution content and
for capturing ever greater details of the life of family members will
drive increases in commercial as well as personal content storage
demand. Sharing of content within a home or over the Internet creates
much greater demand for storage since a shared file can be multiplied
many times through network sharing.
Vast and inexpensive digital storage
provided by hard disk drives, flash memory, optical storage and other
storage and memory devices has changed the face of mobile consumer
electronics over the last ten years and will continue to do so.
Elements of the mobile digital storage hierarchy can be combined
together to create hybrid storage combinations capable of better
performance than either storage technology by itself. By integrating
more elements of consumer applications into storage devices more cost
effective, higher performance and more reliable devices may be
constructed. The results of new applications and enabling storage
technologies will drive the demand for storage devices.
The
growth of storage in and around the home will require an integrated
storage network for managing, backing up and indexing all of this
content. This network can achieve new levels of efficiency if
technologies developed for virtualization in IT environments can be
applied in homes. Implementation of a virtualized integrated storage
utility into most homes with appropriate ease of use, suitable for
consumers, will benefit customers by providing greater access to data
as well as enhanced content protection using local as well as remote
storage. An important feature of such a home storage utility is the
automatic generation of metadata to characterize and index content.
With the creation of such integrated storage management whole new uses
for personal digital storage are possible which will create additional
demand for storage in consumer devices and in the local and remote
networks that support the retention of this content.
