Latest Patents
Krupiczka's latest patents include "Management and selection of reference frames for long term prediction in motion estimation." This invention focuses on selecting reference frames for use in a frame reference buffer in a video encoding system. The goal is to provide long-term prediction of motion in video sequences. Candidate reference frames are characterized by characteristic vectors, and a specified distribution of these vectors is maintained in the frame buffer. This allows for effective encoding of current frames based on the characteristic vector of the current frame and the reference frames in the buffer.
Another notable patent is "Phase correlation based motion estimation in hybrid video compression." In this invention, motion vectors for encoding a predicted frame relative to a reference frame are determined from the phase correlation of corresponding regions of the predicted and reference frames. Peaks in the phase correlation are identified, and their locations are used as candidate motion vectors. This method allows for the efficient identification of the best motion vectors for predicting blocks within each region.
