Title: Noboru Mizuguchi: Innovator in Video Data Encoding
Introduction
Noboru Mizuguchi is a prominent inventor based in Osaka, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of video data encoding, holding a total of 6 patents. His innovative work has paved the way for advancements in video technology.
Latest Patents
Mizuguchi's latest patents include a code conversion method and device designed to facilitate format conversion of user data. This invention modifies the bit rate value and VBV (Video Buffering Verifier) buffer size value in a sequence header of an input code. It also generates additional information to distinguish GOP (Group of Pictures) user data from other main data. Furthermore, a VBV buffer simulation is performed to multiplex the GOP user data in a picture user data region, ensuring that the operation does not fail, ultimately generating an output code.
Another notable patent is a method and apparatus for encoding video data for seamless connection. This method applies a signal recording technique that converts a video signal to a frame rate greater than that of the signal source. It achieves this by repeating specific fields multiple times and then deleting these redundant fields to create an intermediate signal. This intermediate signal is then compression coded to obtain the recording signal, which is recorded on a medium along with flags indicating whether a field was deleted and which field is first in the time-base.
