Latest Patents
Fok's latest patents include a "Motion Compensated Frame Rate Conversion System and Method." This invention describes systems and methods that convert an input video sequence at a first frame rate to an output video sequence at a second frame rate. The process involves a novel motion estimation and motion vector processing stage that produces a motion field with multiple motion vectors. These vectors describe the movement of objects between input video frames from the perspective of an interpolated video frame. The subsequent motion compensated interpolation stage constructs the interpolated video frame using an adaptively blended combination of motion compensated prediction and temporal average prediction of pixel values from the input video frames.
Another significant patent is related to "Video Enhancement Systems and Methods." This invention provides systems and methods for enhancing the image quality of video. It utilizes one or more filters to generate vertical, horizontal, and diagonal filtered outputs. Additionally, amplification components apply separate gains to these outputs, resulting in enhanced video signals.
