Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Multi-pass video encoder and methods for use therewith." This invention features a multi-pass video encoder that includes a video encoding module. The module encodes a video signal based on an initial configuration data set to generate an initial processed video signal and an initial output data set. An application coding control module generates the initial configuration data set and updates it based on the initial processed video signal and output data set. The video encoding module further encodes the video signal based on the updated configuration data set to produce an updated processed video signal and output data set.
Another significant patent is "Video display device, video encoder, noise level estimation module and methods for use therewith." This invention includes a noise level estimation module that features a pixel block selection module. This module selects a plurality of pixel blocks over a set of K fields of a video signal. Each selected pixel block contains multiple pixels with corresponding pixel values. A difference calculation module calculates a block difference for each selected pixel block based on pixel differences. A signal generator then generates a noise level estimation signal based on a subset of block differences.
