Apparatus and Method for Uncompressed, Wireless Transmission of Video

An apparatus and method for wireless transmission of uncompressed HDTV video overcomes the challenges of sending vast amounts of information over a wireless link. This is achieved by direct mapping of transformation coefficients of the video components to communication symbols, such as OFDM symbols. A main portion of the important transform coefficients, for example the MSBs of the coefficients representing lower frequencies of each of the video components, and in particular the quantized values of the lower frequencies components, are sent in a coarse representation using, for example, QPSK or QAM. The coefficients representing higher frequencies of the video components, and the quantization error values of the lower frequencies components, or some, non-linear transformation thereof, are sent as pairs of real and imaginary portions of a complex number that comprises a point in a fine constellation. The invention further provides a delay-less and buffer-less implementation of transmitter and receiver pairs.

Neural network training system

In order for the feature extractors to operate with sufficient accuracy, a high degree of training is required. In this situation, a neural network implementing the feature extractor may be trained by providing it with images having known correspondence. A 3D model of a city may be utilized in order to train a neural network for location detection. 3D models are sophisticated and allow manipulation of viewer perspective and ambient features such as day / night sky variations, weather variations, and occlusion placement. Various manipulations may be executed in order to generate vast numbers of image pairs having known correspondence despite having variations. These image pairs with known correspondence may be utilized to train the neural network to be able to generate feature maps from query images and identify correspondence between query image feature maps and reference feature maps. This training can be accomplished without requiring the capture of real images with known correspondence. Capture of real images with known correspondence is cumbersome, time and resource-intensive, and difficult to manage.
