System and method for recording a presentation for on-demand viewing over a computer network

A system and method for recording and playback of a live presentation that enables a reproduction of audio and visual aspects of the live presentation and enables on-demand viewing of the presentation at a later time. A live presentation comprising a plurality of presentation slides, audio content, and optionally, visual content are recorded as a data stream, so that when the recording of the data stream is played, the presentation slides are displayed in substantial synchrony with reproduced audio and visual content on a viewer's computer, thereby reproducing the live presentation. The plurality of presentation slides are saved as HTML files to a predetermined location that is accessible by the viewer's computer over a computer network, such as the Internet. During the presentation, the live audio and visual content is captured and encoded into the data stream, which is in an active streaming format (ASF), and the data stream is saved to a file. Also, slide display commands produced in conjunction with the display of the presentation slides during the presentation are interleaved into the data stream. In response to a viewer's request to view the presentation at a later time, the data stream file is downloaded to the viewer's computer and played back using a media player, which decodes the data stream file to replicate the live audio and visual content of the presentation. As the slide display commands are encountered during playback of the data stream file, corresponding HTML slide files are downloaded over the computer network to the viewer's computer and displayed so that they are substantially synchronized with the reproduced audio and visual content of the presentation.

Methods of reducing perceived image crosstalk in a multiview display

InactiveUS20090167639A1Reducing perceived image crosstalkReduce perceived displayed image crosstalkStatic indicating devicesSteroscopic systemsComputer graphics (images)Color intensity
Methods of reducing perceived image crosstalk in a multiview display. One method includes providing an image stream to a display having a horizontal dimension that extends from a first side of the display to an opposing second side of the display. The image stream includes a temporal sequence of images where at least a first image view and then a second image view are displayed on the display in a time sequential manner. The temporal sequence of images are conditioned before being displayed in order to reduce perceived displayed image crosstalk between the first and second image views. The conditioning includes modifying a color intensity of at least selected pixels along the horizontal dimension based on a non-constant crosstalk correction function for the horizontal dimension.

Video enhancement and transmission method based on deep learning

The invention discloses a video enhancement and transmission method based on deep learning. Downsampling is carried out on a high-definition video at a video source end, thereby obtaining a low-definition video; the low-definition video is compressed in an existing video coding mode; and the compressed low-definition video is transmitted. The size of the video data is greatly reduced through downsampling and video coding, so the video traffic needing to be transmitted is correspondingly reduced, and an effect of reducing the bandwidth cost is achieved. At a user receiving end, a user receives the low-definition video, reconstructs the low-definition video by employing a super-resolution image reconstruction method of the deep learning and restores the low-definition video into a high-resolution video for the user to watch, so the video transmission bandwidth cost is effectively reduced. According to the method, the video transmission bandwidth cost is reduced by at least 50%; the resolution of the live broadcast video is improved; and the watching experience of a user is improved.
