Method and device for efficient frame erasure concealment in linear predictive based speech codecs

The present invention relates to a method and device for improving concealment of frame erasure caused by frames of an encoded sound signal erased during transmission from an encoder (106) to a decoder (110), and for accelerating recovery of the decoder after non erased frames of the encoded sound signal have been received. For that purpose, concealment / recovery parameters are determined in the encoder or decoder. When determined in the encoder (106), the concealment / recovery parameters are transmitted to the decoder (110). In the decoder, erasure frame concealment and decoder recovery is conducted in response to the concealment / recovery parameters. The concealment / recovery parameters may be selected from the group consisting of: a signal classification parameter, an energy information parameter and a phase information parameter. The determination of the concealment / recovery parameters comprises classifying the successive frames of the encoded sound signal as unvoiced, unvoiced transition, voiced transition, voiced, or onset, and this classification is determined on the basis of at least a part of the following parameters: a normalized correlation parameter, a spectral tilt parameter, a signal-to-noise ratio parameter, a pitch stability parameter, a relative frame energy parameter, and a zero crossing parameter.

Systems and methods for stitching image blocks to create seamless magnified images of a microscope slide

Scanned image portions of a virtual slide are stored in accord with a positional index metric associated to each image's location in a mosaic representation of the entire physical slide and a normalized correlation search is performed on next neighbor regional image blocks. A set of relative positional offset values and a correlation coefficient is determined for a regional image block and a next neighbor regional image block. A portion of the regional image blocks is viewed as a field of view of a display and a composite of the portion of regional image blocks is stitched together in accord with the set of relative positional offset values and the correlation coefficient, such that only the blocks comprising the portion are stitched. Moving the field of view of the display causes additional regional image blocks to be displayed, where image stitching is subsequently performed only with respect to the additional regional image blocks brought into the new field of view.

Watermarking with cone-forest detection regions

In a watermarking system, an embedder embeds one of several alternative watermark patterns that represent the source message using side information to improve robustness. A detector uses normalized correlation to test all of the patterns, indicating that the source message is present if any one of the patterns is detected. The detection process results in a detection region that is the union of several disjoint cones, or a cone-forest, in media space.

Decimated Bisectional Pitch Refinement

A method and system for refining an estimated pitch period estimate based on a coarse pitch useful for performing frame loss concealment in an audio decoder as well as for other applications. A normalized correlation at the coarse pitch lag is computed and used as the current best candidate. The normalized correlation is then evaluated at the midpoint of the refinement pitch range on either side of the current best candidate. If the normalized correlation at either midpoint is greater than the current best lag, the midpoint with the maximum correlation is selected as the current best lag. After each iteration, the refinement range is decreased by a factor of two and centered on the current best lag. This bisectional search continues until the pitch has been refined to an acceptable tolerance or until the refinement range has been exhausted. During each step of the bisectional pitch refinement, the signal is decimated to reduce the complexity of computing the normalized correlation.

Fully automatic calibration method for high performance camera under complicated background

With an object of solving problems existing in the prior art, the invention provides a fully automatic calibration method for a high performance camera under a complicated background. The method is combined with a Robust's checkerboard corner detection method, and two groups of checkerboards corners are adopted to serve as filters on the basis of the characteristics of the corners to filter marker images. Eight filters of two types are reduced to four filters of two types, which means that the wave processing amount halves and therefore, the calibration speed increases. Further, the method utilizes a Zhang's camera calibration method to mark the camera calibration parameters. The method utilizes the marked camera calibration parameters to standardize images to be corrected, and a normalized correlation of the standardized images is calculated, and then sub-pixel precision checkerboard corners are obtained. The method then re-projects the coordinate of the checkerboard corners onto image space to obtain a precise coordinate of the corner image. The newly obtained coordinate of the corners is then substituted into the Zhang's calibration method to obtain new computed camera parameters. By repeating the above steps, a performer can obtain highly precise camera parameters. According to the embodiments of the invention, it is possible for a performer to complete automatic corner detection and camera calibration without having to resort to human-machine interactive operations.
