The paper presents a video quality metric designed for the H.264/AVC codec. The metric operates directly on the encoded H.264/AVC bit stream, parses the encoding parameters and processes them using an artificial neural network. The network is designed to estimate peak signal-to-noise ratios of the video sequence frames, thus enabling computation of full reference objective quality metric values...

Various endoscopic devices have been developed for advanced minimally invasive surgery. We recently applied a new 8K ultra-high-definition television system during laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis. The procedure, which is described in detail, stands as the first reported application of an 8K ultra-high-definition system for laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Comparison is made between dep...

Abstract: The introduction of High definition television (HDTV) asks for spatial up-conversion techniques enabling the display of standard definition material (SDTV). The paper provides an overview of some important linear and non-linear methods. We further include a performance evaluation using a Mean Square Error criterion and show relevant screen shots to allow for a subjective impression ob...

Question: What do the following items have in common? ■ iPhones ■ Avatar 3D (James Cameron’s new movie) ■ Digital SLR cameras ■ LCD digital televisions Answer: They are all evidence that consumers strongly prefer products with “stunning” visuals. This white paper shows how these trends towards new features and faster introduction rates of new models are fueling increased FPGA use within high-de...

In the past, viewers were constrained to watch television in front of a receiver in their home. Today, people watch video at any time and in any place. A viewer can now browse video on their desktop PC, or watch a movie outdoors on a mobile handheld device, or view HDTV (High Definition Television) in their own home theater system or at Digital Cinemas within a well controlled viewing environment.

This memo specifies a packetization scheme for encapsulating uncompressed video into a payload format for the Real-time Transport Protocol, RTP. It supports a range of standardand high-definition video formats, including common television formats such as ITU BT.601, and standards from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), such as SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M. The format i...
