Context based access of files by file system to a client based on detection of related files opened by the client

Abstract

A network has a file system configured for providing a selected version of a first file to a client, having requested the file, based on detecting that the client has opened a second file having an identified relationship with the first file. Files are identified as having a relationship based on membership in a file group, wherein each file group identifies only one version of each file specified in the corresponding file group; hence, multiple file groups can identify files associated with respective versions of a file set. In response to determining the first file belongs to a file group, the file system identifies the version of the second file opened by the client, and selects the version of the first file to be provided to the client based on determining the file group associated with the version of the second file opened by the client.

Video compression using multiple variable length coding processes for multiple classes of transform coefficient blocks

Abstract

A method and apparatus to variable length code an ordered series of quantized transform coefficients of an image block. The method classifies the series into one of a plurality of classes. Each class has a corresponding coding process that is applicable to the statistical distribution of the coefficients in the series. The series is coded according to the particular corresponding coding process of the class of the classifying.

Two-dimensional variable length coding of runs of zero and non-zero transform coefficients for image compression 

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and carrier medium to encode a series of quantized transform coefficients. The method includes identifying events that each includes a run of zero-valued coefficients preceding a run of one or more non-zero-valued coefficients, and for each such event, jointly encoding the run lengths of the preceding run of zero-valued coefficients and the following run of non-zero-valued coefficients with a codeword, such that for at least some events, relatively more likely-to-occur pairs of runlengths are encoded by a shorter codeword than relatively less likely-to-occur runlengths. The method further includes encoding each amplitude in the run of consecutive non-zero-valued coefficients, and encoding the signs of such coefficients. The method is applicable to encoding a region in the series where there is likely to be a cluster of non-zero-valued coefficients.

Hybrid variable length coding method for low bit rate video coding

Abstract

A method and an apparatus of image compression, and a memory to store a data structure for compression. The method includes, for an ordered series of quantized coefficients of a transform of an image block, forming from the series events each with a run of non-zero-valued coefficients in a first contiguous region defined by a breakpoint, a run of zero-valued coefficients in the first region, or a run of zero-valued coefficients in a second region defined by the breakpoint. The breakpoint defines the first region and a second continuous region in the series. Codewords are formed for each runlength of non-zero-valued and zero-valued coefficients in the first region according to a first and a second coding method, respectively, and a codeword is formed for the non-zero amplitudes according to a first amplitude coding method. The runlengths of zero-valued coefficients in the second region are encoding using a third coding method.

Extended hybrid variable length coding of transform coefficients for video compression 

Abstract

A method and an apparatus of image compression, and a memory to store a data structure for compression. The method includes, for an ordered series of quantized coefficients of a transform of an image block, forming from the series events that are a run of non-zero-valued coefficients in a first contiguous region defined by a breakpoint, a run of zero-valued coefficients in the first region, or a run of zero-valued coefficients that ends in a non-zero-amplitude coefficient in a second region defined by the breakpoint. A codeword is formed for each runlength of non-zero-valued and zero-valued coefficients in the first region using a first and a second coding method, respectively, and, and encoding the runs of zero-valued coefficient that end in a non-zero value in the second region according to a third coding method, including providing an exception codeword when the ending amplitude is not 1.
