Method for obtaining images during multiple receptions

Patent type: Priority Patent Application

Patent number: WO002010020336A1

Registration date: July 29, 2009


Abstract

The invention relates to a method for obtaining images from coded image sequences, wherein at least two coded image sequences comprising mutually-corresponding images are received and improved images are obtained by combining images from the first and at least one further image sequence. This is particularly possible when the image sequences are coded differently, corresponding images are not completely identical, or images show only sections of the content of corresponding images of another image sequence. According to the invention, this is solved by images of different image sequences being decoded independently of each other and information about reception errors that can be particularly easily detected during decoding is used to correct faulty regions of an image using regions of a corresponding image from another image sequence received without an error. The method also comprises steps for synchronizing different image sequences and steps for equalizing different image resolutions.
