Method and system for enhancing image quality of compressed video stream
A method for enhancing image quality of compressed video stream, mirrored thorough wireless network using a compression scheme, between a source device and a sink device. The method includes identifying idle time in the compression scheme of video, where the image change is below a predefined threshold for pre-defined period of time, calculating color code corrections between an original source last image and a decoded last image, sending corrections from the source device to the sink device in real-time during identified idle time and performing an image correction at the sink device based on the received correction.
1. A computer-implemented method for enhancing image quality of a compressed video stream, mirrored by a wireless network using a compression scheme, between a source device and a sink device, said method comprising the steps of:
identifying at the source device an idle time for a first time after streaming an original image in the compression scheme of the video stream;
determining at the source device a first color code of the original image;
decoding at the source device a last mirrored image to determine a second image color code of the last mirrored image,
calculating at the source device a corrected color code from a difference between the first color code and the second color code;
sending the corrected color code from the source device to the sink device in real-time during the identified idle time; and
performing an image correction at the sink device based on the corrected color code.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the idle time is identified by a change between the original image and the last mirrored image that is less than a predefined threshold for a pre-defined period of time.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the idle time is further identified when the change between the images has a repeating pattern for short time periods.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the image correction comprises interlacing corrected images derived from the corrected color code with a decoded image.
5. A system for enhancing image quality of a compressed video stream, mirrored by a wireless network using a compression scheme, said system comprised of:
a source device comprising a source device processor and a source device memory having instructions that when executed by the source device processor cause the source device to perform steps of:
identifying a first instance of an idle time after streaming an original image in the compression scheme of the video stream, determining at the source device a first color code of the original image;
decoding at the source device a last mirrored image to determine a second image color code of the last mirrored image,
calculating a corrected color code from a difference between the first color code and the second color code, and
sending the corrected color code to a sink device in real-time during the identified idle time; and
wherein the sink device comprises a sink device processor and a sink device memory comprising stored therein instructions that when executed by the sink device processor cause the sink device to receive the corrected color code and to perform an image correction based on the corrected color code.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the idle time is identified by a change between the original image and the last mirrored image being less than a predefined threshold for a pre-defined period of time.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the idle time is further identified when the change between the images has a repeating pattern for short time periods.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sink device is further configured to perform the image correction by interlacing corrected images derived from the corrected color code and with a decode image.
