Abstract
Techniques are provided herein for receiving at a video processing device color video frames comprising grayscale components and color components. The grayscale components corresponding to each of the color video frames are extracted as each of the color video frames is received to obtain grayscale video frames. The grayscale video frames are transmitted at a first transmission rate. Color components for selected color video frames are periodically fused with selected grayscale video frames to obtain fused color video frames, and the fused color video frames are transmitted at a second transmission rate interspersed with the grayscale video frames transmitted at the first transmission rate.
Claims18
A method for transmitting video, the method comprising:
- receiving at a video processing device color video frames comprising grayscale components and color components;
- extracting the grayscale components corresponding to each of the color video frames as each of the color video frames is received to obtain grayscale video frames;
- transmitting the grayscale video frames at a first transmission rate;
- periodically fusing color components for selected color video frames with selected grayscale video frames to obtain fused color video frames;
- and
- transmitting the fused color video frames at a second transmission rate interspersed with the grayscale video frames transmitted at the first transmission rate.
An apparatus comprising:
- an interface module configured to receive color video frames comprising grayscale components and color components;
- a camera, wherein the interface module is configured to receive the color video frames from the camera;
- a wireless transmitter;
- a processor configured to:
- extract the grayscale components corresponding to each of the color video frames as each of the color video frames is received to obtain grayscale video frames;
- cause the transmitter to transmit the grayscale video frames at a first transmission rate;
- periodically fuse color components for selected color video frames with selected grayscale video frames to obtain fused color video frames;
- and
- cause the transmitter to transmit the fused color video frames at a second transmission rate interspersed with the grayscale video frames transmitted at the first transmission rate;
- a wireless receiver configured to receive the grayscale video frames and the fused color video frames;
- and
- a display coupled to the wireless receiver configured to display the grayscale video frames and the fused color video frames.
A non-transitory processor readable tangible medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive color video frames comprising grayscale components and color components via an interface module;
- extract the grayscale components corresponding to each of the color video frames as each of the color video frames is received to obtain grayscale video frames;
- transmit the grayscale video frames at a first transmission rate;
- periodically fuse color components for selected color video frames with selected grayscale video frames to obtain fused color video frames;
- and
- transmit the fused color video frames at a second transmission rate interspersed with the grayscale video frames transmitted at the first transmission rate.
