Abstract

The aim of the invention is to allow patients to be individually provided with good therapy, whereby the quality of the therapy also includes minimizing the waiting time of each patient (under “time to treatment”). Proposed is a method for designing or fashioning a therapy as a treatment plan, before treatment, and with interactive navigation on a display device (10). Multiple technologies (A, B, . . . Z) of radiation devices (100, 200, 300) are available for selection, including at least one technology (A) with a radiation device (100) for emitting protons and at least one technology (B) with a radiation device (200) for emitting photons. After designing or fashioning, for a person (P) who is to be treated with therapy that can be provided by the radiation device (100, 200, 300), the designed or fashioned plan defines a plurality of technical settings that are adjusted on the radiation device(s) of the selected technology/technologies. For at least some of the technologies (A, B, . . . Z), one Pareto frontier each (101, 201, 301) is shown as a patch in an interactive patch area on the display device (10). An operating area on the display device (10) shows a number of operating aids (21, 22, . . . ), each of which represents a criterion (c1, c2, . . . ) that is improved when a selector (21a, 22a, . . . ) of the respective operating aid is moved or operated in one direction or worsened when it is moved or operated in the opposite direction. A fuzziness interval (30, 31, 32) is defined for a target criterion (c1, c2, . . . ), which is also displayed accordingly in the interactive patch area and covers at least two Pareto frontiers (201, 301) for at least two technologies (A, B). An input from the planner interactively conveys the equivalence of two technologies to the same planner. The two technologies shown (201, 301) have the same value (c11) for the same target criterion (c1) for the respective patch.

Abstract

For transmitting a panorama video having a resolution higher than a decoder can decode, at a transmitter side, encoded data coding different (groups of) spatial segments of a video picture of a video stream are packetized into separate substreams, to obtain a group of separate substreams. At a receiver side, from the group of separate substreams a proper subset of the separate substreams is extracted and combined to a data stream containing encoded data coding respectively a proper subset of the spatial segments or groups of subsequent spatial segments of the video picture of the video stream. Thus, a decoder may decode only a subregion of the video picture of the video stream, the subregion being defined by the spatial segments or groups of spatial segments coded in the encoded data contained in the data stream. A concept allowing sending a substream or a partial data stream pertaining merely a segment of an original picture in a manner allowing easier treatment at reception side is also described.

Abstract

The coding efficiency of predictive picture codecs using transform-based residual coding is enhanced by allowing the codec to switch between a set of transforms for the sake of the transform-based residual coding. It turned out that even when using explicit signaling from encoder to decoder in order to signal the actual transform to be used out of the set of transforms from encoder to decoder, an increase in coding efficiency may result. Alternatively, the switching between the set of transforms may be performed without explicit signaling at all, or using a combination of explicit signaling and some sort of prediction of the switching.

Abstract

A previously encoded or reconstructed version of a neighborhood of a predetermined block to be predicted is exploited so as to result into a more efficient predictive coding of the prediction block. In particular, a spectral decomposition of a region composed of this neighborhood and a first version of a predicted filling of the predetermined block results into a first spectrum which is subject to noise reduction and the thus resulting second spectrum may be subject to a spectral composition, thereby resulting in a modified version of this region including a second version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block. Owing to the exploitation of the already processed, i.e. encoded/reconstructed, neighborhood of the predetermined block, the second version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block tends to improve the coding efficiency.
