International Classification:

H04N 7/26

US Classification:

37524029

Abstract:

Various implementations provide filtering for pictures. Several such implementations attempt to reduce artifacts caused by over-filtering in a decoding loop. Certain of these implementations provide multiple loop filters, and select a loop filter based on the result of a deblocking filter. One particular implementation applies a first filter to a picture to produce a filtered picture. A second filter is selected based on a difference between a value of a particular pixel in the filtered picture and a value of a corresponding pixel in the picture. The second filter is applied to the particular pixel in the filtered picture. In another implementation, a signal or signal structure includes an indication of the second filter, an encoding of at least a portion of a picture, and an encoding of at least a portion of a subsequent picture that has been encoded based on the output of the second filter above.

International Classification:

H04N 7/26

US Classification:

37524001

Abstract:

An encoder receives one or more input pictures of enhanced dynamic range (EDR) to be encoded in a coded bit stream comprising a base layer and one or more enhancement layer. The encoder comprises a base layer quantizer (BLQ) and an enhancement layer quantizer (ELQ) and selects parameters of the BLQ and the ELQ by a joint BLQ-ELQ adaptation method which given a plurality of candidate sets of parameters for the BLQ, for each candidate set, computes a joint BLQ-ELQ distortion value based on a BLQ distortion function, an ELQ distortion function, and at least in part on the number of input pixels to be quantized by the ELQ. The encoder selects as the output BLQ parameter set the candidate set for which the computed joint BLQ-ELQ distortion value is the smallest. Example ELQ, BLQ, and joint BLQ-ELQ distortion functions are provided.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed relating to intra prediction of a video signal based on mode-dependent subsampling. A block of coefficients associated with a first sub block of a video block, one or more blocks of coefficients associated with one or more remaining sub blocks of the video block, and an indication of a prediction mode for the video block may be received. One or more interpolating techniques, a predicted first sub block, and the predicted sub blocks of the one or more remaining sub blocks may be determined. A reconstructed first sub block and one or more reconstructed remaining sub blocks may be generated. A reconstructed video block may be formed based on the prediction mode, the reconstructed first sub block, and the one or more reconstructed remaining sub blocks.

Abstract:

In some embodiments, high-energy additive manufacturing (HE-AM) (e.g., directed energy deposition, powder injection, powder bed fusion, electron beam melting, solid-state, and ultrasonic) is used to overcome constraints of comparative EES fabrication techniques to produce chemical additive-free electrodes with complex, highly versatile designs for next generation EES. An exemplary rapid fabrication technique provides an approach for improving electrochemical performance while increasing efficiency and sustainability, reducing time to market, and lowering production costs. With this exemplary technique, which utilizes computer models for location specific layer-by-layer fabrication of three-dimensional parts (e.g., versatile design), a high degree of control over processing conditions may be achieved to enhance both the design and performance of EES systems.

Abstract:

A method of interpreting a digit-to-digit gesture based on roll values for a wrist-wearable device is disclosed. The method includes, receiving an indication at a first point in time that a user donning the wrist-wearable device is providing a digit-to-digit gesture in which one of the user's digits touches another of the user's digits without contacting the display of the wearable device. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the digit-to-digit gesture is provided while data indicates that the wrist-wearable device has a first roll value, causing a target device in communication with the wearable device to perform a first input command and receiving another indication at a second point in time that is after the first point in time that the user is providing the digit-to-digit gesture again, causing the target device to perform a second input command that is distinct from the first input command.
