Abstract: A method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a video comprising a video picture that includes multiple sub-pictures and multiple video blocks, and a coded representation of the video according to a rule. The rule specifies that a boundary between any two sub-pictures is also a boundary between two video blocks.

Abstract: Coding of the last coded coefficient position is performed by basing the coding of they coordinate of the position of the last coded coefficient on knowledge of the size of the partial transform used to generate a block of coefficients from a block of video pixels. This enables a context adaptive coding of the last coded coefficient parameter to be performed much more efficiently.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting and processing events that occur at a gaming table in a casino environment. Camera streams associated with the table game are analyzed using lightweight, watchdog processes. When a certain event is detected, extended processes can be executed in order to provide additional information regarding the event. Such as approach can require a relatively limited amount of computing resources, while still providing relevant information to casino operators. The information can be used, for example, to track gameplay and provide player ratings.

Abstract: The present embodiments introduce a new type of random access point in video bitstreams that can be used for random access operations but can be represented in encoded form at a lower bit-cost as compared to IRAP pictures. The random access point is a dependent random access point (DRAP) picture that is encoded and decoded using an IRAP picture and/or a previous, according to a decoding order, DRAP picture as sole reference picture(s) for the DRAP picture. The DRAP picture is encoded as a trailing picture that may be used for reference and constitutes a random access point in a video bitstream.

One or more regions of the glasses may be illuminated by self-contained or reflected light, to facilitate tracking under various ambient lighting conditions. The lenses of the glasses may have selective barriers such as anaglyph filters, polarizing filters, and shutters, to select images from the display.

Abstract: A video decoder receives data from a bitstream for a block of pixels to be decoded as a current block of a current picture of a video. The current block includes a transform block. The video decoder determines a regular bin budget for the transform block. The video decoder entropy decodes the transform block as either regular bins using context modeling or as bypass bins without context modeling. A number of the regular bins used for entropy coding the transform block is limited by the determined regular bin budget regardless of whether the regular bins represent samples of (i) residual signals used to reconstruct pixel data of the current block or (ii) transform coefficients generated by transform operations of the residual signals. The video decoder reconstructs the current block based on the entropy decoded transform block.
