  • Patent number: 11991396
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus for video processing are described. The processing may include encoding, decoding or transcoding. One example video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video including one or more pictures and a bitstream of the video according to a format rule. The format rule specifies to include, in a general constrain syntax structure, a syntax element indicating whether each picture includes only one slice, and whether a picture header syntax structure is present in a slice header.

  • Publication number: 20240161395
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating 3D models of surfaces that accurately reconstruct both the global structure of an object and its local features are described. The methods and systems generally operated by fusing point features from the point cloud data with voxel features extracted from voxelization procedures. Furthermore, the methods and systems utilize voxelization at multiple spatial resolutions. The use of point-voxel fusion and multiple spatial resolutions may permit the extraction of both global and local geometric features, increasing the accuracy of 3D modeling of objects.

  • Publication number: 20240107006
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems for video processing, including video encoding or video decoding are described. One example method includes performing a conversion between a video comprising a video picture that includes a video slice and a bitstream of the video. The bitstream conforms to a format rule specifying that, in case a slice type of the video slice is type P and temporal motion vector prediction is enabled, usage of reference picture resampling (RPR) for a reference picture in a collocated reference picture list is disabled. The reference picture is indicated by a reference index of a collocated picture of the video slice used for the temporal motion vector prediction.

  • Patent number: 11917130
    Abstract: A video coding mechanism for viewpoint dependent video coding is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a spherical video signal stitched from multiple directional video streams. The spherical video signal is mapped into a plurality of sub-picture video signals each containing a sequence of sub-pictures. The plurality of sub-picture video signals, are encoded as a plurality of sub-picture bitstreams, such that, when decoded at a decoder, a value of each sample in each sub-picture is identical to a value of a corresponding sample in a decoded entire picture composed from the sub-pictures. The plurality of sub-picture bitstreams are composed into a plurality of sub-picture tracks with an indication that the sub-picture tracks are conforming to a particular video profile. The sub-picture bitstreams are transmitted toward a decoder to support decoding and displaying virtual reality video viewport.

  • Publication number: 20230251760
    Abstract: Using a set of menu to key process mappings, historical menu usage data for an application is aggregated into aggregated key process usage data. A set of key process association rules, each comprising a consequent key process given a particular antecedent key process, is generated. From the set of key process association rules and a set of ranked menus by frequency of usage within each key process, a set of model menu recommendations is generated. According to an application usage history, a menu frequency ratio, and a confidence value of a modelled next menu, the set of menu recommendations is scored. A scored menu recommendation having a rank below a threshold rank is pruned from a set of menu items of the application ranked according to their scores. The pruned set of scored menu recommendations is presented for selection instead of the set of menu items.

  • Publication number: 20230237076
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for automatically drawing infographics. Variables of a dataset are received from a computing device that were selected by the user of the computing device. For those selected variables that are associated with a data model, a procedure to draw infographics for variables assigned or not assigned the role of a target using the data model associated with each of the variables assigned or not assigned the role of target, respectively, is implemented. Alternatively, if the selected variables are not associated with a data model, then such variables are assigned a level of measurement as well as assigned the role of input. Such assignments become the data model which, along with the metadata (e.g., values of the variable) obtained by parsing the original data, are used to implement the procedure to draw infographics for variables not assigned the role of a target.
