Abstract: A method of decoding JVET video includes receiving a bitstream indicating how a coding tree unit was partitioned into coding units, and parsing said bitstream to generate at least one predictor based on an intra prediction mode signaled in the bitstream. The predictor may be generated by interpolating neighboring pixels for each pixel within a coding block. The computation may be more accurate by deriving a value for a bottom right neighboring pixel.

Abstract: A system and method for coding video in which deblocking artifacts are reduced by using modified filtering that is based, at least in part on pixel intensity associated with a coding unit, such that filtering levels are increased as pixel intensity increases. In some embodiments, an offset value or indicator of an offset value for parameters associated with deblocking filter parameters can be associated with a filtering level that is based at least in part on an intensity value.

Abstract: During operation, an electronic device may receive, associated with a computer, a packet or a frame that includes a dynamic power reset pattern, where the dynamic power reset pattern specifies temporal pattern of power resets.

Next, the electronic device may compare the dynamic power reset pattern and the detected power reset pattern. Furthermore, based at least in part on a result of the comparison, the electronic device may at least selectively provide, to the computer, the result of the comparison.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a system by which content/service providers can enable gaze-responsive advertisement/targeted content mechanisms for CPE devices like STB's/OTT streaming devices or systems or display devices. The system creates a new opportunity for content/service providers to advertise and helps in generating revenue. The system leverages using gaze-based technology in CPE devices like STB's or large display devices. A gaze-based algorithm helps the CPE devices to locate the viewer point of attention, using which gaze-responsive advertisement/content targeting can be achieved. The disclosure provides an end to end solution—from content creation to content consumption for gaze-responsive advertisement/media delivery.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively adjusting a slew rate of a dejitter buffer in a remote device in a distributed access architecture. The slew rate may be adjusted based on measurements of a fullness state of a buffer made over time.
