Abstract: Fusing online and mapped terrain estimates by using weighted grid cells that scales the values returned from online terrain and mapped terrain is disclosed. Previously mapped terrain data and online terrain data are fused and a grid having cells of a predetermined size is overlaid on the terrain map. Each cell may include terrain data based on weighted mapped terrain data and weighted online terrain data, where the weighting values for the mapped terrain data and for the online terrain data may be different. A fused terrain estimate may be a result of a weighted mean for each cell smoothed to reduce noise.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a video processing method, apparatus and storage medium using the resolution of a reference picture. Filtering is performed based on resolutions of reference pictures of blocks forming a boundary. The resolutions of the reference pictures may define filtering. Depending on whether the resolutions of the reference pictures are different from each other, one or more filter selection parameters for filtering may be determined or updated. Further, based on whether the resolutions of the reference pictures are different from each other, the boundary strength of the filter may be determined. Because filtering is defined using the resolutions of reference pictures, performance of encoding and/or decoding may be improved.
