Publication number: 20250080730Abstract: This disclosure generally describes a set of advanced video coding technologies, and is specifically related to cross-component sample offset (CCSO) filtering. For example, a CCSO filter having fractional CCSO filtering tap positions may be used to generate sample offsets from one color component of a reconstructed video. The sample offsets may then be applied to a second color component of the reconstructed video. The reconstructed samples of the first color component may first be interpolated by an interpolation filter in order to generate interpolated samples of the first color component at the fractional CCSO tap positions. The interpolated samples may be used as input to the CCSO filter for the generation of the sample offsets.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Applicant: TENCENT AMERICA LLCInventors: Xin ZHAO, Han GAO, Liang ZHAO, Jing YE, Shan LIU

Publication number: 20250078440Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) utilize perception and understanding of objects on the road to predict behaviors of the objects, and to plan a trajectory for the vehicle. In some situations, an object may be occluded and undetected by an AV. However, a different AV viewing the same scene may detect the object. With information from multiple views of the same scene, it is possible to determine occlusion attributes for the object, such as relational occlusion information and extent of occlusion. For the AV that is driving on the road, having knowledge of the occluded object and the occlusion attributes can improve the performance of perception, understanding, tracking, prediction, and/or planning algorithms. For the algorithms, occlusion attributes can be generated from the multi-view data and included as part of labeled data for machine learning training. The models in the algorithms can learn to better handle occluded objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Applicant: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Marc Unzueta, Michael Meyer, Sven Möller, Filippo Grazioli
