  • Patent number: 11863773
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding multiple semantically independent picture parts into a single video picture includes decoding unique picture order count values for each coded picture, coded slice, or coded tile in a coded video sequence, with multiple decoded pictures, cycles, and tiles belonging to a same access unit representing a frame of the video. A value representing the amount of pictures, cycles, or tiles, is then assigned to each access unit for assigning sequential access unit count values to the access units. As a result, each access unit, which represents multiple pictures, slices, or tiles to be combined into a single frame, is decoded for display processing.

  • Patent number: 11860634
    Abstract: An obstacle state evolution of a spatial position of a moving obstacle over a period of time is determined. A lane-obstacle relation evolution of the moving obstacle with each of one or more lanes near the moving obstacle over the period of time is further determined. An intended movement of the moving obstacle is predicted based on the obstacle state evolution and the lane-obstacle evolution. Thereafter, a trajectory of the ADV is planned to control the ADV to avoid a collision with the moving obstacle based on the predicted intended movement of the moving obstacle. The above process is iteratively performed for each of the moving obstacles detected within a predetermined proximity of the ADV.

  • Patent number: 11857462
    Abstract: An imaging system includes an eye interface device, a scanning assembly, a beam source, a free-floating mechanism, and a detection assembly. The eye interface device interfaces with an eye. The scanning assembly supports the eye interface device and scans a focal point of an electromagnetic radiation beam within the eye. The beam source generates the electromagnetic radiation beam. The free-floating mechanism supports the scanning assembly and accommodates movement of the eye and provides a variable optical path for the electronic radiation beam and a portion of the electronic radiation beam reflected from the focal point location. The variable optical path is disposed between the beam source and the scanner and has an optical path length that varies to accommodate movement of the eye. The detection assembly generates a signal indicative of intensity of a portion of the electromagnetic radiation beam reflected from the focal point location.
