  • Publication number: 20230063575
    Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus for mesh coding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives a bitstream carrying encoded information of a mesh that is partitioned into patches. The bitstream includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion includes patch information, the second portion includes patch boundary information that indicates at least a first edge of a first patch and a second edge of a second patch are a pair of edge mates. The processing circuitry decodes the first portion to obtain the patch information, and decodes the second portion to obtain the patch boundary information. The processing circuitry generates a reconstructed mesh based on the patch information and the patch boundary information, the first edge and the second edge are mapped into a same edge in the reconstructed mesh to connect the first patch with the second patch.

  • Publication number: 20230064450
    Abstract: First objects are detected in an infrared image from an infrared camera and second objects are detected in a color image from a color camera. The first objects are compared with the second objects to determine pairs of matching first objects and second objects. For each matching pair, a respective region of an output image is colorized by setting colors of pixels in the region based on colors of the pixels of the second object in the matching pair. The pixels in the region have locations corresponding to the locations of the pixels in the first object of the matching pair. When the colorizing is complete, pixels not in the colorized regions have intensities of the infrared image. The output image is a version of the infrared image with a region colorized according to the color image.
