Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer readable medium, and system that includes receiving an indication identifying a tunnel between a first virtual machine, associated with a first protocol, and a second virtual machine, associated with a second protocol, determining that the first protocol is different than the second protocol, determining at least one translation directive that specifies for translation between the first protocol and the second protocol for the tunnel, and causing establishment of a translator based, at least in part, on the translation directive is disclosed.
Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes generating a depth map that corresponds to a video image and filtering the depth map with the video image to create a filtered depth map. The video image can be filtered with the filtered depth map to create an image. In one example implementation, the video image is filtered using extended depth-guided filtering that is incorporated into a video encoding-decoding loop.
