Abstract: A super class of polarized transverse vector vortex photon beams patterns are mathematically represented here, which are Majorana-like among them are the radial and azimuthal Laguerre-Gaussian, hybrid ?-vector beams, and Airy beams. These optical beams are consider spin-orbit coupled beams based on OAM and SAM parts of light. A Majorana photon is a photon that is identical to its anti-photon. It has within itself both chirality, right and left-handed twist in polarization (SAM) and wavefront (OAM). Applications using Majorana photons improve optical deeper imaging, higher resolution imaging, Nonlinear Optics effects (SHG, SRS, SC), optical communication in free space and fibers, quantum computer as basic qubit, and entanglement for security.

Abstract: In a method for video decoding in a decoder, a first motion vector and a second motion vector for a first block in a current picture are received. The first motion vector is indicative of a first reference block in a first picture, and the second motion vector is indicative of a second reference block in a second picture. A bilateral template is generated based on a weighted combination of the first reference block and the second reference block. A refined first motion vector and a refined second motion vector are determined based on the bilateral template, reference blocks in the first picture and reference blocks in the second picture respectively. An initial motion vector of a second block that is ceded after the first block is determined according to at least one of the first motion vector and the second motion vector for the first block.
