Abstract: A method for lens-free imaging of a sample or objects within the sample uses multi-height iterative phase retrieval and rotational field transformations to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples with clinically comparable image quality to a benchtop lens-based microscope. The solution of the transport-of-intensity (TIE) equation is used as an initial guess in the phase recovery process to speed the image recovery process. The holographically reconstructed image can be digitally focused at any depth within the object FOV (after image capture) without the need for any focus adjustment, and is also digitally corrected for artifacts arising from uncontrolled tilting and height variations between the sample and sensor planes. In an alternative embodiment, a synthetic aperture approach is used with multi-angle iterative phase retrieval to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples and increase the effective numerical aperture of the image.

Abstract: Fault recovery of a video bitstream can be performed in a remote session. A decoder of a remote display protocol client can be configured to process a video bitstream that is transferred over a virtual channel of a remote session. As part of processing the video bitstream prior to passing it to a hardware decoder, the decoder can detect the occurrence of an error in the bitstream and then cause the remote display protocol client to employ the remote display protocol which encapsulates the virtual channel to request an I-frame from the remote display protocol service. This will force the encoder to send an I-frame even if the desktop has low entropy thereby minimizing how long a glitch may persist. Because the remote display protocol itself is employed to request the I-frame, there is no requirement to modify the video stream protocol.

Abstract: A device includes one or more processors configured to derive M most probable modes (MPMs) for intra prediction of a block of video data. As part of deriving the M most probable modes, the one or more processors define a representative intra prediction mode for a left neighboring column and use the representative intra prediction mode for the left neighboring column as an MPM for the left neighboring column, and/or define a representative intra prediction mode for an above neighboring row and use the representative intra prediction mode for the above neighboring row as an MPM for the above neighboring row. A syntax element that indicates whether an MPM index or a non-MPM index is used to indicate a selected intra prediction mode for intra prediction of the block is decoded. The one or more processors reconstruct the block based on the selected intra prediction mode.

Abstract: A stereo camera pair may be used to determine deformation and/or strain on a member based on differences in calculated movement of the cameras that capture images. In some embodiments, a first camera may be mounted to a first end of a member and a second camera may be mounted to a second end of the member opposite the first end. As the member bends, twists, or deforms in other ways, the deformation may be detectable based on differences in images captured by the first and second camera. This data may be used to detect possible wear or damage to the member, as a control input to a vehicle to reduce possible wear or damage to the member, as a prompt to initiate maintenance or inspection of the member, and/or for other reasons.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are directed to applying deblocking filter to block boundaries in a video coding system including an IntraBC (Intra-block copy) mode. For at least one combination of the two neighboring reconstructed blocks including at least one IntraBC coded block in the two neighboring reconstructed blocks, a boundary filter strength equal to one or zero is selected based on coding parameters associated with the two neighboring reconstructed blocks. Deblocking filter is then applied to neighboring samples of the two neighboring reconstructed blocks around the block boundary using the boundary filter strength selected. For example, when the two neighboring reconstructed blocks correspond to one IntraBC coded block and one Inter coded block, the boundary filter strength is set to one.
