Abstract: A video decoder decodes a video from a video bitstream encoded using Versatile Video Coding (VVC). The video decoder determines a bit depth of samples of the video based on Sequence Parameter Set (SPS) syntax element sps_bitdepth_minus8 whose value is in the range of 0 to 8. The decoder further determines the size of a decoded picture buffer (DPB) based on a Video Parameter Set (VPS) syntax element vps_ols_dpb_bitdepth_minus8 whose value is in the range of 0 to 8. The decoder allocates a storage space with the determined size of the DPB, decodes the video bitstream based on the determined bit depth, and thus obtains and stores a decoded picture in the DPB. The decoder further outputs the decoded picture.

Abstract: Concepts for encoding and decoding multi-view data for immersive video are disclosed. In an encoding method, metadata is generated comprising a field indicating if a patch data unit of the multi-view data comprises in-painted data for representing missing data. The generated metadata provides a means of distinguishing patch data units comprising original texture and depth data from patch data units comprising in-painted data (e.g. in-painted texture and depth data). The provision of such information within the metadata of immersive video may address problems associated with blending and pruned view reconstruction. Also provided are an encoder and a decoder for multi-view data for immersive video, and a corresponding bitstream, comprising metadata.

The first location is associated with a first pattern defining a structure of splitting a location into smaller shapes. A bit string of bits is included for the first pattern in an encoded bitstream.

The first location allows the bit string of bits for the first pattern to be retrieved for use to decode the second location from the encoded bitstream.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a person within a defined area by detecting breathing, or the lack thereof. Breathing is detected using radar signals, camera signals and/or microphone signals. The radar signals, camera signals and/or microphone signals are analyzed to determine if the subject person is moving, and if not moving if the person is breathing or not-breathing. An alarm is generated should the reflected radar signals, the camera signals and the microphone signals all simultaneously indicate no movement and no movement of the subject person in the defined area for a selected period of time.
