Abstract: A video coding device receives a bitstream including video data. The device determines an intra-prediction mode subset. The intra-prediction mode subset include intra-prediction modes that correlate to a plurality of reference lines for a current image block and excludes intra-prediction modes that correlate to a primary reference line for the current image block. When a first intra-prediction mode is included in the intra-prediction mode subset, the device decodes the first intra-prediction mode by an alternative intra-prediction mode index. When the first intra-prediction mode is not included in the intra-prediction mode subset, the device decodes the first intra-prediction mode by an intra-prediction mode index. The device presents video data including an image block decoded based on the first intra-prediction mode.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for dual mode depth measurement are provided. The apparatus is used for measuring a depth information of a specular surface in a depth from defocus (DFD) mode or measuring a depth information of a textured surface in a depth from focus (DFF) mode. The apparatus includes a light source, a controller, a processor, a lighting optical system, an imaging optical system, a beam splitter and a camera. The controller is for switching between the depth from defocus mode and the depth from focus mode. The lighting optical system is used to focus a light from the light source on an object surface in the depth from defocus mode, and the lighting optical system is used to illuminate the object surface with a uniform irradiance in the depth from focus mode.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for decoding and processing video data. For example, a method of decoding video data includes accessing an encoded video bitstream comprising multiple layers. The encoded video bitstream includes multiple access units, with a first access unit including an end of sequence network abstraction layer unit. A second access unit includes an intra random access point picture and is a next subsequent access unit in decoding order following the first access unit. The method further includes reinitializing decoding at the second access unit based on the second access unit being the next subsequent access unit in decoding order following the end of sequence network abstraction layer unit of the first access unit.

Abstract: Provided herein is an apparatus, including a reflective surface configured to reflect photons onto a surface of an article, a stage configured to support the article, and an assembly. The assembly is configured to radiate photons through the article to the reflective surface. The assembly is further configured to image the article with irradiance of the photons.
