Abstract: A processor identifies keypoints on a hand in a two-dimensional image that is captured by a camera. A three-dimensional pose of the hand is determined using locations of the keypoints to access lookup tables (LUTs) that represent potential poses of the hand as a function of the locations of the keypoints. In some embodiments, the keypoints include locations of tips of fingers and a thumb, joints that connect phalanxes of the fingers and the thumb, palm knuckles that represent a point of attachment of the fingers and the thumb to a palm, and a wrist location that indicates a point of attachment of the hand to a forearm. Some embodiments of the LUTs represent 2D coordinates of the fingers and the thumb in corresponding finger pose planes as a function of the locations of the tips of the fingers or thumb relative to the corresponding palm knuckles.

Abstract: Methods of encoding and decoding for video data are described in which multi-level significance maps are used in the encoding and decoding processes. The significant-coefficient flags that form the significance map are grouped into contiguous groups, and a significant-coefficient-group flag signifies for each group whether that group contains no non-zero significant-coefficient flags. If there are no non-zero significant-coefficient flags in the group, then the significant-coefficient-group flag is set to zero. The set of significant-coefficient-group flags is encoded in the bitstream. Any significant-coefficient flags that fall within a group that has a significant-coefficient-group flag that is non-zero are encoded in the bitstream, whereas significant-coefficient flags that fall within a group that has a significant-coefficient-group flag that is zero are not encoded in the bitstream.

Abstract: A method of video processing is described. The method includes performing a conversion between a chroma block of a video region of a video picture of a video and a coded representation of the video according to a rule.

M and N are integers that indicate a width and a height of the chroma block, respectively. The intra coding mode includes coding the chroma block based on a previously coded video region of the video picture.
