  • Patent number: 12142098
    Abstract: In examples, a relative skin reflectance of a captured image of a subject is quantified. Based on the relative skin reflectance, the captured image is determined as suitable or not suitable for biometric identification. When the captured image is determined not suitable, a remedial capture setting is calculated and provided to an image capturing resource. Another captured image of the subject, captured under the remedial capture setting, is received from the image capturing resource. The relative skin reflectance of the another captured image is quantified and based thereon, there is a determining of whether the another captured image is suitable or is not suitable.

  • Patent number: 12143594
    Abstract: Compression technology comprises deriving chroma quantization parameter (Qpc) based on luma Qp using luma-to-chroma Qp mapping table. Such a table may be shared by the encoder and the decoder. However, in some cases, signaling such a table in the data stream instead of having it fixed by a standard may be advantageous. The syntax used to encode, signal and decode this table has a cost in terms of bitrate. The present principles propose to signaling of a luma-to-chroma mapping table in the data stream according to different embodiments.

  • Patent number: 12137233
    Abstract: A further coding efficiency increase may be achieved if for a current block of a picture, for which the bit stream signals one of supported partitioning patterns, a reversal of the partitioning by block merging is avoided. In particular, if the signaled one of the supported partitioning patterns specifies a subdivision of the block into two or more further blocks, a removal of certain coding parameter candidates for all further blocks, except a first further block of the further blocks in a coding order, is performed. Particularly, those coding parameter candidates are removed from the set of coding parameter candidates for the respective further block, the coding parameters of which are the same as coding parameters associated with any of the further blocks which, when being merged with the respective further block, would result in one of the supported partitioning pattern. This avoids redundancy between partitioning coding and merging coding.
