  • Publication number: 20250227293
    Abstract: Innovations in the use of base color index map (“BCIM”) mode during encoding and/or decoding simplify implementation by reducing the number of modifications made to support BCIM mode and/or improve coding efficiency of BCIM mode. For example, some of the innovations involve reuse of a syntax structure that is adapted for transform coefficients to instead signal data for elements of an index map in BCIM mode. Other innovations relate to mapping of index values in BCIM mode or prediction of elements of an index map in BCIM mode. Still other innovations relate to handling of exception values in BCIM mode.

  • Publication number: 20250227251
    Abstract: Innovations in unified intra block copy (“BC”) and inter prediction modes are presented. In some example implementations, bitstream syntax, semantics of syntax elements and many coding/decoding processes for inter prediction mode are reused or slightly modified to enable intra BC prediction for blocks of a frame. For example, to provide intra BC prediction for a current block of a current picture, a motion compensation process applies a motion vector that indicates a displacement within the current picture, with the current picture being used as a reference picture for the motion compensation process. With this unification of syntax, semantics and coding/decoding processes, various coding/decoding tools designed for inter prediction mode, such as advanced motion vector prediction, merge mode and skip mode, can also be applied when intra BC prediction is used, which simplifies implementation of intra BC prediction.

  • Publication number: 20250227273
    Abstract: Various innovations facilitate the use of intra-picture prediction modes such as palette prediction mode, intra block copy mode, intra line copy mode and intra string copy mode by an encoder or decoder when wavefront parallel processing (“WPP”) is enabled. For example, for a palette coding/decoding mode, an encoder or decoder predicts a palette for an initial unit in a current WPP row of a picture using previous palette data from a previous unit in a previous WPP row of the picture. Or, as another example, for an intra copy mode (e.g., intra block copy mode, intra string copy mode, intra line copy mode), an encoder enforces one or more constraints attributable to the WPP, or a decoder receives and decodes encoded data that satisfies one or more constraints attributable to WPP.

  • Patent number: 12353561
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing intent-based cluster administration are described herein. An orchestrator system includes: a processor; and memory to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the orchestrator system to: receive, at the orchestrator system, an administrative intent-based service level objective (SLO) for an infrastructure configuration of an infrastructure; map the administrative intent-based SLO to a set of imperative policies; deploy the set of imperative policies to the infrastructure; monitor performance of the infrastructure; detect non-compliance with the set of imperative policies; and modify the administrative intent-based SLO to generate a revised set of imperative policies that cause the performance of the infrastructure to be compliant with the revised set of imperative policies.

  • Patent number: 12353562
    Abstract: Provided is an automatic event graph construction method for multi-source vulnerability information. The method includes the following steps. A vulnerability report is crawled from a vulnerability database, a cause of vulnerability is taken as an event trigger word, and a vulnerability type is determined through the cause of vulnerability. An attacker, consequence, location and other information in a description are identified by named-entity recognition, and information completion is performed. An explicit relation between events is extracted by using text information, an implicit relation between events is extracted by using text similarity, and vulnerability-related code representation is performed. Obtained vulnerability event information is visualized into an event graph through a visualization tool.
