Abstract: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a titanium implant with a surface coating in a crater-like porous shape. A titanium substrate is subjected to polishing, cleaning, and first drying in sequence to obtain a pretreated titanium substrate. This step eliminates an influence of roughness and surface impurities of the titanium substrate on roughness and a structure of a coating formed on a surface of the titanium substrate after micro-arc oxidation, so as to obtain a titanium implant with a specific structure and a desirable biological performance. The micro-arc oxidation is conducted using the pretreated titanium substrate as an anode and iron as a cathode in an electrolyte containing sodium phosphate. In this step, a micro-arc oxidation coating is formed on the surface of the titanium substrate to obtain the titanium implant with a surface coating in a crater-like porous shape.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to pre-encoding processing of a video stream with motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) are described. An apparatus determines a filtering interval for a received raw video stream having pictures in a temporal sequence. The apparatus selects from the pictures a plurality of target pictures based on the filtering interval, as well as a group of reference pictures for each target picture to perform pixel-based MCTF, which generates a corresponding filtered picture for each target picture. The apparatus subsequently transmits the filtered pictures as well as non-target pictures to an encoder for encoding the video stream. Subpictures of natural images and screen content images are separately processed by the apparatus.
