  • Publication number: 20240089495
    Abstract: A method and a device for encoding or decoding video data. It concerns more particularly the encoding according to a particular encoding mode using a decoder side motion vector derivation mode referenced as frame-rate up conversion mode or FRUC mode. In FRUC merge mode, the derivation process comprises a refinement step to increase the accuracy of the obtained motion vector at the sub-pixel level. This process involves the evaluation of different sub-pixel position around the obtained motion vector according to different patterns. The present invention has been devised to improve the known refinement step. It aims at improving the coding efficiency by considering the characteristics of the matching type and/or the signal inside the templates.

  • Patent number: 11924433
    Abstract: The disclosure regards cross-component prediction and methods for deriving of a linear model for obtaining a first-component sample for a first-component block from an associated reconstructed second-component sample of a second-component block in the same frame, the method comprising determining the parameters of a linear equation representing a straight line passing through two points, each point being defined by two variables, the first variable corresponding to a second-component sample value, the second variable corresponding to a first-component sample value, based on reconstructed samples of both the first-component and the second-component; and deriving the linear model defined by the straight line parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220218010
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of legume proteins and in particular the organoleptic improvement of the proteins. The invention particularly relates to a method for co-atomizing a legume protein composition and at least one flavoring, comprising the steps of dissolving and mixing a legume protein composition and at least one flavoring in an aqueous solvent, heat-treating the aqueous suspension obtained and drying, by co-atomization, the aqueous suspension which has been heat-treated. When the different steps are carried out, the method according to the invention allows a synergistic effect to be obtained in the reduction of the legume flavor of the proteins. The invention also relates to a co-atomized composition comprising a legume protein composition and at least one flavoring, and to its use in preparing human or animal food compositions.
