    Abstract: Disclosed are an image display method and a 3d display system. The method is adapted to the 3d display system including a 3d display device and includes the following steps. A first image and a second image are obtained by splitting an input image according to a 3d image format. Whether the input image is a 3D format image complying with the 3D image format is determined through a stereo matching processing performed on the first image and the second image. An image interweaving process is enabled to be performed on the input image to generate an interweaving image in response to determining that the input image is the 3D format image complying with the 3D image format, and the interweaving image is displayed via the 3D display device.

  • Publication number: 20240107597
    Abstract: This invention presents methods leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models to enhance wireless communications efficiency in 5G/6G networks. The processes involve storing, configuring, and transferring AI/ML models within base stations and user equipment devices (UE), allowing for localized decision-making and improved network performance. Features include dynamic model activation/deactivation, model compression/decompression, and encoding/decoding method negotiation. Periodic or condition-driven model updates ensure responsiveness to network changes, while model replacements enable upgrades and iterations. The system facilitates seamless handovers between base stations, with information sharing about model capabilities and UE specifics. Model storage and configuration can also occur in the UE, empowering it for local decision-making in variable or challenging network conditions.
