Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure provide systems and methods for motion refinement in a video. The method may include determining an initial motion vector for a video block of a video frame from the video. The method may include determining a matching target based on a weighted combination of a first reference block from a first reference frame in the video and a second reference block from a second reference frame in the video. The method may include performing a bilateral matching based motion refinement process at a block level to iteratively update the initial motion vector based on the matching target until a refined motion vector is obtained. The method may include refining a motion vector for each sub-block in the video block using the refined motion vector of the video block. Refining the motion vector at a sub-block level applies an affine motion model of the video block.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to use of a Clostridium ghonii spore combined with pembrolizumab in cancer treatment. It is found for the first time that the Clostridium ghonii spore combined with pembrolizumab can significantly improve a curative effect of colon cancer and reduce a dose of the pembrolizumab, and thus is efficient and low-toxic. Oncolysis by Clostridium ghonii can affect immunogenicity of a tumor microenvironment (TME) by various ways, converts an immunosuppressive state of the TME into an immune-activated state, adjusts the immunosuppressive TME, and breaks an immune tolerance. An optimal combination of the Clostridium ghonii spore and the pembrolizumab thoroughly removes about 20% of mouse tumor tissues. A benefit range of patients with tumors treated by a PD-1 antibody is expanded. The combination even has an obvious curative effect on patients failed the treatment by the PD-1 antibody.
