Abstract: A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a bitstream comprising a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) patches in an atlas frame and a three-dimensional (3D) bounding box scale. The 2D patches are decoded. A point cloud is reconstructed by converting the 2D patches to a 3D patch coordinate system defined by each projection plane of the 3D bounding box. The 3D bounding box scale is applied to a 3D bounding box.

Abstract: A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a bitstream comprising a plurality of two dimensional (2D) patches in an atlas frame and a camera offset for a camera. The patches are decoded and converted to a three dimensional (3D) patch coordinate system to obtain a point cloud frame. An offset matrix is determined based on the camera offset. The offset is then applied matrix to the point cloud frame.

Abstract: Motion blur is applied to select objects in a video, e.g., to footballs in flight or to a tennis ball during a tennis match. Motion blur is applied only to the tennis ball, rather than the entire screen, or only to the football. If desired, the TV can also increase the contrast or apply a glow around the object of interest so that the user can have an easier time tracking the object of interest. Should the user pause a sports broadcast at any frame or play in slow motion, the position of the object in the trick play format is interpolated as being the center position of the motion-blurred image.

Abstract: An audio video device (AVD) includes a processor configured for controlling a display, as well as a at least one computer readable storage medium that is not a carrier wave and that is accessible to the processor. The computer readable storage medium bears instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to present, on the display, at least an user interface (UI) of available audio video (AV) content (programming). The UI includes information for at least one available AV content including a first AV content. Further, the information for the first AV content includes the current number of other AVDs presenting the first AV content, the current rating of the first AV content, the current number of likes or dislikes of the first AV content, the current number of comments regarding the first AV content, and/or an indication of whether the first AV content is currently trending.

Abstract: An accessing computer accessing an image specified by a web page to be rendered at a resolution that is smaller than the resolution of the full image downloaded from the server does not store the full image. Instead, the accessing computer immediately decompresses the full image to the specified smaller resolution, renders it, and then stores the smaller version of the image.
