  • Patent number: 11875516
    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing a sequence of image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first image frame of a sequence of image frames from an image capture device and select a first portion of a first image frame. The at least one processor may also be configured to obtain alignment information and determine a first portion and a second portion of a second image frame based on the alignment information. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a bounding region within the second image frame and fetch image data corresponding to the bounding region of the second image frame from memory. In some examples, the first image frame may comprise a base image and the second image frame may comprise an alternative image frame. Further, the first image frame may comprise any one of the image frames of the sequence of image frames.

    Abstract: Decoding a current block of a current frame includes obtaining motion trajectories between the current frame and at least one previously coded frame by projecting motion vectors from the at least one previously coded frame onto the current frame. A motion field is obtained between the current frame and a reference frame used for coding the current frame. The motion field is obtained by extending the motion trajectories from the current frame towards the reference frame. A motion vector for the current block is identified based on the motion field. A prediction block is obtained for the current block using a reference block of the reference frame identified using the motion vector.

  • Publication number: 20220356890
    Abstract: A locking device and a functional module including the locking device are provided. The locking device includes a mounting frame with a latching column, and a locking assembly locking or releasing the mounting frame. The locking assembly includes a main body pivotally connected with the mounting frame, a latch rotatably connected with the main body, and a sliding cover slidably mounted on the main body and can drive the latch to rotate relative to the main body. When the latch is engaged with the latching column, the locking assembly is locked to the mounting frame. When the sliding cover is moved relative to the main body, the latch rotates relative to the main body to disengage from the latching column. The latch does not need to be rotated separately, and unlocking efficiency of the locking device is improved.
