  • Patent number: 11849150
    Abstract: Several techniques for video encoding and video decoding are described. One example method includes performing a conversion between a video picture of a video comprising one or more slices and a bitstream of the video picture according to a rule. The rule specifies that that whether a first syntax element indicating a usage of a coding tool is present at a first level is based on a syntax flag indicating whether a syntax structure of a second level is not present at the first level, wherein the second level is higher than the first level, and wherein the second level is the video picture level or higher than the video picture level.

  • Patent number: 11841845
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques of providing data consistency for hybrid transactional and analytical processing. Logical logs and log serial numbers (LSNs) associated with the logical logs may be generated based on data captured by a first processing engine. The logical logs and the LSNs may be propagated to a storage subsystem configured to be in communication with the first processing engine and a second processing engine. The LSNs and information indicative of LSN schema versions may be stored and distributed by a metadata service. The first processing engine, the second processing engine, the storage subsystem and the metadata service are modularized, and support a LSN mechanism for maintaining data consistency.

  • Patent number: 11843725
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing video processing techniques are described. In one example implementation, a method of video processing includes determining, for a conversion between a current block of a video and a bitstream representation of the video, whether a combined inter and intra prediction (CIIP) coding technique is to be applied to the current block based on a characteristic of the current block. The CIIP coding technique uses an intermedia inter prediction value and an intermedia intra prediction value to derive a final prediction value of the current block. The method also includes performing the conversion based on the determining.

  • Publication number: 20230396809
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for video processing are described. The video processing may include video encoding, video decoding or video transcoding. One example method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a video including one or more video regions and a bitstream of the video according to a format rule. The format rule specifies that a variable X indicates whether B slice is allowed or used in a video region. The format rule further specifies that the variable X is based on values of a reference picture list information present flag and/or a field indicating a number of entries in a reference picture list syntax structure.
