Abstract: A method and apparatus for inter prediction in video coding system are disclosed. According to the method, input data associated with a current block comprising at least one colour block are received. A blending predictor is determined according to a weighted sum of at least two candidate predictions generated based on one or more first hypotheses of prediction, one or more second hypotheses of prediction, or both. The first hypotheses of prediction are generated based on one or more intra prediction modes comprising a DC mode, a planar mode or at least one angular modes.

Abstract: A video coding system that uses multiple models to predict chroma samples is provided. The video coding system receives data for a block of pixels to be encoded or decoded as a current block of a current picture of a video.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for video coding system that uses intra prediction based on cross-colour linear model are disclosed. According to the method, model parameters for a first-colour predictor model are determined and the first-colour predictor model provides a predicted first-colour pixel value according to a combination of at least two corresponding reconstructed second-colour pixel values. According to another method, the first-colour predictor model provides a predicted first-colour pixel value based on a second degree model or higher of one or more corresponding reconstructed second-colour pixel values. First-colour predictors for the current first-colour block are determined according to the first-colour prediction model. The input data are then encoded at the encoder side or decoded at the decoder side using the first-colour predictors.

Abstract: A clock generator circuit may include a multiplex circuit and a phase-locked loop circuit. The multiplex circuit may generate a reference clock signal for the phase-locked loop circuit by selecting one of different clock signals. In response to a switch of the reference clock signal from one clock signal to another, the phase-locked loop circuit may disable phase-locking and enter into a frequency acquisition mode during which the frequency of the phase-locked loop circuit's output clock signal is adjusted based on the frequency of the newly selected reference clock signal. After a period of time has elapsed, the phase-locked loop circuit returns to phase-locking operation.

Abstract: In an automated detection system for acute ischemic stroke, a preprocessor performs registration on a whole-brain image and a standard-brain spatial template to extract individual brain region masks from the whole-brain image. A deep learning encoder performs feature extraction on the whole-brain image and the individual brain region masks, thereby converting the whole-brain image into 2D whole-brain slice images. A first processor maps the individual brain masks onto the whole-brain slice images for registration, thereby generating sets of brain region slice images. A second processor computes the stroke-related weight values of the slice images of each of the sets of brain region slice images and sums the weight values to obtain the characteristic value of each brain region. A disparity-aware classifier determines whether any brain region has acute ischemic stroke according to the characteristic value of each brain region.
