  • Patent number: 12652405
    Abstract: An apparatus includes processing circuitry that is configured to receive a bitstream including coded information of a current block. The processing circuitry is configured to partition the current block into a first partition and a second partition based on a geometric partition mode (GPM). The processing circuitry is configured to determine a first prediction mode for the first partition based on a first number of direct neighboring reconstructed samples of the current block being larger than a threshold value. The processing circuitry is configured to, when the first number of direct neighboring reconstructed samples of the current block is less than the threshold value, infer that the first prediction mode is inter prediction mode, a flag indicating whether the current block is intra coded or inter coded not being signaled in the bitstream, and reconstruct the first partition of the current block based on the first prediction mode.

  • Publication number: 20260147213
    Abstract: A head-mounted, near-eye display system comprises a stack of waveguides having integral spacers separating the waveguides. The waveguides may each include diffractive optical elements that are formed simultaneously with the spacers by imprinting or casting. The spacers are disposed on one or more major surfaces of the waveguides and define a distance between immediately adjacent waveguides. Adjacent waveguides may be bonded using adhesives on the spacers. The spacers may fit within indentations of overlying waveguides. In some cases, the spacers may form one or more walls of material substantially around a perimeter of an associated waveguide. Vent holes may be provided in the walls to allow gas flow into and out from an interior volume defined by the spacers. Debris trapping structures may be provided between two walls of spacers to trap and prevent debris from entering into the interior volume.
