  • Patent number: 11388394
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for processing video data. For instance, a current block of a picture of the video data can be obtained, and it can be determined that the current block includes more than one virtual pipeline data unit (VPDU). Current neighbor samples for the current block, reference neighbor samples for the current block, and additional neighbor samples for the current block can be obtained for illumination compensation. One or more illumination compensation parameters can be determined for the current block using the current neighbor samples, the reference neighbor samples, and the additional neighbor samples. The additional neighbor samples are used for determining the one or more illumination compensation parameters based on the current block covering more than one VPDU. Illumination compensation can be performed for the current block using the one or more illumination compensation parameters.

  • Patent number: 11368684
    Abstract: Techniques are described for adaptation parameter sets (APS) for adaptive loop filter (ALF) parameters. One example involves obtaining an APS ID value and an APS type value associated with a NAL unit from a bitstream. A first APS associated with at least a portion of at least one picture is identified, with the first APS being uniquely identified by a combination of the APS type value and the APS identifier value, and the APS identifier value of the first APS is in a range based on the APS type value. The portion of the at least one picture is then reconstructed using an adaptive loop filter with parameters defined by the first APS uniquely identified by the APS type value and the APS identifier value.

  • Publication number: 20220125385
    Abstract: The invention discloses a sparse Bayesian learning (SBL)-based SSR brain source localization method. An SSR record is divided into multiple data segments, frequency-domain information of the data segments is extracted through FFT, and a data matrix is constructed. An automatic iteration stop condition and initial values of a sparse support vector and a spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG)-electrical noise joint power vector are set. The posteriori mean and covariance of SSR components are iteratively estimated and the sparse support vector and the spontaneous EEG-electrical noise joint power vector are updated accordingly. When the iteration ends, the ultimate sparse support vector is used to give a source localization result. An SSR source localization problem is modeled in the frequency domain, the joint sparsity of signals in multiple data segments is involved, and a brain source localization method applicable to various SSRs is given in an SBL framework.
