  • Patent number: 11949862
    Abstract: An apparatus for video decoding includes receiving and processing circuitry. The circuitry is configured to receive a bitstream including a syntax element associated with a parent coding unit (CU) in a picture indicating the parent CU is partitioned into a predefined set of child CUs without performing a recursive tree-structure-based partitioning, and process the child CUs according to the indication of the syntax element to reconstruct the picture. In an embodiment, at least two subdivisions need to be performed when the parent CU is partitioned using the recursive tree-structure-based partitioning in order to obtain the same set of child CUs. In an embodiment, at least one of the child CUs has a size larger than a minimum allowed CU size for partitioning the parent CU and includes no syntax element to indicate whether the at least one of the child CUs is to be further subdivided.

  • Publication number: 20230421779
    Abstract: In a method for decoding, a running state of a decoder that is performing hardware decoding on a plurality of first content data is acquired. When the running state of the decoder is determined to be in an idle state between the decoding of the plurality of first content data, second content data is acquired, the second content data being a copy of one of the plurality of first content data. Further, decoding is performed on the second content data by processing circuitry of the decoder.

  • Publication number: 20230408656
    Abstract: Object detection for ranging sensor data may detect objects which are not actually present in the environment. To identify certain of these phantom objects, objects detected in the environment are analyzed to determine whether they are enclosed by another object and if the enclosed object has a distance from the ranging sensor higher than the enclosing object. This may suggest that the enclosing object has a surface or other feature that is sensed as additional depth that manifests as a separate detectable object. These phantom objects are identified and removed from further perception processing.
