  • Publication number: 20240214581
    Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatuses for improving compression efficiency in directional intra-prediction. A video encoding apparatus, which does not need to record intra mode information, includes a mode selector that selects one from among a plurality of intra modes on the basis of a directionality of at least one neighboring block that has already been reconstructed before a current block is reconstructed, an intra predictor that obtains a prediction block of the current block from the at least one neighboring block according to the directionality of the selected mode, and obtains a residual block by subtracting the prediction block from the current block, and a unit for encoding the obtained residual block.

  • Patent number: 11654939
    Abstract: In an autonomous driving apparatus and method, the apparatus includes a sensor unit, an output unit, a memory, and a processor configured to control the autonomous driving of an ego vehicle based on a map information stored in the memory. The processor generates an actual driving trajectory and an expected driving trajectory of a surrounding vehicle around the ego vehicle based on driving information of the surrounding vehicle detected by the sensor unit and the map information and controls one or more of the driving of the ego vehicle and provides communication with an external organization, based on a state of a passenger detected by the sensor unit when an autonomous driving mode of the ego vehicle is turned off, and based on an autonomous driving risk of the ego vehicle determined based on a trajectory error between the actual driving trajectory and expected driving trajectory of the surrounding vehicle.
