  • Patent number: 12108060
    Abstract: Methods and systems for frame rate scalability are described. Support is provided for input and output video sequences with variable frame rate and variable shutter angle across scenes, or for input video sequences with fixed input frame rate and input shutter angle, but allowing a decoder to generate a video output at a different output frame rate and shutter angle than the corresponding input values. Techniques allowing a decoder to decode more computationally-efficiently a specific backward compatible target frame rate and shutter angle among those allowed are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20240320170
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer program product for data access. The method includes acquiring a priority of a workload associated with an input/output (I/O) instruction of a user, and determining, based on the priority, whether to perform data access to a persistent memory indicated by the I/O instruction by using a central processing unit (CPU). If it is determined not to perform the data access by using the CPU, the data access is performed by using a programmable data moving apparatus. The method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can avoid that important workloads compete for CPU resources equally with secondary workloads, and alleviate blocking of workloads due to insufficient CPU resources, thereby improving the overall performance of persistent memory access.

  • Publication number: 20240323312
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for automatically reframing a video for a conference participant. Video of the participant is captured, and a first position of the participant is detected. An offset for the first position of the participant is then calculated to determine a relative distance from the center of the video frame. The captured video is modified based on the offset and is then presented in the video conference.

  • Publication number: 20240305791
    Abstract: Given a sequence of images in a first codeword representation, methods, processes, and systems are presented for integrating reshaping into a next generation video codec for encoding and decoding the images, wherein reshaping allows part of the images to be coded in a second codeword representation which allows more efficient compression than using the first codeword representation. A variety of architectures are discussed, including: an out-of-loop reshaping architecture, an in-loop-for intra pictures only reshaping architecture, an in-loop architecture for prediction residuals, and a hybrid in-loop reshaping architecture. Syntax methods for signaling reshaping parameters, and image-encoding methods optimized with respect to reshaping are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20240289081
    Abstract: A screen sharing system and a screen sharing method for a video conference are provided. The screen sharing method includes the following. An identifier is transmitted and video data matching the identifier is transmitted by a first terminal device. Status information corresponding to a second terminal device is received by the first terminal device in response to transmitting the video data. A prompt message is output by the first terminal device according to the status information. The first terminal device determines whether screen sharing with the second terminal device is successful according to the prompt message.
