  • Publication number: 20230403422
    Abstract: Conventional television audience measurements are made with diaries or by imaging the area in front of a television and trying to identify the people in the images watching television. Unfortunately, diaries are only accurate if the audience members record entries in them, and image-based techniques are intrusive. The present techniques address these problems by using a viewer's wearable device to measure a viewer's proximity to a television. The wearable device emits or receives low-power beacon signals; measurements of the signal strength are used to calculate the viewer's distance to the television. If the viewer is close enough to the television and the television is on, the viewer may be engaged with the content on the television. This system is simple, non-intrusive, and can used to measure engagement with each television in a multi-television household.

  • Publication number: 20230403405
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. For example, the processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current coding tree unit (CTU) from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of an intra block copy mode. A size of the current CTU is smaller than a maximum size of a reference sample memory for storing reconstructed samples. The processing circuitry determines a block vector that points to a reference block in a same picture as the current block. The reference block has reconstructed samples buffered in the reference sample memory. Then, the processing circuitry reconstructs at least a sample of the current block based on the reconstructed samples of the reference block that are retrieved from the reference sample memory.

  • Publication number: 20230401889
    Abstract: An image sensor for imaging fingerprints has multiple photodiode groups each with field of view through a microlens determined by optical characteristics of the microlens and locations of the microlens and openings of upper and lower mask layers. Many photodiode groups have fields of view outwardly splayed from a center-direct field of view. A diameter of openings of the upper mask layer distant from the group having a center-direct field of view is larger than openings of a photodiode group having a center-direct field of view. A method of matching illumination of a group of photodiodes with center-direct field of view to illumination of photodiode groups having outwardly splayed fields of view includes sizing openings in the upper mask layer of photodiode groups with outwardly splayed fields of view larger than openings in the upper mask layer associated with photodiode groups having center-direct field of view.
