  • Patent number: 11240516
    Abstract: An apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry that decodes prediction information for a current block in a current picture that is a part of a coded video sequence. The processing circuitry determines whether the current block is coded in an intra block copy (IBC) mode based on the prediction information. Responsive to the current block not being coded in the IBC mode, the processing circuitry determines whether a size of the current block is above a threshold. The processing circuitry determines that the current block is coded in an intra prediction mode based on a determination that the size of the current block is not above the threshold. The processing circuitry reconstructs the current block based on the intra prediction mode.

  • Patent number: 11238300
    Abstract: An object re-identifier. For each of a plurality of frames of a video, a quality of the frame is assessed and a confidence that a previously-recognized object is present in the frame is determined. The determined confidence for the frame is weighted based on the assessed quality of the frame such that frames with higher relative quality are weighted more heavily than frames with lower relative quality. An overall confidence that the previously-recognized object is present in the video is assessed based on the weighted determined confidences.

  • Patent number: 11236993
    Abstract: A depth camera assembly (DCA) includes a light generator emitting a beam of light into a local area and a detector. The detector captures light from the beam reflected by objects in the local area to a portion of an array of pixels that each include a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD). The location of the portion of the array is based in part on the angle of the beam emitted from the projector. The DCA identifies a set of pixels of the array corresponding to the portion and selectively retrieves current generated from the reflected light by the pixels in the portion of the array without retrieving current generated by pixels in other portions of the array.
