  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIDEO CODING
    Publication number: 20230033765
    Abstract: A decoder includes circuitry which, in operation, parses a first flag indicating whether a CCALF (cross component adaptive loop filtering) process is enabled for a first block located adjacent to a left side of a current block; parses a second flag indicating whether the CCALF process is enabled for a second block located adjacent to an upper side of the current block; determines a first index associated with a color component of the current block; and derives a second index indicating a context model, using the first flag, the second flag, and the first index. The circuitry, in operation, performs entropy decoding of a third flag indicating whether the CCALF process is enabled for the current block, using the context model indicated by the second index; and performs the CCALF process on the current block in response to the third flag indicating the CCALF process is enabled for the current block.

  • VEHICLE-MOUNTED POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230026820
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted power supply system includes a sampling circuit, a voltage comparison control circuit, a power conversion circuit, and a motor. The sampling circuit is configured to obtain an output voltage value of an output terminal of the power conversion circuit. The voltage comparison control circuit is configured to output a first power adjustment signal to the power conversion circuit when the output voltage value is less than a first target voltage value. The power conversion circuit is configured to increase an output voltage to a first target voltage based on the first power adjustment signal, to output the output voltage to the motor and increase an input voltage of the motor. When a voltage of a power supply is low, the input voltage of the motor can be maintained at a required level.

    Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in operation: determines whether a size of a current block, which is a unit for which a vector candidate list including vector candidates is generated, is less than or equal to a threshold; when the size of the current block is less than or equal to the threshold, generates the vector candidate list by registering a history-based motion vector predictor (HMVP) vector candidate in the vector candidate list from an HMVP table without performing a first pruning process; when the size of the current block is greater than the threshold, generates the vector candidate list by performing the first pruning process and registering the HMVP vector candidate in the vector candidate list from the HMVP table; and encodes the current block using the vector candidate list.

The circuitry generates a third coefficient value by adding the first coefficient value to the clipped second coefficient value, and clips the third coefficient value. The circuitry encodes a third reconstructed image sample of the chroma component using the clipped third coefficient value.
