  • Patent number: 11956421
    Abstract: Method and apparatus of video coding are disclosed. According to one method, in the decoder side, a predefined Intra mode is assigned to a neighboring block adjacent to the current luma block when the neighboring block satisfies one or more conditions. An MPM (Most Probable Mode) list is derived based on information comprising at least one of neighboring Intra modes. A current Intra mode is derived utilizing the MPM list. The current luma block is decoded according to the current Intra mode According to another method, a predefined Intra mode is assigned to a neighboring block adjacent to the current luma block if the neighboring block is coded in BDPCM (Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation) mode, where the predefined Intra mode is set to horizontal mode or vertical mode depending on prediction direction used by the BDPCM mode.

  • Patent number: 11934027
    Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

  • Patent number: 11917185
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of Inter prediction for video coding using Multi-hypothesis (MH) are disclosed. If an MH mode is used for the current block: at least one MH candidate is derived using reduced reference data by adjusting at least one coding-control setting; an Inter candidate list is generated, where the Inter candidate list comprises said at least one MH candidate; and current motion information associated with the current block is encoded using the Inter candidate list at the video encoder side or the current motion information associated with the current block is decoded at the video decoder side using the Merge candidate list. The coding control setting may correspond to prediction direction setting, filter tap setting, block size of reference block to be fetched, reference picture setting or motion limitation setting.

  • Patent number: 11316240
    Abstract: A transition structure for millimeter wave is provided. The transition structure includes a first layer signal element coupled to an end of a first transmission line and a plurality of first layer ground elements surrounding the end of the first transmission line equidistantly from the end of the first transmission line and disposed along two opposite sides of a strip body of the first transmission line equidistantly from the strip body of the first transmission line. The transition structure further includes an intermediate layer signal element coupled to the first layer signal element and a plurality of intermediate layer ground elements surrounding the intermediate layer signal element quasi-coaxially. A multilayer transition structure including a multilayer structure and the transition structure is also provided. Therefore, the problem of operating frequency caused by the thickness of the multilayer structure can be overcome, thereby increasing the resonance frequency of the multilayer structure.
