  • Publication number: 20220279187
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are configured for intra prediction coding of video data. An apparatus for decoding video data includes: a decoding unit which obtains, from a bitstream, information on a luma prediction mode and information on a chroma prediction mode of a current coding block; and an intra prediction unit which generates luma prediction samples and chroma prediction samples of the current coding block. The intra prediction unit derives a luma intra prediction type and a luma intra prediction mode of the current coding block on the basis of the information on the luma prediction mode, and determines a chroma intra prediction mode of the current coding block on the basis of the luma intra prediction type and the luma intra prediction mode of the current coding block, and the information on the chroma prediction mode.

  • Patent number: 11432002
    Abstract: A video decoding apparatus is provided for decoding pictures using inter-prediction. The video decoding apparatus includes a predictor that generates affine prediction samples for respective subblocks in a target block in a current picture to be decoded by performing affine motion prediction on a subblock-by-subblock basis using control point motion vectors which respectively correspond to corners of the target block. The predictor also modifies sample values of the affine prediction samples by executing a first coding tool, the first coding tool compensating for motion according to sample positions in each of the subblocks using the control point motion vectors.

  • Publication number: 20220114845
    Abstract: A system for collecting and managing vehicle-generated data from a vehicle utilizes the vehicle-generated data that is anonymized into a de-identified version of a vehicle identification number (VIN) of an associated vehicle. The de-identified version of the VIN facilitates statistical analysis of the vehicle-generated data without raising issues with regard to privacy of individuals. The anonymized vehicle-generated data can be held in a neutral data server, which is administered by an operator independent of vehicle manufacturers, and provided to a third party.
