Abstract: A method for video encoding includes determining a filter shape of a cross-component filter applied to a chroma coding block (CB), generating a first intermediate CB by applying a loop filter to the chroma CB, and generating a second intermediate CB by applying, to a corresponding luma CB, the cross-component filter applied to the chroma CB and having the determined filter shape. The method further includes determining a filtered chroma CB based on the first intermediate CB and the second intermediate CB by combining the loop filtered chroma CB with the cross-component filtered luma CB, and generating coded information of the chroma CB in a coded video bitstream. Determining the filter shape includes determining the filter shape of the cross-component filter based on the number of the filter coefficients and based on at least one of (i) the chroma subsampling format or (ii) the chroma sample type.

Abstract: A genome-specific gene sequence fragment of female Acipenser Dabryanus and a method for identifying the sex of Acipenser Dabryanus are disclosed. The gene sequence fragment of Acipenser Dabryanus is used to identify the sex of Acipenser Dabryanus. The method includes: performing PCR amplification on the DNA of the Acipenser Dabryanus to be tested, and judging that the Acipenser Dabryanus to be tested is female when a resultant product from the amplification shows 3 bands on an agarose gel and the Acipenser Dabryanus to be tested is male when a resultant product from the amplification shows 2 bands on an agarose gel, alternatively, judging that the Acipenser Dabryanus to be tested is female when a resultant fragment from the amplification has a 1402 bp band and it is male if there is no 1402 bp band. The gene sequence fragment is used to quickly and efficiently identify the sex of Acipenser Dabryanus.

Abstract: In a fault image generation method, a processing device obtains a non-fault image and a first fault image, where the non-fault image records a first object that is not faulty, the first fault image records a second object that is faulty, and a type of the first object is different from a type of the second object. The processing device then migrates a fault pattern of the second object in the first fault image to the first object in the non-fault image, to obtain a second fault image, where the second fault image presents the first object in a faulty state.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for indirect communication. In example embodiments, a method is provided. The method comprises receiving, at a second service communication proxy (SCP), a service request and an access token from a first SCP, the service request originating from a first network function (NF) for requesting a service from a second NF and comprising a header indicating scope information about the requested service; verifying the access token based on the header of the service request; and in response to the verification of the access token succeeding, transmitting the service request to the second NF without transmitting the access token to the second NF. As such, the verification of the access token is offloaded from the second NF to the SCPp, thereby reducing the overhead on the second NF.

Abstract: A method of video coding, executable by a processor, includes receiving video data having a coding tree unit size, determining whether the coding tree unit size is greater than a predetermined threshold, and in response to the coding tree unit size being greater than the predetermined threshold, signaling, in a sequence parameter set (SPS), a first flag indicating whether a maximum transform size in luma samples is equal to 64. The first flag being equal to 1 specifies that the maximum transform size in luma samples is equal to 64, the first flag equal to 0 specifies that the maximum transform size in luma samples is equal to 32, and when not present, the first flag is inferred to be equal to 0.

Abstract: In an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for creating a suggested task set to meet a target value. A cloud server, in response to receiving a request specifying a target value, retrieves completed task sets from a database. Each completed task set includes a same set of task categories. The cloud server derives a number of ratios from the retrieved completed task sets, including a composition ratio and a conversion rate for each task category, and an addition ratio for the number of completed task sets. Based on the derived ratios and the specified target value, the cloud server constructs the suggested task set, and displays in real-time the suggested task set together with current values for the task categories. The cloud server alerts users of a discrepancy between a current value and the corresponding suggested value for a task category when the discrepancy reaches a predetermined level.
