Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus comprises an electronic control unit which executes a driving assistance control to alert a driver of an own vehicle for avoiding a collision of the own vehicle with an oncoming vehicle when the own vehicle performs a crossing movement. The crossing movement is a movement of the own vehicle to turn, crossing a line along which the oncoming vehicle moves. The electronic control unit detects and sets the oncoming vehicle as an alert-target oncoming vehicle, executes the driving assistance control when determining that the own vehicle is going to collide with the alert-target oncoming vehicle after determining that the crossing movement of the own vehicle starts and before a predetermined after-crossing-start elapsing time elapses, and keeps the driving assistance control unexecuted after the after-crossing-start elapsing time threshold elapses.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in response to a first reconstructed image sample being located outside a virtual boundary, duplicates a reconstructed sample located inside and adjacent to the virtual boundary to generate the first reconstructed image sample. The circuitry generates a first coefficient value by applying a CCALF (cross component adaptive loop filtering) process to the first reconstructed image sample of a luma component. The circuitry generates a second coefficient value by applying an ALF (adaptive loop filtering) process to a second reconstructed image sample of a chroma component. The circuitry generates a third coefficient value by adding the first coefficient value to the second coefficient value, and encodes a third reconstructed image sample of the chroma component using the third coefficient value.
