  • Patent number: 12190666
    Abstract: A user identification system includes one or more processors configured to receive a first indication of a vehicle identity of a vehicle at an entrance of a location and retrieve a user profile associated with the vehicle identity from a user profile database. The user profile includes one or more user identities of one or more users authorized to enter the location. The one or more processors are configured to receive a second indication of a current user identity of a current user positioned in the vehicle, determine that the current user identity corresponds to a particular user identity of the one or more user identities, and output a control signal indicative of instructions to enable access to the location in response to the current user identity corresponding to the particular user identity.

  • Patent number: 12166988
    Abstract: Video processing methods, devices, and systems are provided. In one example aspect, a method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a current block of a video and a coded representation of the video. The current block has a width W and a height H and includes an allowable scanning region that includes non-zero transform coefficients that are coded in the coded representation according to a scanning order. The allowable scanning region is restricted to a portion of the current block according to a rule that specifies that a bottom-right corner position of the allowable scanning region is different than a bottom-right corner position of the current block.

  • Patent number: 12063361
    Abstract: An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may comprise generating a reconstructed block for a current block, determining a target boundary for the reconstructed block, determining a first target block and a second target block based on a sample adjacent to the target boundary, and performing deblocking filtering on the sample adjacent to the target boundary, based on a prediction mode of at least one of the first target block or the second target block. In this case, a value of the sample adjacent to the target boundary may not be changed based on the prediction mode of at least one of the first target block or the second target block being a palette mode.

  • Patent number: 11863768
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for processing image data are described. One example method includes performing a conversion between a visual media file and a bitstream. The visual media file comprises image items each comprising a sequence of pictures according to a media file format, and the bitstream comprises access units each comprising one or more pictures each belonging to a layer according to a video coding format. The media file format specifies a suggested transition period of an image item to be applied for a transition between the image item and a next image item during displaying of the pictures as a slideshow.

  • Patent number: 7499597
    Abstract: An image-processing device that performs image processes for pixel data of an image, to generate image-processed data. The amount of the image-processed data is greater than that of the pixel data, for each line of the image. The pixel data are stored in a recording area of a memory. The capacity of the recording area for one line's worth of the pixel data is coincident with a maximum amount of data in one line of the image-processed data. The pixel data are stored in the recording area such that a last pixel data in a sequentially stored series of pixel data for the one line is stored at an end address of the recording area.
