Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for voice-controlled content creation. The techniques comprise monitoring voice commands spoken by a creator. Recording of a content may be initiated in response to recognizing a first voice command spoken by the creator. Recording of the content may be stopped in response to recognizing a second voice command spoken by the creator. A timestamp associated with the second voice command may be created. A segment may be automatically deleted from the content based on the timestamp. The segment may comprise a recording of the second voice command.

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.

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.

Abstract: An electronic device capable of attaching/detaching a device including an arithmetic processing unit: divides data that is a processing target of the arithmetic processing unit to obtain a plurality of divided data; determines a first command group that is a combination of a plurality of types of commands used to transmit each of the plurality of divided data to the device; and transmits the divided data using the determined first command group. The electronic device changes a combination of commands that form the first command group between a case in which certain divided data of the plurality of divided data is transmitted and a case in which another divided data is transmitted.

Abstract: A method for managing downloading of images associated with image jumps liable to be implemented during accelerated playback of content. The content is able to be downloaded from a communications network. According to the method at least one image associated with a jump is downloaded in advance.

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.

Abstract: A method for image decoding performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present disclosure comprises the steps of: deriving an ATMVP candidate for a current block; deriving merge candidates for the current block; deriving prediction samples for the current block on the basis of the merge candidates and the ATMVP candidate; and deriving reconstruction samples for the current block on the basis of the prediction samples, wherein the ATMVP candidate is a spatial neighboring block spatially adjacent to the current block.

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.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus including a mounting part capable of attaching/detaching a device obtains, if a device mounted in the mounting part has a function of executing analysis processing for data obtained by the image capturing apparatus, from the device, information of a setting concerning processing to be executed by the image capturing apparatus to cause the device to execute the analysis processing for the data, executes, based on the obtained information of the setting, the processing to be executed by the image capturing apparatus, and performs output based on a result of the analysis processing and a result of the processing.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system and computer-implemented non-transitory memory may encode h.264/AVC compliant video with region of interest compression, wherein a hybrid region of interest of each frame may include both an enlarged luminance region of interest of each frame and in addition thereto an excess portion of an enlarged chrominance region of interest of each frame, in excess of the enlarged luminance region of interest of each frame.

Abstract: A method includes providing a mission regarding image capturing to a user terminal having an image capture function, evaluating an image transmitted from the user terminal in response to the mission, and additionally providing a new mission regarding image capturing to the user terminal in a case where a level of achievement of the mission is determined to satisfy a criterion based on the evaluation.

Abstract: An image management apparatus may include an input image setting information acquiring unit configured to, when image analysis information on an input image is set, acquire setting information as input image setting information, an available setting information acquiring unit configured to acquire setting information as available setting information, an update necessity determining unit configured to determine whether or not an update of the image analysis information is necessary, on the basis of a difference between the input image setting information and the available setting information, and an image analysis information setting unit configured to, when it is determined that an update of the image analysis information is necessary, perform image analysis on the input image using the second image analysis processing unit so as to set new image analysis information.

Abstract: Program reservation information is input to a recording-medium image recording apparatus, and a recording medium is selected. In the event that automatic updating (overwriting) of the recording medium is set in a state wherein automatic recording to the recording medium has been set, simply inserting the recording medium in that state into the device starts a reservation image recording mode, whereby program reservation is executed, and the recording medium is overwritten by image recording from the top at all times regardless of the contents of the recording medium.

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.
