Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for coding 3D video block units. In one example, a video encoder is configured to determine a first real-world depth range for a first depth view component comprising a reference view component, determine a second real-world depth range for a second depth view component comprising a current view component, wherein the current view component is predicted relative to the reference view component, determine a predictive block for a portion of the current view component from the reference view component, adjust values of the predictive block based on a difference between the first real-world depth range and the second real-world depth range, and predict the portion of the current view based on the adjusted values of the predictive block.
Abstract:
In view of the characteristics of distributed applications, the present invention proposes a technical solution for applying a shared memory on an NIC comprising: a shared memory configured to provide shared storage space for a task of a distributed application, and a microcontroller. Furthermore, the present invention provides a computer device that includes the above-mentioned NIC, a method for controlling a read/write operation on a shared memory of a NIC, and a method for invoking the NIC. The use of the technical solution provided in the present invention bypasses the processing of network protocol stack, avoids the time delay introduced by the network protocol stack. The present invention does not need to perform TCP/IP encapsulation on the data packet, thus greatly saving additional packet header and packet tail overheads generated from the TCP/IP layer data encapsulation.
Abstract:
A video coding device may be configured to code a bitstream including multiple views plus depth information. Two of the views may have reduced resolutions, while a third view may have a full resolution. The third view may be predicted relative to upsampled versions of the two reduced-resolution views. Each view may include texture data and depth data, such that a view component may include a texture component and a depth component. Moreover, the texture and depth components may be arranged within an access unit according to a particular order, which may simplify component extraction from the access unit.
Abstract:
In one example, a video decoder is configured to store an adaptation parameter set (APS) data structure in a buffer of a coding device, wherein the APS data structure includes signaling data applicable to one or more slices of video data, decode at least one of the slices based on the signaling data of the APS data structure, after decoding the slice, determine that the APS data structure can be removed from the buffer, remove the APS data structure from the buffer based on the determination, and decode one or more additional slices of the video data after removing the APS data structure from the buffer.
Abstract:
A method of data loading for large information warehouses includes performing checkpointing concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse, the checkpointing ensuring consistency among multiple tables; and recovering from a failure in the data loading using the checkpointing. A method is also disclosed for performing versioning concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse. The versioning method enables processing undo and redo operations of the data loading between a later version and a previous version. Data load failure recovery is performed without starting a data load from the beginning but rather from a latest checkpoint for data loading at an information warehouse level using a checkpoint process characterized by a state transition diagram having a multiplicity of states; and tracking state transitions among the states using a system state table.
Abstract:
A device may encapsulate video data such that Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) messages are stored separately from a sequence of coded video pictures described by the SEI messages. An example device includes a control unit configured to generate one or more SEI messages separate from the coded video pictures, wherein the SEI messages describe respective ones of the sequence of coded video pictures and include elements common to more than one of the coded video pictures, and an output interface configured to output the SEI messages separately from the sequence of coded video pictures. An example destination device may receive the SEI messages separately from the coded video pictures and render the coded video pictures using the SEI messages.
Abstract:
Techniques for encoding a two-dimensional (2D) video sequence of video frames along with three-dimensional (3D) conversion information comprising a set of parameters that can be applied to each of the video frames of the 2D sequence to generate 3D video data are described. The set of parameters can be applied to each of the original video frames of the 2D sequence to generate secondary views of each of the original video frames. The original video frames and the secondary views may collectively define a stereoscopic 3D video sequence.

Abstract:
A mechanical structure is provided with a crystalline superelastic alloy that is characterized by an average grain size and that exhibits a martensitic phase transformation resulting from a mechanical stress input greater than a characteristic first critical stress. A configuration of the superelastic alloy is provided with a geometric structural feature of the alloy that has an extent that is no greater than about 200 micrometers and that is no larger than the average grain size of the alloy. This geometric feature undergoes the martensitic transformation without intergranular fracture of the geometric feature.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for indicating that a video frame is coded as a generalized P/B (GPB) frame in order to reduce a cost of coding and constructing a second reference picture list in video coding. For a GPB frame, which has identical reference picture lists, signaling and constructing both the first and second reference picture lists may be redundant. The techniques of this disclosure may include coding syntax elements indicating that the video frame is coded as the GPB frame, and coding syntax elements indicating a number of reference pictures and reference picture list construction commands for only a first reference picture list. The techniques also include constructing the first reference picture list based on the syntax elements, and then creating the second reference picture list as a duplicate of the first reference picture list.
