Abstract

A three-dimensional data decoding method includes: selecting, from among contexts, a first context for an encoded first information item to be processed; and arithmetic-decoding the encoded first information item to be processed, using the first context, to generate a first information item to be processed. Encoded first information items including the encoded first information item to be processed are included in a bitstream generated by encoding an information item about positions of three-dimensional points. The encoded first information items are generated by arithmetic-encoding first information items including the first information item to be processed. The first information items each correspond to a different one of reference positions and indicate whether a three-dimensional point corresponding to a reference position corresponding to the first information item is present.

Abstract

According to a communication method of the present disclosure, a responder, after the end of transmission sector sweep (TXSS), receives from an initiator a first feedback frame including a BF training type FIELD indicating whether or not to implement a beam forming training (BFT) of a single user multi-input multi-output (SU-MIMO). If the BF training type FIELD indicates that a BFT of the SU-MIMO is to be implemented, the responder transmits to the initiator a second feedback frame based on the result of the TXSS and including a signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a sector identifier (ID) order. The initiator implements the BFT of the SU-MIMO between the initiator and the responder on the basis of the SNR and the sector ID order.

Abstract

An encoder includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry, in operation, selects an encoding mode from among candidates including a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR) encoding mode and a partition encoding mode. When the DMVR encoding mode is selected, the circuitry: obtains a first motion vector for a first image block; derives a second motion vector from the first motion vector using motion search; and generates a prediction image for the first image block using the second motion vector. When the partition encoding mode is selected, the circuitry: determines a plurality of partitions in a second image block; obtains a third motion vector for each partition; and generates a prediction image for the second image block using the third motion vector, without deriving a fourth motion vector from the third motion vector using motion search.

Abstract

An encoder determines, based on a width and a height of a block, whether or not to disable a prediction mode in which the block is split along a partitioning line defined by a distance and an angle and then prediction is performed; and encodes the block with the prediction mode disabled or not disabled according to a result of the determination on whether or not to disable the prediction mode. Here, the distance is the shortest distance between the center of the block and the partitioning line, and the angle is an angle representing a direction from the center of the block toward the partitioning line in the shortest distance. The encoder determines to disable the prediction mode when (i) a width-to-height ratio is at least 8 or (ii) a height-to-width ratio is at least 8.

Abstract

An encoder includes circuitry and a memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in operation, determines whether or not a ternary split process of splitting a block into three sub blocks in a first direction parallel to a first longer side of the block is allowed by comparing a size of a second shorter side of the block to a minimum threshold value. The circuitry, responsive to the ternary split process being allowed, writes, into a bitstream, a split direction parameter indicative of a splitting direction. The circuitry, in operation, splits the block into a plurality of sub blocks in a direction indicated by the split direction parameter; and encodes the plurality of sub blocks. The minimum threshold value corresponds to a minimum size supported in a transform process.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to enabling and disabling of codewords in multi-subframe grants. In particular, dynamic and subframe based enabling/disabling of codewords is enabled even if other control parameters including the resource allocation is performed for multiple subframes. For instance, signal from a scheduling entity to a scheduled entity comprises control information including the resource grant common for multiple subframes and a plurality of codewords for each subframe, and a codeword indication indicating enabling or disabling of one or more codewords for each of the multiple subframes. For each subframe it is determined whether a codeword from the plurality of codewords in said subframes is enabled or disabled according to the codeword indication and/or which codeword is enabled or disabled. The indication of enabling and disabling may alternatively be done by using modulation and coding scheme indicator values which are not associated with a particular modulation and coding scheme.

Abstract

A decoder comprises circuitry and memory. The circuitry, using the memory, in operation, determines a number of first pixels and a number of second pixels used in a deblocking filter process, wherein the first pixels are located at an upper side of a block boundary and the second pixels are located at a lower side of the block boundary, and performs the deblocking filter process on the block boundary. The number of the first pixels and the number of the second pixels are selected from among candidates, wherein the candidates include at least 4 and M larger than 4. Response to a location of the block boundary being a predetermined location, the number of the first pixels used in the deblocking filter process is limited to be 4.

Abstract

An anomaly detection system includes: a register value collector that collects register values of register numbers from a controller; a future state predictor that predicts a future state of the control system; a blacklist creator that creates a blacklist based on a prediction result; an anomaly determiner that determines whether the control system enters an anomalous state by checking the collected register values against the blacklist; and an outputter that outputs a determination result. The blacklist creator defines, as the blacklist: a predicted register number that is predicted, if a register value of the predicted register number is changed, to cause the control system to enter the anomalous state in the future; and a range of the register value within which the control system is predicted to enter the anomalous state, and dynamically creates the blacklist corresponding to a combination of the collected register values.
