Abstract:
A method of depth map coding for a three-dimensional video coding system incorporating consistent texture merging candidate is disclosed. According to the first embodiment, the current depth block will only inherit the motion information of the collocated texture block if one reference depth picture has the same POC (picture order count) and ViewId (view identifier) as the reference texture picture of the collocated texture block. In another embodiment, the encoder assigns the same total number of reference pictures for both the depth component and the collocated texture component for each reference list. Furthermore, the POC (picture order count) and the ViewId (view identifier) for both the depth image unit and the texture image unit are assigned to be the same for each reference list and for each reference picture.
Abstract:
A method and a device for processing geological information is disclosed. The method for processing the geological information includes acquiring multiple geological image graphs, determining the relation between the image coordinate and the ground coordinate of each of the multiple geological image graphs by an imaging mode of geological images, and joining the multiple geological image graphs together according to the relation between the image coordinate and the ground coordinate of each of the multiple geological image graphs. Accordingly, large-scale ground images can be acquired by processing the geological images.
Abstract:
A method of illumination compensation for three-dimensional or multi-view encoding and decoding. The method incorporates an illumination compensation flag only if the illumination compensation is enabled and the current coding unit is processed by one 2N×2N prediction unit. The illumination compensation is applied to the current coding unit according to the illumination compensation flag. The illumination compensation flag is incorporated when the current coding unit is coded in Merge mode without checking whether a current reference picture is an inter-view reference picture.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding depth lookup table (DLT) using a constrained table value range are disclosed. For a decoder, a constrained table value range from a minimum table value to a maximum table value of the DLT is decoded from the coded DLT information. Bit map values for depth values in a depth range from (the minimum table value+1) to (the maximum table value−1) are then decoded. The bit map values indicate whether the depth values are in the DLT respectively. The DLT for the current depth map can be reconstructed based on the constrained table value range and the bit map values for the depth values in the depth range. For an encoder, a constrained table value range from a minimum table value to a maximum table value of the DLT is determined and encoded the DLT into coded DLT information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for three-dimensional and multi-view video coding are disclosed, where the motion vector (MV) or disparity vector (DV) candidate list construction process for a block depends on whether the target reference picture corresponds to an inter-view reference picture or whether the inter-view candidate refers to an inter-view reference picture. In one embodiment, an MV or DV candidate list for a block coded in Merge mode is constructed, and an inter-view candidate in the MV or DV candidate list is set lower than the first candidate position if the inter-view candidate refers to an inter-view reference picture. In another embodiment, an MV or DV candidate list for a block coded in advanced motion vector prediction mode is constructed, and an inter-view candidate is set lower than the first candidate position if the inter-view candidate refers to an inter-view reference picture.
Abstract:
Dental implants made at least in part of a porous tantalum material for enhancing the osseointegration of the dental implant into surrounding bone. For example, there is provided a dental implant which includes a porous tantalum portion and an outer portion having a color generally replicating the color of natural teeth. The dental implant further comprises a core portion and the porous tantalum portion at least partially surrounds the core portion. An esthetic portion is disposed at least the outer portion and the porous tantalum portion is disposed for at least partially reinforcing the esthetic portion. After implantation of the implant, bone tissue may osseointegrate into the porous tantalum portion to anchor the implant in position within the surrounding bone. Other embodiments of implants are provided, each implant including at least a portion thereof formed of porous tantalum for improved osseointegration.

Abstract:
A method for acquiring a start page can include acquiring the previous start page parameter corresponding to the previous start page and the current start page parameter corresponding to the current start page of a client side. The method can also include comparing the previous start page parameter with the current start page parameter. If the previous start page parameter is different from the current start page parameter, changed content of the current start page as compared against the previous start page can be sent to the client side so that the client side updates the previous start page according to the changed content to acquire the current start page. According to the present invention, downloads of the client side is reduced, and traffic is saved from the client side.
