In layered Visual Dynamic range (VDR) coding, inter-layer prediction requires several color-format transformations between the input VDR and Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) signals. Coding and decoding architectures are presented wherein inter-layer prediction is performed in the SDR-based color format, thus reducing computational complexity in both the encoder and the decoder, without compromising coding efficiency or coding quality.

The present techniques are directed to a multiphase separation system. The system includes a liquid-liquid separator configured to receive a separated liquid that is further separated into a separated oil and a separated water within the liquid-liquid separator (126). An oil pump (136) and a water pump (138), both with adjustable speeds, are configured to pump the separated oil and the separated water, respectively, from the liquid-liquid separator (126). An interface level (140) in the liquid-liquid separator (126) is regulated by adjusting the speed of the oil pump (136) and the speed of the water pump (138).

A method includes generating a ranking model and a baseline mixing weight for each latent user category from a plurality of latent user categories based on a community preference dataset and one or more latent variables that relate the users from the community of users to the latent user categories. The method also includes generating a personalized mixing weight for each latent user category for a specified user based on an individual preference dataset, the ranking models for the latent user category, and one or more latent variables that relate the specified user to the latent user categories. The method also includes adjusting the personalized mixing weight for each latent user category for the specified user based on the baseline mixing weights, and generating ranking output for at least some objects from the plurality of objects using the personalized mixing weights and the ranking models.
摘要:
Enhancing image dynamic range is described. An input video signal that is represented in a first color space with a first color gamut, which is related to a first dynamic range, is converted to a video signal that is represented in a second color space with a second color gamut. The second color space is associated with a second dynamic range. At least two (e.g., three) color-related components of the converted video signal are mapped over the second dynamic range.
摘要:
It is disclosed a method for preparing polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers by continuous polymerization and acetalation reactions. The method may include two steps: performing a polymerization reaction of an aqueous formaldehyde solution under catalysis of an ionic liquid IL I to obtain a mixed aqueous solution of trioxymethylene and formaldehyde; and an acetalation reaction of the mixed aqueous solution of trioxymethylene and formaldehyde with methanol is performed under catalysis of an ionic liquid IL II to prepare polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers. The method may use an aqueous formaldehyde solution as a starting material to prepare polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers by continuous polymerization and acetalation reactions, achieving a high use ratio of formaldehyde. A film evaporator is used in the invention, realizing a rapid separation and recycling of the light components, with a high separation efficiency. The separation of the catalyst is simple, thereby realizing recycling of the catalyst.
