APPLYING AN OVERLAY PROCESS TO A PICTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240292003 titled 'APPLYING AN OVERLAY PROCESS TO A PICTURE

The abstract describes a method for applying an overlay process to a picture in a bitstream. This method involves decoding overlay process parameters and picture partitioning parameters from the bitstream to specify the overlay process and segment area of the picture, respectively. The picture is then decoded, applying the overlay process to the specified segment area.

• Decoding overlay process parameters and picture partitioning parameters from a bitstream
• Applying the overlay process to a specific segment area of the picture
• Decoding the picture with the overlay process parameters to enhance the segment area

Potential Applications: - Image and video processing - Augmented reality applications - Digital signage and advertising

Problems Solved: - Enhancing specific areas of a picture with overlay processes - Improving visual quality and detail in targeted segments

Benefits: - Enhanced visual effects in specific areas of images or videos - Customizable overlay processes for different applications - Improved image quality and detail in selected segments

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Processing Technology for Enhanced Visual Effects This technology can be used in industries such as: - Entertainment (film, TV, gaming) - Advertising and marketing - Surveillance and security systems

Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior art related to image processing, video encoding, and overlay techniques to understand the evolution of this technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image processing algorithms, video compression techniques, and augmented reality applications to enhance the overlay process method.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the overlay process improve the visual quality of specific picture segments? 2. What are the potential limitations of applying overlay processes to pictures in a bitstream?

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for applying an overlay process to a picture in a bitstream. in one embodiment the method includes decoding a first set of one or more overlay process parameters from syntax elements in the bitstream, the first set of one or more overlay process parameters specifying a first overlay process. the method also includes decoding a first set of one or more picture partitioning parameters from syntax elements in the bitstream, the first set of one or more picture partitioning parameters specifying a first segment area of the picture, wherein a boundary of the first segment area of the picture is not fully aligned with a boundary of the picture or a boundary of any subpictures of the picture or a boundary of any slices in the picture. the method further includes decoding the picture, wherein decoding the picture comprises applying the first overlay process on the first segment area of the picture using the first set of one or more overlay process parameters.
