Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines a scaled motion vector for a first block. A motion vector for a second block is determined where the motion vector is on a non-uniform motion vector grid. The method then maps the motion vector for the second block to a higher accuracy uniform motion vector grid that is of a higher accuracy than the non-uniform motion vector grid and scales the motion vector for the second block on the higher accuracy motion vector grid. The scaled motion vector is mapped on the higher accuracy motion vector grid to the non-uniform motion vector grid. The scaled motion vector on the non-uniform motion vector grid is associated with the first block for a temporal prediction process.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the automated testing of a system that includes software or hardware components. In some embodiments, a testing framework generates a set of test cases for a system under test using a grammar. Each test case may perform an action, such as provide an input to the system under test, and result in an output from the system under test. The inputs and outputs are then compared to the expected results to determine whether the system under test is performing correctly. The data can then be interpreted in the grammar system or used as input to a fault isolation engine to determine anomalies in the system under test. Based on identified faults, one or more mitigation techniques may be implemented in an automated fashion.
