Patent GB-2577338-A (GB)
Title: Data encoding and decoding
Inventor: KARL JAMES SHARMAN
IPC: H04N19/46
Filed: 2018-09-24
Abstract: Image encoding or decoding comprising predicting chrominance samples 1440 from reconstructed or decoded luminance samples by applying a chrominance model function 1430 to the decoded luminance samples, wherein the chrominance model function is defined at least partially by model data 1420. The model data may be a gradient (α) and an intercept (β) of a linear regression model 1500, and in the encoding aspects of invention the model data is from input luminance samples and input chrominance samples 1510, which may be the original luminance and chrominance samples. The decoder may not be able to generate model data because it does not have access to the original samples; therefore in the decoding aspects of invention the model data is associated with an encoded data stream; for example, the model data may be transmitted to the decoder via the bitstream. The video coding method also uses luminance and chrominance residual data representing a difference between input luminance and chrominance samples for a current image region and the respective predicted samples. The reconstructed/decoded luminance samples are generated by combining the residual data with the predicted luminance samples.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention use radar technology to detect features or conditions in a well. A radar unit having an electronics subsystem and an antenna subsystem is positioned downhole in the well. The radar unit is coupled receive power from and communicate with to a surface system. The electronics subsystem generates RF signals which are provided to the antenna subsystem, generating radar wavefronts that are propagated toward areas of interest (e.g., farther downhole). The radar wavefronts may be electronically or mechanically steered in the desired direction. The antenna subsystem receives radar signals that are reflected back to the unit by features or conditions in the well. The received reflected signals are converted to electronic signals that are interpreted by the electronics subsystem of the radar unit or by the surface system to identify the features or conditions that caused the reflections.
