Title: Method of installing an in-line structure in a pipeline
Inventor: MARTIN CHALMERS
IPC: F16L1/20
Filed: 2016-09-16
Abstract: An In-Line Structure (ILS) 37 is installed to a fluid-filled pipeline extending from a reel, over an aligner 22, and through a lay-tower during offshore reeling. The pipeline has an oblique part 24 from the reel to the aligner, and a vertical part from the aligner 22 through the lay-tower. To install the ILS 37, fluid 32 is drained from the vertical part of the pipeline to create a drained portion 34 up to and around the aligner 22. The pipeline is cut at or near the draining location to create upper 36 and lower 38 open ends of the pipeline. A pig is installed into the upper open end 36 and moved through the pipeline to reach the fluid filled part 24 of the pipeline. More fluid 32 is then added to reverse the movement of the pig to refill the drained portion 34. The ILS 37 is then installed to at least the upper open end 36. The fluid 32 can be pressurised, with the pressure being relieved prior draining the fluid 32. A vent hose can be added to the pig to create a relative vacuum in the drained portion to move the pig through the pipeline.

Title: An apparatus, a method and a computer program for video coding and decoding
Inventor: PAYMAN AFLAKI BENI
IPC: G06V30/146
Filed: 2017-05-16
Abstract: A method of encoding/decoding, comprising: determining a 3D volumetric representation of a scene, using a plurality of voxels acquired from a first multicamera device (MCD) 400; determining a first set of voxels representing a first volume of interest (VOI) 402, based on a users probable interest within a scene; sub-sampling voxels of the scene residing outside said first VOI 404. There may be a second MCD, the viewing directions of both MCD may be determined, and an intersection point of the viewing directions may be determined. Determining a parameter indicating the viewers probable interest may be based on: an amount of high frequency components in regions of the 3D image of the scene; motion detection with the scene; depth information of the scene. Sub-sampling may comprise selecting a downsampled child node of a voxel to be subsampled from the voxel octree. Crux of invention: the further from the VOI, the less important the features within the 3D image. Sub-sampling (i.e. down-sampling) is used to reduce the number of voxels needed, thus higher resolution nodes are culled, creating regions of coarser resolution. This means that there is less data to encode and transmit.
