In-loop filters have been comprehensively explored during the development of video coding standards due to their remarkable noise-reduction capability. In the early stage of video coding, in-loop filters, such as Deblocking Filter, Sample Adaptive Offset, and Adaptive Loop Filter, were performed separately for each component. Recently, cross-component filters were studied to improve the chroma fidelity by exploiting correlations between the luma and chroma channels. This paper summarizes the cross-component filters used in the state-of-the-art video coding standard. Specifically, it includes the Cross-Component Adaptive Loop Filter and Cross-Component Sample Adaptive Offset. Cross-component filters aim to reduce compression artifacts based on the correlation between different components and provide more accurate pixel reconstruction values. In this paper, we introduce the origin, development, and status of cross-component filters in the current video coding standards. Finally, we had some discussions on the further evolutions of cross-component filters.
In production processes for consumer products, assembly instructions are essential not only for planning but also for executing the production process. Likewise in robotics, it is crucial for an assembly robot to understand how components fit together and can be assembled. To fac…
Collision anticipation in autonomous driving requires not only accurate early warnings but also interpretable reasoning about what risk factors are being tracked and how risk evolves over time. Existing methods fall short in this regard: feature-driven models are opaque, post-hoc…
Multimodal chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning integrates visual and textual cues through step-by-step inference. In small models with limited token budgets, modality-interaction fusion often suppresses tiny cross-modal differences. In particular, multimodal CoT often struggles when…
MEMEs are widely used on the internet and often carry strong elements of sarcasm or irony. Understanding their hidden meanings typically requires a joint interpretation of text and vision. Existing methods focus on the dual-stream vision-language model to extract the visual and t…
Accurate yet low-latency depth is essential for radar-camera perception in autonomous systems. Cameras provide rich appearance but lack metric scale, whereas automotive radar offers metric range but is sparse and noisy. Many pipelines are multi-stage or depend on auxiliary annota…
Action-conditioned video world models predict future observations from an initial observation and an action signal. In robotics, actions influence future observations through two distinct processes: they are first realized into robot motion by the robot body and controller, and t…
