Generating a new scan order includes incrementing a next index value after assigning the next index value to a coefficient in the new scan order; assigning, to a first coefficient at a first scan index m in the original scan order, a first scan index in the new scan order, the first coefficient is a context coefficient for entropy coding a parent coefficient that is at a parent scan index n in the original scan order; adding, to a list, a first item indicative of the parent coefficient and parent scan index n; before assigning a second scan index to a second coefficient that is at a second index m+j in the original scan order, wherein j>1, assigning the next index value to the parent coefficient, and removing the first item from the list; and assigning the next index value to the second coefficient in the new scan order.

Methods, systems, and bitstream syntax are described for the entropy modeling of latent features in image and video coding using a combination of probability density functions. Using high-level syntax elements, an encoder may signal to compliant decoders the multi-distribution entropy model using: the number of one or more PDFs being used, an identifier of each PDF being used among a list of available PDFs, the number of PDF parameters in each PDF, and syntax elements indicating which PDF parameters across two or more PDFs being used are being shared.

A display apparatus uses a LED array having a LED pixel pitch, having LED pixels emitting light with viewing angles . A transmissive diffuser panel is mounted with the LED array, having a directly lit, non-planar diffuser panel surface spaced away from the LED array by at least distance D. The distance D and the viewing angles being are effective to merge illumination from multiple LED pixels in the LED array on the directly lit diffuser panel surface. A controller is connected to the LED array having circuitry to control the LED array in response to image data to induce display via the diffuser panel of a time varying image with spatially varying colors and intensities.

Disclosed herein are a screen golf system and a method of realizing an image for screen golf that are capable of outputting an image to a floor screen using an image output device that has a resolution different from the resolution of an image output device that outputs an image to a front screen, in a user golf play space, and of realizing the image output to the front screen and the image output to the floor screen as a single image in order to solve a problem whereby it is impossible to output images to the front screen and to the floor screen using a single image output device.

Subtitle display during variable speed reproduction processing is made to be able to be satisfactorily performed. A video stream is generated configured by a video packet having encoded image data in a payload. A subtitle stream is generated configured by a subtitle packet that has subtitle information in a payload and in which subtitle display priority information according to the subtitle information is inserted. A multiplexed stream including the video stream and the subtitle stream is generated and transmitted. In a case where an overlap period occurs in display periods of a plurality of subtitles in a variable speed reproduction mode (in a case of N times speed (N>1)), selection of which subtitle to be displayed is facilitated by referring to the priority information, and satisfactory subtitle display reflecting an intention of the production side becomes possible.

A method for coding a transform block of coefficients includes generating a new scan order from the original scan order such that a maximum scan distance of the new scan order is smaller than or equal to a predetermined distance, and coding the coefficients based on the new scan order. An apparatus for decoding a transform block of coefficients. The apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory includes instructions executable by the processor to identify an original scan order for encoding the coefficients, generate a new scan order from the original scan order such that a maximum scan distance of the new scan order is less than or equal to a predetermined distance, and decode, from an encoded bitstream, the coefficients based on the new scan order.
