Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Video analytics may be used to assist video encoding by selectively encoding only portions of a frame and using, instead, previously encoded portions. Previously encoded portions may be used when succeeding frames have a level of motion less than a threshold. In such case, all or part of succeeding frames may not be encoded, increasing bandwidth and speed in some embodiments.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: analyzing a frame using video analytics to identify a portion of the frame having motion below a threshold; encoding the rest of the frame without encoding said portion; and for said unencoded portion, reusing encoding for a corresponding portion from a previous frame. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein using video analytics includes using at least one of erosion, dilation, or convolution. 3.…
