==METHOD FOR GENERATING VIDEO- AND AUDIENCE-SPECIFIC ENCODING LADDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015302 titled 'METHOD FOR GENERATING VIDEO- AND AUDIENCE-SPECIFIC ENCODING LADDERS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for optimizing video encoding based on the properties of a video segment and the distribution of audience bandwidths. Here are the key points:

* Extracting a set of video features that represent properties of a video segment.
* Generating a set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the video features. Each pair defines a bitrate and a resolution that maximizes the quality score of the encoded video segment.
* Accessing a distribution of audience bandwidths.
* Selecting a top bitrate-resolution pair that represents the highest quality option.
* Selecting a bottom bitrate-resolution pair that represents the lowest quality option.
* Selecting a subset of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the distribution of audience bandwidths. This subset includes bitrates lower than the top bitrate and higher than the bottom bitrate.
* Generating an encoding ladder for the video segment, which includes the top bitrate-resolution pair, the bottom bitrate-resolution pair, and the subset of bitrate-resolution pairs.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Video streaming platforms can use this method to optimize video quality based on the available bandwidth of the audience.
* Content creators can ensure their videos are encoded at the optimal quality for different bandwidth conditions.
* Video conferencing systems can dynamically adjust the video quality based on the network conditions of the participants.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Ensures that video encoding is optimized for different bandwidth conditions, providing the best possible quality to viewers.
* Eliminates the need for manual adjustment of video encoding settings based on audience bandwidth.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved video quality for viewers, as the encoding is optimized based on the available bandwidth.
* Efficient use of network resources, as the encoding ladder includes a range of bitrates that cater to different bandwidth conditions.
* Simplifies the video encoding process for content creators and streaming platforms.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a method including: extracting a set of video features representing properties of a video segment; generating a set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the set of video features, each bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs defining a bitrate and defining a resolution estimated to maximize a quality score characterizing the video segment encoded at the bitrate; accessing a distribution of audience bandwidths; selecting a top bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs; selecting a bottom bitrate-resolution pair in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs; selecting a subset of bitrate-resolution pairs in the set of bitrate-resolution pairs based on the distribution of audience bandwidths, the subset of bitrate-resolution pairs defining bitrates less than the top bitrate and greater than the bottom bitrate; and generating an encoding ladder for the video segment comprising the top bitrate-resolution pair, the bottom bitrate-resolution pair, and the subset of bitrate-resolution pairs.
