METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE STABILIZATION-BASED ENCODER OPTIMIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17529100 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE STABILIZATION-BASED ENCODER OPTIMIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and systems for optimizing video encoding using non-destructive, stabilization-based techniques. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The invention identifies a video item to be provided to users and detects motion between frames of the video sequence.
  • It applies motion stabilization transformations to modify the motion between frames.
  • After applying the transformations, the video item is encoded.
  • The encoded video item and instructions to reverse the applied transformations are transmitted to a client device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Video streaming platforms can use this technology to improve the quality of videos by stabilizing motion and reducing shakiness.
  • Video editing software can benefit from this technology to enhance the stability of recorded footage.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality applications can utilize this technology to provide smoother and more immersive experiences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional video encoding methods may not effectively handle motion in videos, resulting in lower quality and less enjoyable viewing experiences.
  • Shaky or unstable videos can be distracting and reduce the overall quality of the content.
  • Existing stabilization techniques may introduce artifacts or distortions in the video.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved video quality by reducing motion-related issues such as shakiness or blurriness.
  • Enhanced user experience by providing smoother and more stable videos.
  • Non-destructive approach allows for reversibility of the applied stabilization transformations, preserving the original video content.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems for non-destructive, stabilization-based encoder optimization. A video item to be provided to one or more users of a platform is identified. An indication of a motion is identified between an initial video frame of a video sequence associated with the video item and a subsequent video frame of the video sequence. One or more motion stabilization transformations are applied to the video item to modify the motion between at least the initial frame and the subsequent frame. Upon applying the one or more motion stabilization transformations to the video item, the video item is encoded. The encoded video item and one or more instructions to cause the client device to reverse the one or more motion stabilization transformations applied to the video item after decoding the encoded video item are transmitted to a client device connected to the platform.
