VIDEO ENCODING USING DEVIATION-ADJUSTED BITRATE PARAMETER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17829118 titled 'VIDEO ENCODING USING DEVIATION-ADJUSTED BITRATE PARAMETER

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes techniques for encoding digital video files for streaming applications. - The data associated with the video file is analyzed to determine its center (average) and spread (deviation) in terms of bitrate over the duration of the video file. - A deviation-adjusted bitrate is calculated based on the measure of center and spread. - This deviation-adjusted bitrate can be applied to the entire video file or specific segments of the file, such as units of video streaming. - The disclosed techniques offer advantages such as using a lower bitrate for lower-complexity video or using a higher bitrate for higher-complexity video. - The goal is to optimize the encoding process and improve the streaming experience for viewers.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques and solutions are described for encoding digital video files, such as for streaming applications. Data associated with the digital video file forms a dataset that can be characterized by a measure of the dataset's center, such as an average, and a spread of the dataset, such as a deviation, with respective to a bitrate over a duration of the digital video file. The measure of center and spread are used to calculate a deviation-adjusted bitrate. A deviation adjusted bitrate can be calculated for the entire digital video file, or for particular subsets of the digital video file, such as for segments of a duration forming units of video streaming Disclosed techniques can provide various advantages, including using a reduced bitrate for video or video portions as compared with an average or static bitrate, for lower-complexity video, or using a higher bitrate for video or video portions for higher-complexity video.
