METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING BASED ON IMPORTANCE VALUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18305175 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING BASED ON IMPORTANCE VALUES

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application is about methods and apparatuses for encoding based on importance values. - The embodiment described in the application includes a computing system with a graphics processing unit (GPU) and an encoder. - The GPU is used to render a scene of a graphics application, which consists of multiple geometries, into a color buffer within a frame buffer of the GPU. - The encoder then takes the content of the color buffer and encodes it into a video bitstream. - The encoding process is based on a set of importance values that are assigned to each of the geometries in the scene. - The importance values determine the level of detail and priority given to each geometry during the encoding process. - By assigning importance values, the encoding can be optimized to allocate more resources to important geometries and reduce resources for less important ones. - This approach can improve the efficiency and quality of video encoding for graphics applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments are generally directed to methods and apparatuses for encoding based on importance values. An embodiment of a computing system comprises: a graphics processing unit (GPU) to render a scene of a graphics application that includes a plurality of geometries into a color buffer within a frame buffer of the GPU; and an encoder to encode the content of the color buffer into a video bitstream based on a plurality of importance values that are assigned to each of the plurality of geometries.
