DEVICE-ADAPTIVE SUPER-RESOLUTION BASED APPROACH TO ADAPTIVE STREAMING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240420283 titled 'DEVICE-ADAPTIVE SUPER-RESOLUTION BASED APPROACH TO ADAPTIVE STREAMING

Original Abstract Submitted

a mobile device capable of device-adaptive super-resolution based adaptive streaming may include a super-resolution-based adaptive bitrate (sr-based abr) application configured to receive an input and determine a quality of a representation of a video to request based on the input, the sr-based abr application being able to compute a cost of requesting the quality of representation based on a cost function. the mobile device may apply an sr network to the representation of the video to upscale the representation of the video to a desired resolution. the mobile device also may include a display configured to play back a segment of the video. a method for sr-based adaptive streaming may include receiving an input, determining whether to request a lower resolution representation of a video segment based on the input, and applying an sr network to the lower resolution representation to upscale it to a desired resolution.
