VIDEO COMPRESSION APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND VIDEO COMPRESSION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18594276 titled 'VIDEO COMPRESSION APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND VIDEO COMPRESSION PROGRAM
The patent application describes a video compression apparatus that can compress video data acquired from an imaging element with different frame rates for different imaging regions.
- Acquisition unit acquires video data with multiple frames from an imaging element with two imaging regions and different frame rate settings.
- First imaging region captures images of a subject with a lower frame rate, while the second imaging region captures images with a higher frame rate.
- Compression unit compresses the video data based on the frame rates set for each imaging region.
Potential Applications: - Video surveillance systems - Live streaming platforms - Video conferencing technology
Problems Solved: - Efficient compression of video data with varying frame rates - Improved storage and transmission of high-quality video footage
Benefits: - Enhanced video quality for fast-moving subjects - Optimal use of storage and bandwidth resources - Customizable frame rates for different imaging regions
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Video Compression Technology for Enhanced Surveillance Systems This technology can be utilized in security cameras, video conferencing systems, and live streaming services to improve video quality and optimize storage and bandwidth usage.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between the frame rates for the two imaging regions?
- The apparatus is configured to set different frame rates for each imaging region based on the requirements of the application.
2. What impact does the compression unit have on the overall video quality?
- The compression unit aims to maintain high video quality while reducing file size for efficient storage and transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
A video compression apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire video data including a plurality of frames outputted from an imaging element that has a first imaging region to image a subject and a second imaging region to image a subject and for which a first frame rate can be set for the first imaging region and a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate can be set for the second imaging region; and a compression unit configured to compress the video data acquired by the acquisition unit based on the first frame rate and the second frame rate.
