6 results about "Variable bitrate" patented technology

Variable bitrate (VBR) is a term used in telecommunications and computing that relates to the bitrate used in sound or video encoding. As opposed to constant bitrate (CBR), VBR files vary the amount of output data per time segment. VBR allows a higher bitrate (and therefore more storage space) to be allocated to the more complex segments of media files while less space is allocated to less complex segments. The average of these rates can be calculated to produce an average bitrate for the file.

A satellite image compression method under extremely low bandwidth conditions

This invention discloses a satellite image compression method under extremely low bandwidth conditions. The steps are as follows: collect a static image dataset; establish a variable bitrate image encoding / decoding network; train the encoding / decoding network; embed a generative adversarial network (GAN) at the decoder and retrain it; embed a super-resolution network after the encoder / decoder and retrain it; the user selects a region of interest (ROI), and the selected region is compressed; the decoder restores the bitstream to an image and displays it; the unselected regions are compressed; when bandwidth is sufficient, the unselected regions are transmitted, and the decoder stitches the images together; super-resolution processing is performed. This image transmission method, under extremely low bandwidth constraints, provides a superior subjective reconstruction effect compared to traditional image coding methods such as JPEG and deep learning-based image coding methods in a large number of test images.

A neural video compression method and system based on visual saliency

This invention relates to a neural video compression method and system based on visual saliency, belonging to the field of computer vision technology. Addressing the problems of existing end-to-end neural video compression methods, such as uniform bitrate allocation across regions within a frame and neglect of differences in human visual perception, this invention deeply integrates a lightweight visual saliency detection network with an end-to-end video compression framework. The method includes: using a saliency detection network with MobileNetV2 as its backbone to extract multi-scale features from video frames, generating a saliency probability map, which is then concatenated with the original video frames and input into a variable bitrate conditional video encoding / decoding framework; adaptively allocating the encoding precision of each region based on the saliency probability map, allowing salient regions to receive more bitrate; and employing an adaptive mask prior entropy model for checkerboard-style step-by-step entropy encoding, combined with spatial and channel-dimensional adaptive quantization to improve encoding efficiency. The system includes a saliency detection module, a variable bitrate conditional video encoding / decoding framework module, and an adaptive mask prior entropy model module, which work together to form an end-to-end optimized video compression system. Experimental results show that, at the same bitrate, the present invention can improve human visual image quality (EW-PSNR) by about 2 dB and save about 50% bitrate at the same quality.
