1Productivity
If quantization matrices are used to improve compression efficiency and video quality, then compression efficiency is improved, but blurring and sudden quality changes occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic quantization matrix selection by training multiple quantization matrices offline and selecting the optimal one for each frame based on machine learning-based quality assessment. This allows the system to adaptively adjust quantization parameters frame-by-frame, improving compression efficiency while maintaining stable video quality without blurring or sudden quality changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter selection approach by using machine learning to predict optimal quantization matrices based on frame characteristics. Instead of using fixed or simple adaptive quantization matrices, the system evaluates multiple candidate matrices and selects the one that optimizes both compression efficiency and visual quality, preventing quality degradation and blurring.
2Reliability
If machine learning-based adaptive quantization matrix selection is implemented, then video quality is improved, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs offline training of multiple quantization matrices before runtime. During actual video encoding, the system only needs to evaluate and select from pre-trained matrices using lightweight machine learning models, significantly reducing online computational complexity while maintaining high video quality through adaptive selection.
