Video Encoder Profile-Based Bit Allocation for Logo Regions

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining profiles containing metadata about static graphical elements (logos) before the encoding process. These profiles include information about logo presence, location, and characteristics, allowing the encoder to allocate bits effectively without performing computationally expensive automated detection during encoding. This resolves the contradiction by preparing graphical element information in advance, eliminating the need for resource-intensive real-time detection while maintaining high image quality in logo regions.

The patent applies local quality by allocating encoding resources non-uniformly across different regions of the video frame. Specifically, the encoder identifies regions containing graphical elements using pre-defined profiles and allocates a greater percentage of bits to these specific regions while maintaining standard allocation for other areas. This resolves the contradiction by concentrating bit budget on critical regions (logos) that require higher quality, thereby improving local image quality without excessively compromising overall encoding efficiency.

The patent applies feedback by implementing a confidence level assessment mechanism that evaluates the accuracy of selected profiles. The system assigns confidence levels to profiles based on how well they match the actual video content, and uses this feedback to refine profile selection and improve bit allocation accuracy over time. This resolves the contradiction by introducing a self-correcting mechanism that manages system complexity through adaptive learning, allowing the encoder to become more accurate in profile selection without linearly increasing system complexity.
