Systems and methods are disclosed to mitigate stalling of streaming content due to rebuffering so that, e.g., the content consumer does not experience gaps in playback. In some embodiments, by buffering streaming content simultaneously at two bitrate levels—e.g., one of the lowest bitrates and a better-quality bitrate, within the bandwidth limitations—rebuffering-caused gaps in playback of a higher quality (HQ) stream may be filled with a lower quality (LQ) stream. For instance, client-side dual buffers may store n segments from the HQ stream during a given time and a multiple of n number of segments from the LQ stream, thus allowing for many of the LQ segments to be output if the HQ stream is rebuffering. If a segment of content is beginning to be played back as an LQ segment, there is no reason to buffer the same segment from the HQ stream. Moreover, after a segment of content is played back (or decoded) as either HQ or LQ, the corresponding HQ segment and/or LQ segment may be discarded from the dual buffer, e.g., to create buffer space for upcoming segments.

The abstracted content can thereafter be communicated to a remote server—such as a server hosting an extensively trained machine learning model. Intelligent output provided by the server can then be incorporated into one or more processes of the third party application without comprising security.

This invention presents a system and method to acquire object measurements with and optical device and axial scanning mechanism, and to subsequently implement a digital processing algorithm to establish a match between similar object measurements acquired in the past. The digital processing algorithm consists of a probe-and-match strategy. It is generally challenging to determine whether or not an object, such as a work of art (e.g., a painting, drawing, sculpture, or collectable item), is the exact same object as something viewed previously with an extremely high degree of confidence. There is the potential for one object to look very similar to another object, but not be the same (i.e., to be a forgery). There is also the potential for one object to be the same object as viewed previously, but have changed significantly over time (e.g., aged or damaged). Being able to distinguish between these two cases is a difficult yet important task. This invention aims to address the challenge of identifying object uniqueness by considering it as a matching problem between optical measurements, wherein multiple acquired measurements from many objects must be sifted through to establish how similar they are, if at all, to any new measurements.
