Abstract: Reference frame detection using sensor metadata, including: storing a plurality of first frames each corresponding to first metadata, wherein the first metadata for each first frame of the plurality of first frames is based on first sensor data from one or more sensors; generating a second frame corresponding to second metadata based on the one or more sensors; identifying, based on the first metadata of the plurality of first frames and the second metadata, a reference frame of the plurality of first frames; and encoding the second frame based on the reference frame.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing latency when consuming an encoded video bitstream in real-time are disclosed. A video encoder encodes a video bitstream and writes chunks of the encoded bitstream to a bitstream buffer. Prior to the encoder completing the encoding of an entire frame, or an entire slice of a frame, a consumer module consumes encoded chunks of the bitstream. In one implementation, to enable pipelining of the consumption with the encoding, the encoder updates a buffer write pointer with an indication of the amount of data that has been written to the bitstream buffer. The consumer module retrieves encoded data from the bitstream buffer up to the location indicated by the buffer write pointer. In this way, the consumer module is able to access and consume encoded video data prior to the encoder finishing encoding an entire frame or an entire slice of the frame.
