Abstract: System and methods for improved playback of a video stream are presented. Video snippets are identified that include a number of consecutive frames for playback. Snippets may be evenly temporally spaced in the video stream or may be content adaptive. Then the first frame of a snippet may be selected as the first frame of a scene or other appropriate stopping point. Scene detection, object detection, motion detection, video metadata, or other information generated during encoding or decoding of the video stream may aid in appropriate snippet selection.

Abstract: Video coding systems and methods protect against banding artifacts in decoded image content. According to the method, a video coder may identify, from content of pixel blocks of a frame of video data, which pixel blocks are likely to exhibit banding artifacts from the video coding/decoding processes. The video coder may assemble regions of the frame that are likely to exhibit banding artifacts based on the identified pixel blocks' locations with respect to each other. The video coder may apply anti-banding processing to pixel blocks within one or more of the identified regions and, thereafter, may code the processed frame by a compression operation.

Abstract: A system may include a detector, a controller, and an encoder. The detector may receive data from video input to detect a group of pixels in a video sequence, and may determine whether the group of pixels needs additional bits for encoding. The controller may determine the number of bits for the additional bits and may allocate the additional bits with the number of bits in a data stream. The encoder may by controlled by the controller to encode the group of pixels with the additional bits, and output to the encoded output.
