Abstract:
Methods for organizing media data by automatically segmenting media data into hierarchical layers of scenes are described. The media data may include metadata and content having still image, video or audio data. The metadata may be content-based (e.g., differences between neighboring frames, exposure data, key frame identification data, motion data, or face detection data) or non-content-based (e.g., exposure, focus, location, time) and used to prioritize and/or classify portions of video. The metadata may be generated at the time of image capture or during post-processing. Prioritization information, such as a score for various portions of the image data may be based on the metadata and/or image data. Classification information such as the type or quality of a scene may be determined based on the metadata and/or image data. The classification and prioritization information may be metadata and may be used to organize the media data.
Abstract:
Systems and processes for improved video editing, summarization and navigation based on generation and analysis of metadata are described. The metadata may be content-based (e.g., differences between neighboring frames, exposure data, key frame identification data, motion data, or face detection data) or non-content-based (e.g., exposure, focus, location, time) and used to prioritize and/or classify portions of video. The metadata may be generated at the time of image capture or during post-processing. Prioritization information, such as a score for various portions of the image data may be based on the metadata and/or image data. Classification information such as the type or quality of a scene may be determined based on the metadata and/or image data. The classification and prioritization information may be metadata and may be used to automatically remove undesirable portions of the video, generate suggestions during editing or automatically generate summary video.
Abstract:
An encoding system may include a video source that provides video data to be coded, a video coder, a transmitter, and a controller to manage operation of the system. The controller may control the video coder to code and compress the image information from the video source into video data, based upon one or more motion prediction parameters. The transmitter may transmit the video data. A decoding system may decode the video data based upon the motion prediction parameters.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for estimating quality of images in an automated fashion. According to these techniques, a source image may be downsampled to generate at least two downsampled images at different levels of downsampling. Blurriness of the images may be estimated starting with a most-heavily downsampled image. Blocks of a given image may be evaluated for blurriness and, when a block of a given image is estimated to be blurry, the block of the image and co-located blocks of higher resolution image(s) may be designated as blurry. Thereafter, a blurriness score may be calculated for the source image from the number of blocks of the source image designated as blurry.
Abstract:
A system for processing media on a resource restricted device, the system including a memory to store data representing media assets and associated descriptors, and program instructions representing an application and a media processing system, and a processor to execute the program instructions, wherein the program instructions represent the media processing system, in response to a call from an application defining a plurality of services to be performed on an asset, determine a tiered schedule of processing operations to be performed upon the asset based on a processing budget associated therewith, and iteratively execute the processing operations on a tier-by-tier basis, unless interrupted.
Abstract:
Techniques for cropping images containing an occlusion are presented. A method for image editing is presented comprising, when an occlusion is detected in an original digital image, determining an area occupied by the occlusion, assigning importance scores to different content elements of the original digital image, defining a cropping window around an area of the original digital image that does not include the area occupied by the occlusion and that is based on the importance scores, and cropping the original digital image to the cropping window.

Abstract:
In an example method, a system accesses first input data and a machine learning architecture. The machine learning architecture includes a first module having a first neural network, a second module having a second neural network, and a third module having a third neural network. The system generates a first feature set representing a first portion of the first input data using the first neural network, and a second feature set representing a second portion of the first input data using the second neural network. The system generates, using the third neural network, first output data based on the first feature set and the second feature set.
