Differential transformation of video

Abstract:

According to one implementation, a system for differentially transforming video content includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a video reformatting software code. The hardware processor executes the video reformatting software code to receive an input video file including video content formatted for a first set of coordinates, and to detect one or more principle features depicted in the video content based on a predetermined principle feature identification data corresponding to the video content. The hardware processor further executes the video reformatting software code to differentially map the video content to a second set of coordinates to produce a reformatted video content. The resolution of the one or more principle features is enhanced relative to other features depicted in the reformatted video content.
