Adjusting the image of an object to search for during video encoding due to changes in appearance caused by camera movement

Abstract:

Systems and methods for utilizing on-device sensor information to improve video encoding quality are discussed herein. Specifically, the systems and methods may utilize on-device sensor information to efficiently determine whether to encode a particular frame within a set of frames as an intra frame. When captured on video, a particular arrangement of a group of pixels within a frame may comprise a visual representation of an object within the frame. When encoding video footage, motion information characterizing motion of an image capturing device over time may be used to predict the modification of an arrangement of a group of pixels between frames. These predictions may be used to efficiently determine whether to encode a particular frame as an intra frame.
