Reduced bandwidth consumption via generative adversarial networks

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method comprises determining a desired resolution quality of a media file; determining available resources of a computing device; selecting one of a plurality of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) plugins based on the determined available resources of the computing device; and estimating a second resolution quality of the media file corresponding to the selected GAN plugin. The second resolution quality is less than the desired resolution quality. The method further comprises communicating with a server to receive the media file at the estimated second resolution quality; converting the received media file from the second resolution quality to the desired resolution quality by using the selected GAN plugin; and outputting the converted media file with the desired resolution quality.
