SKIP CONVOLUTIONS FOR EFFICIENT VIDEO PROCESSING

Abstract:

A method for video processing via an artificial neural network includes receiving a video stream as an input at the artificial neural network. A residual is computed based on a difference between a first feature of a current frame of the video stream and a second feature of a previous frame of the video stream. One or more portions of the current frame of the video stream are processed based on the residual. Additionally, processing is skipped for one or more portions of the current frame of the video based on the residual.
