  • Enhancing visual data using and augmenting model libraries
    Patent number: 10499069
    Abstract: A method for enhancing visual data when communicating visual data over a network from a first node to a second node. The method at the first node comprises developing at least one modified hierarchical algorithm from a known hierarchical algorithm operable to substantially recreate at least one section of higher-quality visual data. References to one or more known hierarchical algorithms from which the modified hierarchical algorithms were developed are transmitted to the second node along with one or more modifications to the one or more known hierarchical algorithms operable to reproduce the one or more modified hierarchical algorithms from the known hierarchical algorithms. The second node is able to recreate substantially the higher-quality video using the modified hierarchical algorithm.
