  • Patent number: 11743474
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include, for a current frame of a sequence of video frames, determining a frame type label of the current frame. The method may include, in response to determining that the current frame is labeled as an intra frame (I-frame), decoding the current frame and comparing the decoded frame to historical I-frame data. The method may also include, in response to the comparison satisfying a shot-change threshold, flagging the current frame as a shot-change frame, and in response to flagging the current frame as the shot-change frame, storing the current frame for a subsequent shot-change detection. The method may further include updating, based on flagged shot-change frames, shot boundaries for the sequence of video frames. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230075976
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for anonymizing media files for testing may include (i) identifying a computing process that processes media files, (ii) identifying a media file with at least one characteristic expected to produce output usable for improving the computing process when used as input data to perform a test of the computing process, (iii) anonymizing the media file by replacing content in the media file with predetermined filler content while maintaining the at least one characteristic in a valid state for producing the output usable for improving the computing process, and (iv) initiating the test of the computing process using the anonymized media file as the input data such that the output of the test can be used to improve the computing process. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
