  • Patent number: 11398253
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for decomposing a video to salient fragments and synthesizing a video composition based on the salient fragments. A computer-implemented method receives a first set of salient fragments and a first set of clusters extracted from a video, where each cluster includes related salient fragments connected by a connectivity graph. The method determines a weight associated with each of the salient fragments and each of the clusters based on an activity level associated with the respective salient fragment or cluster and determine a permissible zone of activity. The method determines a spatial-temporal distortion to be applied to each salient fragment and cluster and synthesizes a video composition based on the first set of salient fragments, the first set of clusters and non-salient portions of the video using weighted editing.

  • Patent number: 10708635
    Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for distributing video segments of a video to one or more brokers based on topics and storing the video segments in a distributed commit log associated with the topics. A video processing application decomposes a video into fragments, groups the fragments into topics based on identifiers associated with the fragments, breaks the fragments into a sequence of segments, distributes the sequence of segments to one or more brokers based on the topics, and stores, by the one or more brokers, the sequence of segments associated with a topic in a distributed commit log while preserving a sequence order of the sequence of segments.
