  • Patent number: 11388403
    Abstract: In a video encoding method, a to-be-encoded video is obtained. The video includes at least two video frames arranged in sequence. A quantization parameter and a quantization parameter threshold of an ith video frame is calculated, where i is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. A coding resolution of the ith video frame is determined according to the quantization parameter and the quantization parameter threshold. The coding resolution is a first coding resolution in a case that the ith video frame is sampled, and the coding resolution is a second coding resolution in a case that the ith video frame is downsampled. Then the ith video frame is encoded at the coding resolution.

  • Patent number: 10869048
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a picture transmission method performed at a computer device. After obtaining a picture, the computer device generates a video sequence by replicating the picture N times, and N being a positive integer. Next the computer device obtains a resolution setting sequence and encodes the N to-be-encoded pictures in the video sequence according to the resolution setting sequence to generate N encoded pictures, each encoded picture having an associated resolution setting. Finally, the computer device sends the N encoded pictures to a decoding computer device. The decoding computer device then decodes and displays the N encoded pictures according to their respective resolution settings from low to high.

  • Patent number: 10834405
    Abstract: A bit rate allocation method is provided for a bit rate allocation device. The method includes obtaining an intra prediction frame (I-frame) of a to-be-encoded video, and obtaining a bit-rate characteristic parameters associated with the I-frame. The bit-rate characteristic parameters include a number of video frames in a group-of-picture (GOP) in which the I-frame is located, a pixel number of the I-frame, and a proportion of an inter prediction macroblock in a historical inter prediction frame (P-frame) before the I-frame. The method also includes determining an allocated bit rate of the I-frame according to each bit-rate characteristic parameter.

  • Patent number: 10735029
    Abstract: The application discloses video data redundancy control methods and apparatuses. Video packet redundancy control information is determined according to packet loss at a reception apparatus. The video packet redundancy control information is received from the reception apparatus. Video data is encoded according to the video packet redundancy control information to obtain encoded video data of a plurality of frames by a transmission apparatus. A frame-level redundancy budget is allocated for one of the plurality of frames according to the video packet redundancy control information. Further, the one of the plurality of frames is packetized according to the frame-level redundancy budget to generate a packetized frame. Redundancy coding is performed on the packetized frame to generate video packets including data packets and redundant packets for transmission to the reception apparatus.
