Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes inputting a proxy encoding configuration into an encoder. This encoder determines proxy quality values from an actual encoding of a portion of a video. These proxy quality values are for a set of bitrates and a resolution. The method also determines target feature values for the same portion of the video. The method inputs both the target feature values and a target configuration into a prediction network. This network generates a plurality of quality offset values for the set of bitrates and the resolution. The prediction network is configured to predict an offset to the proxy quality values. This offset is determined based on a difference between the proxy encoding configuration and the target configuration. The method then generates a plurality of quality values. The generation uses the plurality of proxy quality values and the corresponding plurality of quality offset values.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a first video and processes frames of the first video to generate a second video. A frame matching process is performed to determine whether frames of the second video and frames of the first video meet a condition that determines whether frames match to generate a new version of the second video and a new version of the first video. A sequence of frames in the new version of the first video is different from the first video. The method compares frames of the new version of the second video and frames of the new version of the first video to generate a score based on a quality metric.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) measurement system for an X-ray image is employed either as a component of the X-ray imaging system or separately from the X-ray imaging system to automatically scan post-exposure X-ray images to detect and locate various landmarks of the anatomy presented within the X-ray image. A set of key image features approximating the locations of the landmarks having known distance relationships to one another is overlaid onto the X-ray image. The positions of the key image features are then adjusted to correspond to the landmarks within the X-ray image. These adjustments are made relative to the prior known distance relationships between the key features, which enables the measurement system to readily calculate desired angular and length measurements between landmarks as a result.
