  • Patent number: 12278971
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media to selectively enhance digital image and video content. For example, systems disclosed herein can encode original video content to compress and decompress the original video content. Systems described herein can further identify area of interest information for use in identifying portions of decompressed video content to analyze and remove one or more compression artifacts found therein. Systems described herein can further enhance the decompressed video content by increasing resolution for display. By identifying areas of interest and selectively enhancing digital video content, the systems described herein can reduce consumption of bandwidth and processing resources while maintaining high visual quality of the digital content.
