  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED IMAGE COMPRESSION
    Publication number: 20190364291
    Abstract: A system configured to perform pre-processing on a plurality of frames representative of an image, such as frames of a video sequences, to improve the compressibility of the video sequence during video encoding. In some cases, the plurality of frames are utilized to generate a deblocked image that may be compressed by the video encoder to further improve compression rates with respect to the original video sequence.
    Type: Application

  • Method and system for measuring visual quality of a video sequence
    Patent number: 10085015
    Abstract: A system configured to apply a human visual system model at one or more human visual system model settings to a reference video sequence and a distorted video sequence to determine a quality score of the distorted video sequence with respect to the reference video sequence is described. The human visual system model settings of the human visual system model are representative of at least one condition associated with an individual viewing the distorted video sequence.
