Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to the assessment on how well and consistent the quality of a video asset satisfies a given target quality level or a time-varying target quality curve, and the optimization on encoding configuration to achieve the best compromise between satisfying the target quality requirement and saving the bit rate/bandwidth cost. The application scope of the present disclosure is generally in, but not limited to, the field of video coding and distributions, including both live and file-based video encoding, broadcasting and streaming systems. Methods and systems implemented based on the present disclosure may achieve the highest accuracy approaching any given target quality with the smoothest quality variation over time, while maximally reduce bit rate/bandwidth and video distribution cost by optimally determining video encoding configurations and parameters.

Abstract: A graphical representation of an object (e.g., a 2D image) is transformed to a grid representation of the object. The grid representation adopts a structure of a grid. Graph nodes are extracted from the graphical representation and arranged based on the structure. An anchor node may be selected from the graph nodes and assigned to an element of the grid. Other graph nodes can be assigned to other elements of the grid based on their relationships with the anchor node. The grid representation can be processed by a CNN including one or more convolutional layers. A convolutional layer may receive the grid representation, generates variants of the grid representations, and extract features based on the variants. The output of the CNN can be used to determine a condition of the object, e.g., to generate a 3D graphical representation of the object that shows a pose of the object.
