Abstract:
A method for streaming videos with internally-variable frame quality is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes accessing a video including and evenly sampling the video frames. The method includes, for each sampled video frame, analyzing the video frame using a CNN model to determine whether the video frame includes high-relevance region(s). The method also includes, for each sampled video frame including high-relevance region(s), extracting coordinates of the high-relevance region(s) using the CNN model, and for each sampled video frame including high-relevance region(s) and each intervening video frame between the sampled video frame and a next sampled video frame, setting a minimum frame quality for the extracted coordinates. The method further includes streaming the video with internally-variable frame quality by buffering the extracted coordinates within the video frames with the minimum frame quality, while buffering remaining coordinates within the video frames with a lower frame quality.
