Abstract: Techniques related to video coding using look ahead analysis and block based back propagation for block level quantization parameters are discussed. Such techniques include adaptively selecting frames subsequent to a target frame in a display order for use in the back propagation, propagating values to blocks of the target frame that are indicative of the importance of the blocks to the encode of the subsequent frames, and encoding the target frame using block level quantization parameters based on the propagated values.

Abstract: A lightweight but effective adaptive coding tool selection system with content classification can be implemented to reduce complexity and maintain quality in a video encoder. Content classification may classify a current frame between at least three classifications: screen content, weak screen content, and natural content. Content classification may make use of two statistics, e.g., color number and variance, of blocks that are 8×8 pixels or larger in size. The statistics may be used to calculate three frame-level statistics, e.g., proportion/percentage of blocks with few colors, proportion/percentage of blocks with zero variance, and proportion/percentage of blocks with big/large variance. The frame-level statistics are used to classify the current frame. Based on the classification, coding tool control flags or control signals may be generated accordingly to configure the encoder to, e.g., turn on or off certain coding tools, and/or use certain parameter values for the coding tools.

Abstract: An example apparatus includes image processing circuitry to determine an uncovered region of a background image in a current video frame relative to the background image in a previous video frame, the uncovered region obscured in the previous video frame by a first foreground region of the previous video frame, and the uncovered region uncovered in the current video frame based on movement of a second foreground region in the current video frame relative to the first foreground region of the previous video frame, and encoder circuitry to generate an updated frame portion by encoding the second foreground region and dirty blocks of the background image corresponding to the uncovered region without encoding static blocks of the background image, the static blocks not corresponding to the uncovered region, and store the updated frame portion in the at least one memory.
