System and method for reducing latency in video delivery

摘要

A system and a method for producing a low-latency video for transmission over a network. The low-latency video may be created by modeling a select portion of original video data and comparing a current frame of the model against previous frames of the model in order to estimate the select portions of the original video data. The estimated, select portions of the original video data may be combined with a remainder of the original video data (such as background images) in order to produce the low-latency video. Model data and the original video data can be transmitted over the network using different paths in order to ensure that the model data is transmitted as quickly as possible, thereby allowing enough time for a morpher to process the model data before combining the model with the original video data.

主权项

1. A method of producing a low-latency video, comprising:
modeling, by one or more processors, a select portion of original video data, on a frame-by-frame basis, to produce model information; and transmitting the original video data and the model information data over a network.
