METHOD FOR ENCODING INPUT SEGMENT OF INPUT VIDEO

摘要

An input segment of an input video is encoded by first extracting and storing, for each segment of previously encoded videos, a set of reference features. The set of input features are matched with each set of the reference features to produce a set of scores. The reference segments having largest scores are selected to produce a first reduced set of reference segments. A rate-distortion cost for each reference segment in the first reduced set of reference segments is estimated. The reference segments in the first reduced set of reference segments is selected to produce a second reduced set of reference segments. Then, the input segment are encoded based on second reduced set of reference segments.
