Expert system and method for elastic encoding of video according to regions of interest

摘要

An elastic expert system for allocating bits according to application domain requirements and network resources. The elastic expert system observes the network resources and determines a state for allocating bits, the state relating to the application domain requirements. The elastic expert system can then allocate bits to a region-of-interest based on the determined state. The elastic expert system also can allocate bits to a background region and an extended region of interest.
