Abstract

The disclosure is related to allocation of bits in a media stream. In an example, a video stream is segmented into groups of pixels. A determination of a class type is made for individual ones of the groups of pixels. The determination can be based at least in part on semantic similarity of the class type and of a scene represented in the groups of pixels. A further determination occurs for sets of classified data associated with regions of interest (ROIs) according to the determined class type. Masking data associated with the sets of classified data is provided and confidence measures associated with the sets of classified data and the ROIs are determined. Bits are then allocated for groups of pixels based on the masking data and the confidence measures. Thereafter, a bit stream with the bits can be transmitted for playback on a computing device.
