Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for video transcoding based on spatial or temporal importance include: in response to receiving an encoded video bitstream, decoding a picture from the encoded video bitstream; determining a first level of spatial importance for a first region of a background of the picture based on an image segmentation technique; applying to the first region a first resolution-enhancement technique associated with the first level of spatial importance for increasing resolution of the first region by a scaling factor, wherein the first resolution-enhancement technique is selected from a set of resolution-enhancement techniques having different computational complexity levels; and encoding the first region using a video coding standard.
