Abstract
A technique is described herein that interprets some frames in a stream of video content as key frames and other frames as predicted frames. The technique uses an image analysis system to produce feature information for each key frame. The technique uses a prediction model to produce feature information for each predicted frame. The prediction model operates on two inputs: (1) feature information that has been computed for an immediately-preceding frame; and (2) frame-change information. A motion-determining model produces the frame-change information by computing the change in video content between the current frame being predicted and the immediately-preceding frame. The technique reduces the amount of image-processing operations that are used to process the stream of video content compared to a base case of processing all of the frames using the image analysis system. As such, the technique uses less computing resources compared to the base case.
