Abstract
In various examples, a deep neural network (DNN) based pre-filter for content streaming applications is used to dynamically adapt scene entropy (e.g., complexity) in response to changing network or system conditions of an end-user device. For example, where network and/or system performance issues or degradation are identified, the DNN may be implemented as a frame pre-filter to reduce the complexity or entropy of the frame prior to streaming—thereby allowing the frame to be streamed at a reduced bit rate without requiring a change in resolution. The DNN-based pre-filter may be tuned to maintain image detail along object, boundary, and/or surface edges such that scene navigation—such as by a user participating in an instance of an application—may be easier and more natural to the user.
