Optimizing video coding using a deep learning model

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for optimizing encoding video frames from a video is provided. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving a video frame to be encoded. The method further comprises using one or more machine learning models to generate an encoding parameter value for encoding the video frame. The method further comprises comparing a first set of delta encoding values, based on the encoding parameter value, representing differences between groups of pixels of the video frame to a second set of delta encoding values, based on an alternative encoding parameter value, representing differences between the groups of pixels of the video frame, and in response to determining that the first set of delta encoding values is less than the second set of delta encoding values, selecting the encoding parameter value. The method further comprises based on the encoding parameter value, encoding the video frame to generate an encoded video frame.
