Abstract
In some implementations, a device may encode a series of images of video data into an encoded video stream including key frames and delta frames. The delta frames may be arranged according to a hierarchical prediction pattern with multiple temporal layers and a predetermined structure. The device may obtain an instruction to encode a delta frame as a skip frame. The device may determine that the skip frame is to be encoded in a first temporal layer, of the multiple temporal layers, according to the predetermined structure. The device may evaluate whether an immediately preceding frame to the skip frame is encoded, or to be encoded, in a second temporal layer, of the multiple temporal layers, that is finer than the first temporal layer. The device may perform an action based on the evaluation.
