Abstract
Video scene complexity can be estimated at a camera in real time. The camera may store associations between video complexity score ranges and corresponding bitrate values and between maximum key frame sizes and corresponding compression parameter values. As video is captured, a compression parameter value, a size of a compressed key frame, and a maximum key frame size associated with the compression parameter value can be used to estimate spatial complexity (e.g., a degree of detail within the video). The number of predicted frames corresponding to the key frame can be used to estimate temporal complexity (e.g., an amount of motion within the video). A video complexity score can be calculated from these spatial and temporal complexity estimations and used to select a bitrate for subsequent video transmissions, enabling improved bandwidth usage and storage planning while maintaining video quality.
