Abstract
An optimizing video processing method and system selects algorithms for best obtainable video quality for the available computation resources. A video processing module, which processes an input of a video stream, architectural parameters for identifying an order of cascaded video functions and determining a bit precision between data of any consecutive cascaded functions according to an associated complexity level which correlates with a value of available computational resources. An optimizer module optimizes processing of the video stream and includes a plurality of optimization engines each having an associated complexity level. The optimizer module selects an optimization engine according a complexity level which correlates with the value of available computational resources. An Object Image Quality (OIQ) evaluator module evaluates an image quality of an output of the video stream from the video processing module. The OIQ evaluator module includes a plurality of objective image quality metrics having an associated complexity level. The OIQ evaluator module selects a metric according to a correlation factor and a complexity level for said value of available computation resources.
