Abstract

In a general aspect, a computer-readable storage medium can be configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor of a host device to perform a process. The instructions can include instructions to determine that a first region of a current image is identical to a first region of a prior image, and instructions to determine that a second region of the current image is different from a second region of the prior image. The instructions can also include instructions to calculate, in response to the determination that the second region of the current image is different, a rate of change associated with the portion of the second region, and instructions to identify a portion of the second region of the current image for encoding based on the rate of change associated with the portion of the second region of the current image based on a threshold value.
