Abstract
A perceptual mechanism for residue selection in a video encoder may be provided. The mechanism may comprise a method, system, or device for receiving video frames comprising pluralities of pixels. For each video frame, a sensitivity threshold may be determined for each pixel of a previous video frame. The pixels of the video frame may compared in turn to the pixels of the previous video frame to determine a residue value. The residue value may be compared to the sensitivity threshold such that when the residue value is less than the sensitivity threshold, the pixel data in the video frame may be zeroed out prior to encoding the video frame for transmission.
