Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards comparing two images for content differences, such as images based on the frames of a show and a derivative version of that show. Frame pairs such as from an original show and its derivative version are processed into image pairs, which can include decoding, scaling, luminance extraction and/or filtering. An edge pixel image is obtained via edge detection for each image. Edge pixels in one image are compared against a counterpart edge pixel (and possibly neighboring pixels) in the other image to determine matches (matching edge pixels) and mismatches. An image with too many errors based on the mismatches is deemed as a candidate for further review. A difference image can be generated to assist a reviewer in detecting where the mismatches were detected. By repeating for the various frames, a show can be automatically compared against its derivative for content differences.

IPC Classes  ?

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards developing an adaptive bitrate stack (ladder) on a per-title basis. Variable bitrate encodings are used to obtain complexity information for a title and per-frames scores for the encodings; another encoding provides scene data. The complexity information is analyzed and processed based on the scene data to determine scene-based (e.g., objective and/or subjective quality) scores, which are used to determine scores for the encodings. The results are used to derive a candidate stack, comprising various resolutions and bitrates that provide desirable results. The candidate stack is evaluated by encoding the title using the candidate stack. These encodings are evaluated to select one resolution from any duplicate resolutions for a bitrate (e.g., based on relative quality), resulting in a pruned, final ladder that is associated with the title as the adaptive bitrate stack to be used for streaming that title's content.

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards validating content selection graphs for use in an in-memory content selection graph data store. When a content selection graph data is generated, the graph nodes can correspond to prebuilt response data. The response data for any of the nodes can be verified against rules based on the type of a node, for example, as well as based on client-specific information for types of clients. The overall validation process can validate the content selection graph for subsequent use, can result in errors or warnings being logged (which may or may not render the graph unusable, e.g., depending on severity), or can fail the content selection graph. If validated, the content selection graph can be used to rapidly return response data when content from the graph is requested.

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards coordinating the generation, validation and enabling of content selection graphs in an in-memory content selection graph data store. When a set of content selection graphs is requested, a coordinator starts the generation of the relevant graphs. Upon successful generation, the coordinator starts a validation of the generated graphs against rules for the nodes/response data in the graphs. If the generated graphs pass validation, the coordinator enables the graph set for use in an in-memory cache, whereby when a request to return content selection data is received, an active graph that corresponds to the request and the current time is accessed to obtain and return the response data as the requested content selection data.

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards maintaining content selection graphs in an in-memory content selection graph data store in association with respective start times that indicates when the respective graphs become active. When a request to return content selection data is received, an active graph that corresponds to the request and the current time is accessed to obtain the requested content selection data. The response data can be prebuilt, e.g., in a set of active graphs for different client types, so that the response can be returned generally as is from the active graph in the set for that particular client type. A Redis cache can be used to maintain the various graph sets, including the active graph sets and graph sets that will become active at a future time.

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards comparing two images for content differences, such as images based on the frames of a show and a derivative version of that show. Frame pairs such as from an original show and its derivative version are processed into image pairs, which can include decoding, scaling, luminance extraction and/or filtering. An edge pixel image is obtained via edge detection for each image. Edge pixels in one image are compared against a counterpart edge pixel (and possibly neighboring pixels) in the other image to determine matches (matching edge pixels) and mismatches. An image with too many errors based on the mismatches is deemed as a candidate for further review. A difference image can be generated to assist a reviewer in detecting where the mismatches were detected. By repeating for the various frames, a show can be automatically compared against its derivative for content differences.

Abstract

A technology that streams graphical components and rendering instructions to a client device, for the client device to perform the final rendering and overlaying of that content onto the client's video stream based on the client's most recent tracking of the device's position and orientation. A client device sends a request for augmented reality drawing data to a network device. In response, the network device generates augmented reality drawing data, which can be augmented reality change data based on the augmented reality information and previous client render state information, and sends the augmented reality drawing data to the client device. The client device receives the augmented reality drawing data and renders a visible representation of an augmented reality scene comprising overlaying augmented reality graphics over a current video scene obtained from a camera of the client device.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards generating a new video image sequence (e.g., for playback at 30 frames per second) based on an existing video image sequence (e.g., originated for playback at 24 frames per second). The technology is based on processing frames, e.g., adjacent pairs of frames in a four-frame sequence, to obtain candidate frames for selecting a similar candidate frame to insert into the original sequence to create the new sequence (e.g., a five-frame sequence). Aspects include selecting a repeated frame to insert or creating a new frame from existing frames to insert, to generate the new sequence based on a difference/scoring comparison.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards a production shot design system that facilitates previsualizing scene shots, including by members of a production crew (running client devices) in different locations in a collaborative and secure shot construction environment. Modifiable scene elements' properties and camera data can be manipulated to build a scene (shot) containing modifiable and non-modifiable scene elements. In an online, shared camera mode, changes to a scene can be communicated to other client devices, e.g., virtually immediately, so that each client device displays the change for other users to see at an interactive frame rate. Scene changes can also be made locally and/or in an offline mode before communicating to other users. In various aspects, animation and a video plane camera/video plane (e.g., greenscreen) are integrated into the production shot design system.

The described technology is generally directed towards causing the generation of a content selection graph (or set of graphs) upon receipt of a notification that a new graph or replacement graph is needed with respect to a starting timepoint. For a new graph, a timepoint for that new graph indicates the need for the new graph at a given starting time. For a replacement graph, a notification (subscribed from a monitoring service) can indicate that an existing graph has changed; a replacement graph is generated with a graph identifier of the replacement graph, which then replaces the graph identifier of the existing graph in the mappings of valid graphs to start times. A Redis cache can be used to maintain the various graph sets, including the active graph sets and graph sets that will become active at a future time.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards presenting a server overload condition that can result from a spike in client requests. Upon receiving an incoming client request for data at a server, a request buffer condition of a client request buffer (e.g., a counter) is evaluated to determine whether the client request corresponds to an anticipated overload state with respect to a request-handling capability of the server, e.g., whether the client request buffer is full. If so, an overload response (e.g., a retry response) is returned to the client indicating so that the client retries a corresponding client request after a time delay. If not in the anticipated overload state, the request is further processed, e.g., to provide a regular response containing the requested data, such as by adding a request information entry associated with the incoming client request to the client request buffer and updating the request buffer condition.

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards developing an adaptive bitrate stack (ladder) on a per-title basis. Variable bitrate encodings are used to obtain complexity information for a title and per-frames scores for the encodings; another encoding provides scene data. The complexity information is analyzed and processed based on the scene data to determine scene-based (e.g., objective and/or subjective quality) scores, which are used to determine scores for the encodings. The results are used to derive a candidate stack, comprising various resolutions and bitrates that provide desirable results. The candidate stack is evaluated by encoding the title using the candidate stack. These encodings are evaluated to select one resolution from any duplicate resolutions for a bitrate (e.g., based on relative quality), resulting in a pruned, final ladder that is associated with the title as the adaptive bitrate stack to be used for streaming that title's content.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards repurposing expired cached data when no unexpired data is available. Cached, unexpired data is used in response to a request when such data exists. If such data does not exist, e.g., at a front-end data service, then an attempt to obtain the requested data from another (e.g., back-end data service) is made. If the attempt is unsuccessful, and expired cached data exists, the expired cached data is returned in response to the request, e.g., instead of returning an error. A back-end data service may similarly return expired cached data when the back-end data service is unable to obtain unexpired requested data elsewhere.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards data-driven navigation, in which a next navigation location depends on variable data associated with an interactive user interface element (rather than a fixed link). The data may be in a hierarchy of data models. A menu contains interactive navigation elements, each bound to a data model. A selected interactive navigation element results in locating a data model associated with the selected element. The data model is used to determine the next navigation location. Also described is hierarchical navigation to one item of a level as well as lateral and peer navigation.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards generating a new video image sequence (e.g., for playback at 30 frames per second) based on an existing video image sequence (e.g., originated for playback at 24 frames per second). The technology is based on processing frames, e.g., adjacent pairs of frames in a four-frame sequence, to obtain candidate frames for selecting a similar candidate frame to insert into the original sequence to create the new sequence (e.g., a five-frame sequence). Aspects include selecting a repeated frame to insert or creating a new frame from existing frames to insert, to generate the new sequence based on a difference / scoring comparison.

Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards predicting a need for provisioned (e.g., cloud computing) resources so that the provisioned resources are proactively provisioned and operational before their actual need. Historical data is used to predict upcoming resource demand so that resources begin to be scaled up to meet demand in advance, at a prediction time, given that there is a “spin-up” delay between requesting resources and their actual availability. The predictive resource provisioning is adaptable to override customary historical data with expected exceptions, and is flexible to handle variable spin-up times, constraints, and optimizations.

Abstract

The described technology is directed towards an image providing service, including an image processing service that composites a base image into a resultant image, e.g., by resizing an image, overlaying text and so forth based upon a purpose for that image and/or a client device class; other parameters such as design information, protection and so forth also may be specified. When a client requests an image including by specifying a purpose and size in a request to an endpoint (e.g., URL) for an image, the image processing service locates or composites a resultant image corresponding to the request, and returns the resultant image or a modified (e.g., resized) resultant image in response to the request. Clients thus obtain images based upon a desired purpose without having to do client-side image processing including image compositing.
