Encoding technique for optimizing distortion and bitrate

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• generating multiple sets of encoded chunks for a source video sequence, wherein each set of encoded chunks corresponds to a different shot sequence included in the source video sequence;
• performing one or more convex hull operations across a first set of data points associated with a first set of encoded chunks to generate a first convex hull, wherein the first set of encoded chunks is included in the multiple sets of encoded chunks and corresponds to a first shot sequence;
• computing a first slope value between two data points included in the first convex hull;
• performing a first comparison between the first slope value and a second slope value, wherein the second slope value is computed between two data points included in a second convex hull generated for a second shot sequence;
• and
• including a first encoded chunk from the first set of encoded chunks in a final encoded version of the source video sequence based on the first comparison.

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that are coupled to the one or more memories and, when executing the instructions, are configured to perform the steps of:
• generating multiple sets of encoded chunks for a source video sequence, wherein each set of encoded chunks corresponds to a different shot sequence included in the source video sequence;
• performing one or more convex hull operations across a first set of data points associated with a first set of encoded chunks to generate a first convex hull that includes a first subset of data points, wherein the first set of encoded chunks is included in the multiple sets of encoded chunks and corresponds to a first shot sequence;
• computing a first parameter for a first data point included in the first convex hull;
• performing a first comparison between the first parameter and a second parameter computed for a second data point included in a second convex hull generated for a second shot sequence;
• and
• including a first encoded chunk from the first set of encoded chunks in a final encoded version of the source video sequence based on the first comparison.
