Abstract
Methods and systems for compressing video content are presented. The methods and systems include analyzing a sequence of media frames stored in the memory device and calculating a displacement level of each of the media frames. The displacement level indicates how different each of the media frames is to a previous media frame. The sequence of media frames is divided into a plurality of cuts where each cut ends at a media frame having a substantially high displacement level. Frames to be removed from the sequence of media frames are identified in each cut based upon the frame's displacement level. The identified frames are then removed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a sequence of frames of content associated with a first time duration;
- removing one or more frames, from the sequence of frames of content, that were added based on a pulldown pattern, to compress the sequence of frames of content;
- and
- causing output of the compressed sequence of frames of content during a second time duration, wherein the first time duration is longer than the second time duration.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- receive a sequence of frames of content associated with a first time duration;
- remove one or more frames, from the sequence of frames of content, that were added based on a pulldown pattern, to compress the sequence of frames of content;
- and
- cause output of the compressed sequence of frames of content during a second time duration, wherein the first time duration is longer than the second time duration.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving a sequence of frames of content associated with a first time duration;
- removing one or more frames, from the sequence of frames of content, that were added based on a pulldown pattern, to compress the sequence of frames of content;
- and
- causing output of the compressed sequence of frames of content during a second time duration, wherein the first time duration is longer than the second time duration.
