Systems and methods for region of interest video processing

A method of encoding video, comprising:

• identifying at least one region of interest within a frame of video using a source encoder;
• assigning at least one importance value to a plurality of regions within the frame using a source encoder, where a higher importance value is assigned to identified regions of interest;
• and
• applying a first error propagation reduction process to at least one region assigned a first importance value and a second error propagation reduction process to at least one region assigned a second importance value using the source encoder.

A playback device, comprising:

• a processor configured by a decoder application, where the decoder application configures the processor to:
• receive data including a sequence of encoded video frames;
• decode the sequence of encoded video frames;
• apply a first error concealment process when a region of a frame of video has a first importance value;
• and
• apply a second error concealment process when a region of a frame of video has a second importance value.

A method of decoding video, comprising:

• receiving data including a sequence of encoded video frames using a playback device;
• decoding the sequence of encoded video frames using the playback device;
• applying a first error concealment process when a region of a frame of video has a first importance value using the playback device;
• and
• applying a second error concealment process when a region of a frame of video has a second importance value using the playback device.

A machine readable medium containing processor instructions, where execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform a process comprising:

• identifying at least one region of interest within a frame of video;
• assigning at least one importance value to a plurality of regions within the frame, where a higher importance value is assigned to identified regions of interest;
• and
• applying a first error propagation reduction process to at least one region assigned a first importance value and a second error propagation reduction process to at least one region assigned a second importance value.
