Video compression system

A computing system, the computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• accessing a sequence of image frames from a first computing device, the sequence of image frames comprising a first image frame and a second image frame;
• detecting, using a motion estimation machine learning model, a first set of keypoints for the first image frame;
• transmitting, via a network, the first image frame and the first set of keypoints to a second computing device;
• detecting, using the motion estimation machine learning model, a second set of keypoints for the second image frame;
• transmitting, via the network, the second set of keypoints to the second computing device;
• and
• causing an animated image to be displayed on the second computing device, the animated image generated using an image generation neural network trained to analyze the first image frame, the first set of keypoints and the second set of keypoints to generate the animated image.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the computer-readable storage medium to perform operations comprising:

• accessing a sequence of image frames from a first computing device, the sequence of image frames comprising a first image frame and a second image frame;
• detecting, using a motion estimation machine learning model, a first set of keypoints for the first image frame;
• transmitting, via a network, the first image frame and the first set of keypoints to a second computing device;
• detecting, using the motion estimation machine learning model, a second set of keypoints for the second image frame;
• transmitting, via the network, the second set of keypoints to the second computing device;
• and
• causing an animated image to be displayed on the second computing device, the animated image generated using an image generation neural network trained to analyze the first image frame, the first set of keypoints and the second set of keypoints to generate the animated image.
