Nvidia patents video repair that fixes glitches based on where they appear
Nvidia describes a method for fixing video streams when data is lost or corrupted during transmission. Instead of using one standard fix for all errors, the system chooses a specific repair method based on where the damage occurs and what part of the image is most important.
In the filing’s own words
In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to context-aware error concealment to improve inference accuracy are disclosed. A system can identify a frame of a video stream and determine that the frame comprises corrupted or lost data. The system can generate a corrected frame by applying an error concealment function selected based at least on a location of the corrupted or lost data in the frame and a region of interest in the frame.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors comprising: one or more circuits to: obtain a plurality of frames of a video stream; determine that a first frame of the plurality of frames comprises first corrupted or lost data, the first frame having a first region of interest; in response to determining that the first frame comprises the first corrupted or lost data, generate a first corrected frame by applying a first error concealment function to at least the first region of interest of the first frame; determine that a second frame of the plurality of frames comprises second corrupted or lost data, the second frame having a second region of interest; and in response to determining that the second frame comprises the second corrupted or lost data, generate a second corrected frame by applying a second error concealment function to at least the second region of interest of the second frame.
