Nvidia patents tool to compare video output from different graphics systems
Nvidia describes a method for automatically comparing video files created by different computer graphics systems. The system identifies specific visual elements, or artifacts, in both videos and checks if they are similar enough to meet a set standard. If they match, the software displays the relevant parts of both videos side-by-side for review.
In the filing’s own words
Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and techniques that facilitates the efficient, automated comparison of computer graphics systems and algorithms. The techniques include comparing a first set of video artifacts and a second set of video artifacts. The sets of video artifacts may have been derived from respective videos generated by a respective computer graphics system. The techniques include determining, based on the comparing, that a difference between a first video artifact and a second video artifact satisfy a threshold criterion, indicating that the video artifacts have one or more similar characteristics. The techniques include causing a UI to play a first portion of the first video that includes the first video artifact and a second portion of the second video that includes the second video artifact.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: comparing, using a processing device, a first set of video artifacts derived from a first video generated by a first computer graphics system and a second set of video artifacts derived from a second video generated by a second computer graphics system; determining, based on the comparing, that a difference between a first video artifact from the first set of video artifacts and a second video artifact from the second set of video artifacts satisfies a threshold criterion, wherein the first video artifact and the second video artifact have one or more similar characteristics; and causing a user interface (UI) to display a first portion of the first video comprising the first video artifact and a second portion of the second video comprising the second video artifact.
