Sony patents AI video editing that keeps changes consistent across frames
Sony describes circuitry that takes a video and metadata instructions to change a specific visual feature using a generative AI model. The system applies a 'consistency constraint' to ensure the AI-generated changes look stable and logical throughout the entire video sequence rather than flickering or changing randomly.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure pertains to circuitry that is configured to obtain input video data and associated metadata, wherein the input video data represent a video sequence, and wherein the metadata indicate a consistency constraint for modifying a feature of the video sequence; cause a generative artificial intelligence model to generate a modification of the feature in accordance with the consistency constraint; and generate output video data that represent the video sequence in which the feature is replaced by the modification of the feature.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. Circuitry, configured to: obtain input video data and associated metadata, wherein the input video data represent a video sequence, and wherein the metadata indicate a consistency constraint for modifying a feature of the video sequence; cause a generative artificial intelligence model to generate a modification of the feature in accordance with the consistency constraint; and generate output video data that represent the video sequence in which the feature is replaced by the modification of the feature.
