CONTENT CLASSIFICATION FOR MULTIMEDIA PROCESSING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for processing multimedia data, such as video data, audio data, or both video and audio data, for encoding utilizing a determined content classification.SOLUTION: Processing the multimedia data includes determining complexity of the multimedia data, classifying the multimedia data on the basis of the determined complexity, and determining a bit rate for encoding the multimedia data on the basis of the classification of the multimedia data. The complexity can include a spatial complexity component and a temporal complexity component of the multimedia data. The multimedia data is classified using content classifications, which are based on a visual quality value for viewing multimedia data, using the spatial complexity, the temporal complexity, or both the spatial complexity and temporal complexity.
