A method of encoding image or video content within a set of targets such as a time, a complexity, quality, and bitrate, using an encoder having a plurality of coding configurations, comprises setting an initial coding configuration in the encoder, where coding configurations differ one from the other in the number of options tested for each of one or more tools. A first part of the content is encoded in the initial configuration and measures are made of the number of times a specified tool is used and a representative time taken to test an option for that specified tool. From those measures a prediction is made of the time difference between the time taken to encode content using the initial coding configuration and the time taken to encode content using another coding configuration in which a different number of options are tested for that specified tool.

An image compression device of an endoscope apparatus includes a compression processing control unit, a storage unit, a first compression parameter generating unit, a second compression parameter generating unit and a compression parameter determining unit. The first compression parameter generating unit generates a first tentative compression parameter based on a transferable data amount. The second compression parameter generating unit generates a second tentative compression parameter based on a storage capacity of the storage unit. The compression parameter determining unit compares the first tentative compression parameter and the second tentative compression parameter to select a parameter with which a data amount after compression becomes smaller as a selected parameter. The compression processing control unit updates a compression parameter with the selected parameter and performs compression processing using the updated compression parameter.

To generate a favorable image that suppresses the occurrence of pattern noise in a method of performing patch-based noise reduction for a RAW image. In order to attain this object, the image processing apparatus of the present invention includes a pixel setting unit; a patch setting unit; and a noise reduction unit. Then, the pixel setting unit sets, for one pixel of interest, at least two kinds of pixel whose positions are different in a minimum unit of the color filter array as the plurality of reference pixels. Further, the patch setting unit sets, for one pixel of interest, at least two kinds of reference patch whose shapes are different.

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes analyzing an image stored on a device. In response to determining that a storage consumption of the device is greater than a first predetermined threshold, content of the image that is both non-focused and that is not of interest is selectively compressed. In response to determining that the storage consumption subsequent to selectively compressing content of the image that is both non-focused and that is not of interest, is greater than a second predetermined threshold, content of the image that is both focused and that is not of interest is selectively compressed. In response to determining that the storage consumption subsequent to selectively compressing content of the image that is both focused and that is not of interest, is greater than the second predetermined threshold, content of the image that is both focused and that is of interest is selectively compressed.

A method of encoding video including: writing a plurality of predetermined buffer descriptions into a sequence parameter set of a coded video bitstream; writing a plurality of updating parameters into a slice header of the coded video bitstream for selecting and modifying one buffer description out of the plurality of buffer descriptions; and encoding a slice into the coded video bitstream using the slice header and the modified buffer description.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to receive a media item. The media item can be split into a plurality of segments. The plurality of segments can be subjected to a plurality of distributed prepublication processing stages. One or more stage progress reports can be received. Each of the one or more stage progress reports can indicate an extent complete of one of the plurality of distributed prepublication processing stages for one of the plurality of segments. An overall extent complete can be calculated with respect to the media item based on the one or more stage progress reports.
