A device for determining information for video data includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry that are configured to determine one or more most-interested regions of a plurality of regions of an image of video data from data representative of the one or more most-interested regions. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a request specifying the one or more most-interested regions using the data representative of the one or more most-interested regions and output the request to a server device.

Creative intent input describing emotion expectations and narrative information relating to media content is received. Expected physiologically observable states relating to the media content are generated based on the creative intent input. An audiovisual content signal with the media content and media metadata comprising the physiologically observable states is provided to a playback apparatus. The audiovisual content signal causes the playback device to use physiological monitoring signals to determine, with respect to a viewer, assessed physiologically observable states relating to the media content and generate, based on the expected physiologically observable states and the assessed physiologically observable states, modified media content to be rendered to the viewer.

Disclosed is a signal processing device and an image display apparatus including the same. In the signal processing device and the image display apparatus according to the present disclosure, a High Dynamic Range (HDR) processor receives an image signal and adjust a luminance of the image signal, and a reduction unit configured to amplify the adjusted luminance of the image signal and increase a resolution of the grayscale of the image signal to generate an enhanced image signal, wherein the enhanced image signal provides an increased luminance and grayscale resolution of the image signal while maintaining high dynamic range within the displayed HDR image. Accordingly, expression of high grayscale of a received image may improve.

A method is provided. The method includes: reading video information of a 3D video to be rendered; determining an image format of the 3D video according to the video information; generating a first spherical model and a second spherical model according to the image format; reading a frame image of the 3D video, where the frame image includes a first sub-image and a second sub-image; obtaining angle-of-view rotation data and image sealing data; rendering the frame image according to the angle-of-view rotation data and the image scaling data, where the first sub-image is rendered to the first spherical model to obtain a first spherical image, and the second sub-image is rendered to the second spherical model to obtain a second spherical image; and outputting images in a viewport area of the first spherical image and the second spherical image to a display device.

An image processing device processes a first sub-image of an image split into sub-images. Each sub-image is displayable by a display device. The image processing device is associated with a first display device and connects to a source device through a first network and to another image processing device through a second network. The image processing device includes first and second receiving units and a generating unit. The first receiving unit receives the first sub-image from the source device via the first network. The second receiving unit receives, via a second network, at least one part of at least one second sub-image to be displayed by another display device, wherein the received at least one part is adjacent to the received first sub-image. The generating unit generates a first clustered sub-image to be displayed by the first display device, based on the received first sub-image and adjacent part.

Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for providing an enhanced media presentation. In one embodiment, an enhanced media presentation is provided. To provide the enhanced media presentation, one or more content items associated with subject matter associated with a segment of an enhanced media presentation are identified. Each content item may be associated with at least one uniform resource identifier. Then, a content object based at least in part on at least one content item is created. The content object is an abstract representation of the content item. The content object can be associated with the segment and provided for simultaneous displayed simultaneously with at least a portion of the segment.

A system for providing video playback comprises a processor configured to synchronize clocks on the plurality of devices to a standard time, provide target video playback positions to the plurality of devices, wherein target video playback positions are based at least in part on the timing information, provide one or more locators for video streams to the plurality of devices, monitor playback status for each of the plurality of devices, and for a device, determine whether the playback status for the device indicates that a selected bitrate is too low or too high or that the playback is fast or slow; in response to determining the selected bitrate is too low, indicate to select a higher bitrate for a device; and in response to determining the selected bitrate is too high, indicate to select a lower bitrate for the device.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method that includes using a reinforcement learning (RL) system to generate a first set of displayed region candidates based on inputs received from online users while watching video. A recommendation system is used to rank the first set of displayed region candidates based on inputs received from a local user watching video. The recommendation system is further used to select a first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed region candidates. Based on the first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed region candidates, a first section of a first raw video frame is fetched that matches the first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed candidate regions, wherein the first section of the first raw video frame includes a first predicted display region of the video frame.

An interactive video/multimedia application (IVM application) may specify one or more media assets for playback. The IVM application may define the rendering, composition, and interactivity of one or more the assets, such as video. Video multimedia application data (IVMA data may) be used to define the behavior of the IVM application. The IVMA data may be embodied as a standalone file in a text or binary, compressed format. Alternatively, the IVMA data may be embedded within other media content. A video asset used in the IVM application may include embedded, content-aware metadata that is tightly coupled to the asset. The IVM application may reference the content-aware metadata embedded within the asset to define the rendering and composition of application display elements and user-interactivity features. The interactive video/multimedia application (defined by the video and multimedia application data) may be presented to a viewer in a player application.

Provided are an image processing method, apparatus and system, a network device, a terminal and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring composition indication information for indicating a composition and display manner of regions of interest (ROIs) in a video image; and generating a media stream of the video image based on at least the composition indication information, i.e., writing the composition indication information into a code stream of the video image.
