Abstract

An example apparatus for encoding video frames includes a receiver to receive video frames and a heat map from a camera and expected object regions from a video database. The apparatus also includes a region of interest (ROI) map generator to detect a region of interest in a video frame based on the expected object regions. The ROI map generator can also detect a region of interest in the video frame based on the heat map. The ROI map generator can then generate an ROI map based on the detected regions of interest. The apparatus further includes a parameter adjuster to adjust an encoding parameter based on the ROI map. The apparatus also further includes a video encoder to encode the video frame using the adjusted encoding parameter.
