Abstract

In one embodiment, a computing system may receive a video including a sequence of frames. The computing system may access a three-dimensional mask that specifies pixel-sampling locations, the three-dimensional mask having a first dimension and a second dimension corresponding to a spatial domain and a third dimension corresponding to a temporal domain. Blue noise property may be present in the pixel-sampling locations that are associated with each of a plurality of two-dimensional spatial slices of the three-dimensional mask in the spatial domain and the pixel-sampling locations that are associated with each of a plurality of one-dimensional temporal slices of the three-dimensional mask in the temporal domain. The computing system may generate a sample of the video by sampling the sequence of frames using the three-dimensional mask.
