Abstract

Embodiments are generally directed to methods and apparatuses for encoding based on importance values. An embodiment of a computing system comprises: a graphics processing unit (GPU) to render a scene of a graphics application that includes a plurality of geometries into a color buffer within a frame buffer of the GPU; and an encoder to encode the content of the color buffer into a video bitstream based on a plurality of importance values that are assigned to each of the plurality of geometries.
