Abstract
The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for enhancing video encoding using depth information. An exemplary method comprises: determining, using a computing device, depth information associated with a first object in an image; determining, based on the depth information, that the first object is an object in focus; determining, based on the object in focus, a more important segment of an image; determining a first bit rate for encoding the more important segment of the image; and encoding the more important segment using the first bit rate.
