Abstract

A method of object-aware video coding is provided that comprises the steps of: receiving a video sequence having a plurality of frames; selecting at least two frames; determing total area of at least one object of interest in each of the at least two frames; comparing the total area to a threshold area; classifying each of the at least two frames as being a low object weighted frame or a high object weighted frame, low object weighted frames being frames having the total area exceeding the threshold area and high object weighted frames being frame having the total area not exceeding the threshold area; and encoding each low object weighted frame according to one encoding mode and encoding each high object weighted frame according to a different encoding mode.
