A pre-encoder generates predictions of block types for the blocks of a video frame based on associated pixel activities. For each block, the pre-encoder calculates the difference between the pixel activities of the block of a current frame and the pixel activities of a corresponding block of a previous video frame. If the difference is less than a first threshold, the pre-encoder predicts that the block will be a skip block. If the difference is in between the first threshold and a second threshold, the pre-encoder predicts that the block will be a P-block. Otherwise, if the difference is greater than the second threshold, then the pre-encoder predicts that the block will be an I-block. The pre-encoder uses the predictions to select quantization parameter (QP) ranges for encoding the blocks of the video frame."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Block type prediction leveraging block-based pixel activities","description":"Systems, apparatuses, and methods for block type prediction leveraging block-based pixel activities are disclosed.
