Subject: [PATCH v0 1/3] media: chips-media: wave5: Add Support for Background Detection
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 14:32:08 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319053210.90-2-jackson.lee@chipsnmedia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319053210.90-1-jackson.lee@chipsnmedia.com>
From: Jackson Lee <jackson.lee@chipsnmedia.com>
Wave5 encoder can be configured to detect a background region in a frame.
If a background region is detected, it will use less bits or skip mode to
encode that region. This can assist in lowering the video bitrate for a
given stream.
