Enhancing visual data using and augmenting model libraries
First Claim
1. A method for enhancing a quality of visual data when communicating visual data over a network, the method comprising:
- developing, at a first node of a network, a modified hierarchical algorithm from a known hierarchical algorithm, including training the known hierarchical algorithm based on visual data, the modified hierarchical algorithm configured to substantially recreate an original resolution version of the visual data from a lower-resolution version of the visual data;
transmitting, to a second node of the network, a reference to the known hierarchical algorithm from which the modified hierarchical algorithm was developed;
transmitting, to the second node, one or more modifications to the known hierarchical algorithm, the one or more modifications configured to reproduce the modified hierarchical algorithm from the known hierarchical algorithm; and
transmitting, to the second node, the lower-resolution version of the visual data.

Abstract
A method for enhancing visual data when communicating visual data over a network from a first node to a second node. The method at the first node comprises developing at least one modified hierarchical algorithm from a known hierarchical algorithm operable to substantially recreate at least one section of higher-quality visual data. References to one or more known hierarchical algorithms from which the modified hierarchical algorithms were developed are transmitted to the second node along with one or more modifications to the one or more known hierarchical algorithms operable to reproduce the one or more modified hierarchical algorithms from the known hierarchical algorithms. The second node is able to recreate substantially the higher-quality video using the modified hierarchical algorithm.
