OBJECT ARCHIVAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method of processing video, the method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
- processing a plurality of video signals to create object models for one or more objects represented in the video signals;
archiving the object models; and
using one or more of the archived object models when processing a compressed video file.

Abstract
Personal object based archival systems and methods are provided for processing and compressing video. By analyzing features unique to a user, such as face, family, and pet attributes associated with the user, an invariant model can be determined to create object model adapters personal to each user. These personalized video object models can be created using geometric and appearance modeling techniques, and they can be stored in an object model library. The object models can be reused for processing other video streams. The object models can be shared in a peer-to-peer network among many users, or the object models can be stored in an object model library on a server. When the compressed (encoded) video is reconstructed, the video object models can be accessed and used to produce quality video with nearly lossless compression.

24. A computer system for processing video comprising:
-
an encoder processing a video signal to create object models for one or more objects represented in the video signal; an object library storing the object models; and a decoder accessing a codec and the object library to use one or more of the archived object models when reconstructing a coded video file.
