Deep domain knowledge video processing and coding

Features: relational map of all tools (origins and evolution across standards), how each tool overlaps, interferes, or compounds with other tools ; Essentiality analysis of each irreducible step in the toolkit (benefits & costs); tool complexity reduction optimized for task (cost, end use cases) and attribute retention (no banding, dark detail, isolated highlights..); Noise processing appropriate for target rate, while preserving desired look; Stream-domain editing/repack that avoids re-quantization where unnecessary ; Encode and decoder state detail beyond any stream analyzer; Minimal multi-generation coding loss; Minimal intermediates from which further task & attribute preserving passes can be based upon; Knowledge dependency graph of streams; Artifact source and propagation tracing.
