Google Improves YouTube’s Video Quality

Google Improves YouTube’s Video Quality
Now low quality videos from YouTube that are shaky and blurry could be a thing of the past, all thanks to Google’s latest acquisition! Google has recently acquired Green Parrot Pictures, an Irish digital video technology company that has used image processing techniques for movies such as Lord of the Rings, Spider Man and X-Men.

Google will use this technology to straighten out all its low quality videos that have been uploaded on YouTube by sharpening the images and producing a steadier video, and by reducing visual noise. Many of YouTube’s most popular videos are shot using mobile phones and low quality video cameras. Many of the most touching videos are both blurry and unsteady or have problems with visual noise.

Apart from improving the video quality, Green Parrot’s technology also helps to improve playback speed and encourage videos to use less bandwidth.
