In the research of video quality assessment (VQA), two-branch network [1] has emerged as a promising solution. It decouples VQA with separate technical and aesthetic branches to measure the perception of low-level distortions and high-level semantics respectively. However, we argue that while techni…
Video frame interpolation and prediction aim to synthesize frames in-between and subsequent to existing frames, respectively. Despite being closely-related, these two tasks are traditionally studied with different model architectures, or same architecture but individually trained weights. Furthermor…
Video frame interpolation (VFI) has witnessed great progress in recent years. However, existing VFI models still struggle to achieve a good trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Accurate VFI models typically rely on heavy compute to process all samples, ignoring the fact that easy samples with…
Flow-guided synthesis provides a common framework for frame interpolation, where optical flow is estimated to guide the synthesis of intermediate frames between consecutive inputs. In this paper, we present UPR-Net, a novel Unified Pyramid Recurrent Network for frame interpolation. Cast in a flexibl…
No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) techniques have shown improved performance with the help of deep-learning but lightweight architectures have not received attention. In this paper, we propose an NR-IQA network named Lightweight Non-uniform Weighting-based NR-IQA (LiNuIQA) that adopts a…
