Efficient reference structures are essential in video compression, enabling the exploitation of temporal dependencies across frames to reduce redundancy. In this paper, we delve into the inter-frame reference management mechanism in neural video codecs (NVCs). Previous schemes have inherited the ref
Neural video compression (NVC) has achieved significant progress in recent years. The state-of-the-art (SOTA) NVC schemes, exemplified by the Deep Conditional Video Coding series, have focused on pursuing higher fidelity (e.g., PSNR), but lack sufficient exploitation of deep networks' advantages for
Most Neural Video Codecs (NVCs) only employ temporal references to generate temporal-only contexts and latent prior. These temporal-only NVCs fail to handle large motions or emerging objects due to limited contexts and misaligned latent prior. To relieve the limitations, we propose a Spatially Embed…
Efficient video coding is highly dependent on exploiting the temporal redundancy, which is usually achieved by extracting and leveraging the temporal context in the emerging conditional coding-based neural video codec (NVC). Although the latest NVC has achieved remarkable progress in improving the c…
Video compression relies heavily on exploiting the temporal redundancy between video frames, which is usually achieved by estimating and using the motion information. The motion information is represented as optical flows in most of the existing deep video compression networks. Indeed, these network…
