In recent years, neural network-based image compression techniques have been able to outperform traditional codecs and have opened the gates for the development of learning-based video codecs. However, to take advantage of the high temporal…
Although equirectangular projection (ERP) is a convenient form to store omnidirectional images (also known as 360-degree images), it is neither equal-area nor conformal, thus not friendly to subsequent visual communication. In the context…
Every day around the world, interminable terabytes of data are being captured for surveillance purposes. A typical 1-2MP CCTV camera generates around 7-12GB of data per day. Frame-by-frame processing of such enormous amount of data requires…
Standard video codecs rely on optical flow to guide inter-frame prediction: pixels from reference frames are moved via motion vectors to predict target video frames. We propose to learn binary motion codes that are encoded based on an input…
