Good quality video coding for low bit-rate applications is important for transmission over narrow-bandwidth channels and for storage with limited memory capacity. In this work, we develop a previous analysis for image compression at low…
Human perception is at the core of lossy video compression, with numerous approaches developed for perceptual quality assessment and improvement over the past two decades. In the determination of perceptual quality, different…
Classical motion-compensated video coding methods have been standardized by MPEG over the years and video codecs have become integral parts of media entertainment applications. Despite the ubiquitous use of video coding techniques, it is…
To provide users with more realistic visual experiences, videos are developing in the trends of Ultra High Definition (UHD), High Frame Rate (HFR), High Dynamic Range (HDR), Wide Color Gammut (WCG) and high clarity. However, the data amount…
Standardized lossy video coding is at the core of almost all real-world video processing pipelines. Rate control is used to enable standard codecs to adapt to different network bandwidth conditions or storage constraints. However, standard…
Encoding textural content remains a challenge for current standardised video codecs. It is therefore beneficial to understand video textures in terms of both their spatio-temporal characteristics and their encoding statistics in order to…
We propose a rate-distortion optimization method for 3D videos based on visual discomfort estimation. We calculate visual discomfort in the encoded depth maps using two indexes: temporal outliers (TO) and spatial outliers (SO). These two…
Motion compensated prediction is central to the efficiency of video compression. Its predictive coding scheme propagates the quantization distortion through the prediction chain and creates a temporal dependency. Prior research typically…
Recent research has shown that temporal downsampling of high-frame-rate sequences can be exploited to improve the rate-distortion performance in video coding. However, until now, research only targeted downsampling factors of powers of two,…
In order to be able to deliver today's voluminous amount of video contents through limited bandwidth channels in a perceptually optimal way, it is important to consider perceptual trade-offs of compression and space-time downsampling…
Measuring the quality of digital videos viewed by human observers has become a common practice in numerous multimedia applications, such as adaptive video streaming, quality monitoring, and other digital TV applications. Here we explore a…
Video dimensions are continuously increasing to provide more realistic and immersive experiences to global streaming and social media viewers. However, increments in video parameters such as spatial resolution and frame rate are inevitably…
Deep video compression has made significant progress in recent years, achieving rate-distortion performance that surpasses that of traditional video compression methods. However, rate control schemes tailored for deep video compression have…
Video coding is a video compression technique that compresses the original video sequence to produce a smaller archive file or reduce the transmission bandwidth under constraints on the visual quality loss. Rate control (RC) plays a…
We present a new algorithm for video coding, learned end-to-end for the low-latency mode. In this setting, our approach outperforms all existing video codecs across nearly the entire bitrate range. To our knowledge, this is the first…
The alignment of representations from different modalities has recently been shown to provide insights on the structural similarities and downstream capabilities of different encoders across diverse data types. While significant progress…
Recent years have seen a tremendous growth in both the capability and popularity of automatic machine analysis of images and video. As a result, a growing need for efficient compression methods optimized for machine vision, rather than…
A big part of the video content we consume from video providers consists of genres featuring low-light aesthetics. Low light sequences have special characteristics, such as spatio-temporal varying acquisition noise and light flickering,…
In last decade, ever growing internet technologies provided platform to share the multimedia data among different communities. As the ultimate users are human subjects who are concerned about quality of visual information, it is often…
Current state-of-the-art video quality models, such as VMAF, give excellent prediction results by comparing the degraded video with its reference video. However, they do not consider temporal distortions (e.g., frame freezes or skips) that…
