We present an end-to-end trainable framework for P-frame compression in this paper. A joint motion vector (MV) and residual prediction network MV-Residual is designed to extract the ensembled features of motion representations and residual information by treating the two successive frames as inputs. The prior probability of the latent representations is modeled by a hyperprior autoencoder and trained jointly with the MV-Residual network. Specially, the spatially-displaced convolution is applied for video frame prediction, in which a motion kernel for each pixel is learned to generate predicted pixel by applying the kernel at a displaced location in the source image. Finally, novel rate allocation and post-processing strategies are used to produce the final compressed bits, considering the bits constraint of the challenge. The experimental results on validation set show that the proposed optimized framework can generate the highest MS-SSIM for P-frame compression competition.

One of the core components of conventional (i.e., non-learned) video codecs consists of predicting a frame from a previously-decoded frame, by leveraging temporal correlations. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end learned system for compressing vi deo frames. Instead of relying on pixel-space motion (as with optical flow), our system learns deep embeddings of frames and encodes their difference in latent space. At decoder-side, an attention mechanism is designed to attend to the latent space of frames to decide how different parts of the previous and current frame are combined to form the final predicted current frame. Spatially-varying channel allocation is achieved by using importance masks acting on the feature-channels. The model is trained to reduce the bitrate by minimizing a loss on importance maps and a loss on the probability output by a context model for arithmetic coding. In our experiments, we show that the proposed system achieves high compression rates and high objective visual quality as measured by MS-SSIM and PSNR. Furthermore, we provide ablation studies where we highlight the contribution of different components.

In this paper, we propose a learned video codec with a residual prediction network (RP-Net) and a feature-aided loop filter (LF-Net). For the RP-Net, we exploit the residual of previous multiple frames to further eliminate the redundancy of the curre nt frame residual. For the LF-Net, the features from residual decoding network and the motion compensation network are used to aid the reconstruction quality. To reduce the complexity, a light ResNet structure is used as the backbone for both RP-Net and LF-Net. Experimental results illustrate that we can save about 10% BD-rate compared with previous learned video compression frameworks. Moreover, we can achieve faster coding speed due to the ResNet backbone. This project is available at https://github.com/chaoliu18/RPLVC.

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) can provide rich spatial and spectral information with extensive application prospects. Recently, several methods using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to reconstruct HSIs have been developed. However, most deep learn ing methods fit a brute-force mapping relationship between the compressive and standard HSIs. Thus, the learned mapping would be invalid when the observation data deviate from the training data. To recover the three-dimensional HSIs from two-dimensional compressive images, we present dual-camera equipment with a physics-informed self-supervising CNN method based on a coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging system. Our method effectively exploits the spatial-spectral relativization from the coded spectral information and forms a self-supervising system based on the camera quantum effect model. The experimental results show that our method can be adapted to a wide imaging environment with good performance. In addition, compared with most of the network-based methods, our system does not require a dedicated dataset for pre-training. Therefore, it has greater scenario adaptability and better generalization ability. Meanwhile, our system can be constantly fine-tuned and self-improved in real-life scenarios.

Image compression is one of the most fundamental techniques and commonly used applications in the image and video processing field. Earlier methods built a well-designed pipeline, and efforts were made to improve all modules of the pipeline by handcr afted tuning. Later, tremendous contributions were made, especially when data-driven methods revitalized the domain with their excellent modeling capacities and flexibility in incorporating newly designed modules and constraints. Despite great progress, a systematic benchmark and comprehensive analysis of end-to-end learned image compression methods are lacking. In this paper, we first conduct a comprehensive literature survey of learned image compression methods. The literature is organized based on several aspects to jointly optimize the rate-distortion performance with a neural network, i.e., network architecture, entropy model and rate control. We describe milestones in cutting-edge learned image-compression methods, review a broad range of existing works, and provide insights into their historical development routes. With this survey, the main challenges of image compression methods are revealed, along with opportunities to address the related issues with recent advanced learning methods. This analysis provides an opportunity to take a further step towards higher-efficiency image compression. By introducing a coarse-to-fine hyperprior model for entropy estimation and signal reconstruction, we achieve improved rate-distortion performance, especially on high-resolution images. Extensive benchmark experiments demonstrate the superiority of our model in rate-distortion performance and time complexity on multi-core CPUs and GPUs.

Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in learnt video coding. Most algorithms have solely relied on the vector-based motion representation and resampling (e.g., optical flow based bilinear sampling) for exploiting the inter frame redundancy. In spite of the great success of adaptive kernel-based resampling (e.g., adaptive convolutions and deformable convolutions) in video prediction for uncompressed videos, integrating such approaches with rate-distortion optimization for inter frame coding has been less successful. Recognizing that each resampling solution offers unique advantages in regions with different motion and texture characteristics, we propose a hybrid motion compensation (HMC) method that adaptively combines the predictions generated by these two approaches. Specifically, we generate a compound spatiotemporal representation (CSTR) through a recurrent information aggregation (RIA) module using information from the current and multiple past frames. We further design a one-to-many decoder pipeline to generate multiple predictions from the CSTR, including vector-based resampling, adaptive kernel-based resampling, compensation mode selection maps and texture enhancements, and combines them adaptively to achieve more accurate inter prediction. Experiments show that our proposed inter coding system can provide better motion-compensated prediction and is more robust to occlusions and complex motions. Together with jointly trained intra coder and residual coder, the overall learnt hybrid coder yields the state-of-the-art coding efficiency in low-delay scenario, compared to the traditional H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC, as well as recently published learning-based methods, in terms of both PSNR and MS-SSIM metrics.
