New method boosts neural video codec generalization

Researchers have developed a novel Training-Free Scale-Driven Online Flow Refinement (SOFR) method to enhance the generalization capabilities of neural video codecs (NVCs). This plug-and-play module integrates motion information from multiple scales and dynamically fuses it to correct motion estimation errors with minimal computational cost. SOFR also incorporates a rate-aware strategy and a reliability check for robustness, demonstrating significant bitrate savings on the USTC-TD dataset across various NVC frameworks like DCVC-SDD, DCVC-FM, and EHVC.

    Boosting Neural Video Codec via Scale-Driven Online Flow Refinement

    Although state-of-the-art neural video codecs (NVCs) have achieved remarkable performance, they suffer from limited generalization when encountering complex motion patterns unseen during training. To bridge this domain gap without the expensive cost of online fine-tuning, we prop…
