Research Objective: This paper introduces DHVC 2.0, a deep learning-based video codec that utilizes hierarchical predictive learning to achieve high compression efficiency and enable real-time processing on standard GPUs.
Methodology: DHVC 2.0 employs a hierarchical variational autoencoder (VAE) architecture to transform video frames into multiscale feature representations. It then leverages spatial and temporal references from lower scales and previous frames to conditionally encode latent residual variables, eliminating the need for traditional motion estimation and compensation techniques. The hierarchical approach facilitates parallel processing, accelerating encoding and decoding, and supports transmission-friendly progressive decoding.
Key Findings: DHVC 2.0 demonstrates superior compression performance compared to HEVC and other prominent learned video coding methods like DVC, DCVC, and VCT. It also exhibits significantly lower space-time complexity, enabling real-time processing with reduced memory usage on consumer-level GPUs. Additionally, its hierarchical coding structure inherently supports transmission-friendly progressive decoding, beneficial for networked video applications with unstable connectivity.
Main Conclusions: DHVC 2.0 presents a promising solution for neural video compression, offering a compelling combination of high compression efficiency, low complexity, and real-time processing capabilities. Its hierarchical predictive learning approach and transmission-friendly design make it particularly advantageous for various applications, including real-time video services and networked video streaming.
Significance: This research significantly contributes to the field of neural video compression by introducing a novel and efficient codec architecture that outperforms existing methods in compression performance and complexity.
Limitations and Future Research: While DHVC 2.0 shows promising results, further research can explore optimizing its architecture and exploring its potential for integration with other advanced deep learning techniques to further enhance compression efficiency and address challenges in practical deployment scenarios.
