Deep Video Compression for Interframe Coding

A typical learning-based video compression scheme consists of motion coding and residual coding. In this paper, our deep video compression features a motion predictor and refinement networks for interframe coding. To save the bits for transmitting motion information, our scheme performs local motion prediction and sends only the differential motion vectors to the decoder. In the residual coding, we couple the residual decoder with the refine-net to reduce residual signal bits. The experiments show that our work can produce a very competitive coding performance compared to the other learning-based predictive video codecs.
