Deep Predictive Video Compression with Bi-directional Prediction

Understand

Recently, deep image compression has shown a big progress in terms of coding efficiency and image quality improvement.

• However, relatively less attention has been put on video compression using deep learning networks.
• In the paper, we first propose a deep learning based bi-predictive coding network, called BP-DVC Net, for video compression.
• Learned from the lesson of the conventional video coding, a B-frame coding structure is incorporated in our BP-DVC Net.
