Conditional Coding and Variable Bitrate for Practical Learned Video Coding
This paper introduces a practical learned video codec. Conditional coding and quantization gain vectors are used to provide flexibility to a single encoder/decoder pair, which is able to compress video sequences at a variable bitrate. The flexibility is leveraged at test time by choosing the rate and GOP structure to optimize a rate-distortion cost. Using the CLIC21 video test conditions, the proposed approach shows performance on par with HEVC.

Flexible Neural Image Compression via Code Editing
Neural image compression (NIC) has outperformed traditional image codecs in rate-distortion (R-D) performance. However, it usually requires a dedicated encoder-decoder pair for each point on R-D curve, which greatly hind…
