However, the redundant parameters within the network structure can cause a large model size when scaling up for desirable performance. Specifically, we use model pruning and quantization to reduce the model size without significantly deteriorating the performance. videos in neural networks. In our experiments, we train the network using Adam optimizer[26] with learning rate of 5e-4.

Given a frame index, NeRV outputs the corresponding RGB image. Besides video compression, we also explore other applications of the NeRV representation for the video denoising task. Given a noisy video as input, NeRV generates a high-quality denoised output, without any additional operation, and even outperforms conventional denoising methods. With such a representation, we can treat videos as neural networks, simplifying several video-related tasks. We hope that this paper can inspire further research works to design novel class of methods for video representations. Given a frame index, NeRV outputs the corresponding RGB image. 36 PDF Decomposing Motion and Content for Natural Video Sequence Prediction Since most video frames are interval frames, their decoding needs to be done in a sequential manner after the reconstruction of the respective key frames. where b and l are hyper-parameters of the networks. log files (tensorboard, txt, state_dict etc . With such a representation, we show that by simply applying general model compression techniques, NeRV can match the performances of traditional video compression approaches for the video compression task, without the need to design a long and complex pipeline. Given a frame index, NeRV outputs the corresponding RGB image. With such a representation, we can treat videos as neural networks, simplifying several video-related tasks. We propose a novel neural representation for videos (NeRV) which encodes videos in neural networks. First, we use the following command to extract frames from original YUV videos, as well as compressed videos to calculate metrics: Then we use the following commands to compress videos with H.264 or HEVC codec under medium settings: where FILE is the filename, CRF is the Constant Rate Factor value, and EXT is the video container format extension. Unlike conventional representations that treat videos as frame sequences, we represent videos as neural networks taking frame index as input. Recently, the image-wise implicit neural representation of videos, NeRV, has gained popularity for its promising results and swift speed compared to regular pixel-wise implicit. Specifically, median filtering has the best performance among the traditional denoising techniques, while NeRV outperforms it in most cases or is at least comparable without any extra denoising design in both architecture design and training strategy. Finally, we explore the effectiveness of HNeRV on downstream tasks such as video compression and video inpainting. As listed in Table5, the PSNR of NeRV output is usually much higher than the noisy frames although its trained on the noisy target in a fully supervised manner, and has reached an acceptable level for general denoising purpose. where q is the q percentile value for all parameters in . checkpoint/ directory contains some pre-trained model on big buck bunny dataset. This project was partially funded by the DARPA SAIL-ON (W911NF2020009) program, an independent grant from Facebook AI, and Amazon Research Award to AS. It has been widely applied in many 3D vision tasks, such as 3D shapes[16, 15], 3D scenes[45, 25, 37, 6], and appearance of the 3D structure[33, 34, 35]. Then, we present model compression techniques on NeRV in Section3.2 for video compression. Unlike conventional representations that treat videos as frame sequences, we represent videos as neural networks taking frame index as input. Typically, a video captures a dynamic visual scene using a sequence of frames. Figure6 shows the full compression pipeline with NeRV. Video encoding in NeRV is simply fitting a neural network to video frames and decoding process is a simple feedforward operation. Recently, the image-wise implicit neural representation of videos, NeRV, has gained popularity for its promising results and swift speed compared to regular pixel-wise implicit representations. The main differences between our work and image-wise implicit representation are the output space and architecture designs. Before the resurgence of deep networks, handcrafted image compression techniques, like JPEG. Unlike conventional representations that treat PS-NeRV: Patch-wise Stylized Neural Representations for Videos, E-NeRV: Expedite Neural Video Representation with Disentangled If we have a model for all (x,y) pairs, then, given any x, we can easily find the corresponding y state. Inspired by the super-resolution networks, we design the NeRV block, illustrated in Figure, For NeRV, we adopt combination of L1 and SSIM loss as our loss function for network optimization, which calculates the loss over all pixel locations of the predicted image and the ground-truth image as following. i.e., Bilinear Pooling, Transpose Convolution, and PixelShuffle[43]. In contrast, with NeRV, we can use any neural network compression method as a proxy for video compression, and achieve comparable performance to traditional frame-based video compression approaches (H.264, HEVC \etc). DIP emphasizes that its image prior is only captured by the network structure of Convolution operations because it only feeds on a single image.

Deep neural networks have achieved remarkable success for video-based ac Succinct representation of complex signals using coordinate-based neural , which consists of multiple convolutional layers, taking the normalized frame index as the input and output the corresponding RGB frame. As the most popular media format nowadays, videos are generally viewed as frames of sequences. Specifically, in NeRV, we use Positional Encoding[33, 52, 48] as our embedding function. For fair comparison, we train SIREN and FFN for 120 epochs to make encoding time comparable. By contrast, NeRV is able to handle this naturally by keeping training because the full set of consecutive video frames provides a strong regularization on image content over noise. For example, conventional video compression methods are restricted by a long and complex pipeline, specifically designed for the task. There are some limitations with the proposed NeRV. As an image-wise implicit representation, NeRV shares lots of similarities with pixel-wise implicit visual representations[44, 48] which takes spatial-temporal coordinates as inputs. Different output space also leads to different architecture designs, NeRV utilizes a MLP + ConvNets architecture to output an image while pixel-wise representation uses a simple MLP to output the RGB value of the pixel. 70x, the decoding speed by 38x to 132x, while achieving better video quality. In contrast, given a neural network that encodes a video in NeRV, we can simply cast the video compression task as a model compression problem, and trivially leverage any well-established or cutting edge model compression algorithm to achieve good compression ratios. Figure6 shows the results of different pruning ratios, where model of 40% sparsity still reach comparable performance with the full model.

Classical INRs methods generally utilize MLPs to map input coordinates to output pixels. Figure9 shows visualizations for decoding frames. NeRV architecture is illustrated in Figure2, (b). Finally, more advanced and cutting the edge model compression methods can be applied to NeRV and obtain higher compression ratios. Please note that although Transpose convolution[12] reach comparable results, it greatly slowdown the training speed compared to the PixelShuffle.
