Spatio-Temporal Convolutional Neural Network for Enhanced Inter Prediction in Video Coding.

This paper presents a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based enhancement to inter prediction in Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Our approach aims at improving the prediction signal of inter blocks with a residual CNN that incorporates spatial and temporal reference samples. It is motivated by the theoretical consideration that neural network-based methods have a higher degree of signal adaptivity than conventional signal processing methods and that spatially neighboring reference samples have the potential to improve the prediction signal by adapting it to the reconstructed signal in its immediate vicinity.

Region-based Template Matching Prediction for Intra Coding.

Copy prediction is a renowned category of prediction techniques in video coding where the current block is predicted by copying the samples from a similar block that is present somewhere in the already decoded stream of samples. Motion-compensated prediction, intra block copy, template matching prediction etc. are examples.

A Signal Adaptive Prediction Filter for Video Coding Using Directional Total Variation: Mathematical Framework and Parameter Selection.

In this paper we combine video compression and modern image processing methods. Iterative filter methods for prediction signals based on classic inpainting methods are introduced and extensive parameter tests are described. In order to construct an alternative prediction filter for video coding, techniques originally employed for inpainting are applied.

3D high-efficiency video coding for multi-view video and depth data.

This paper describes an extension of the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard for coding of multi-view video and depth data. In addition to the known concept of disparity-compensated prediction, inter-view motion parameter, and inter-view residual prediction for coding of the dependent video views are developed and integrated. Furthermore, for depth coding, new intra coding modes, a modified motion compensation and motion vector coding as well as the concept of motion parameter inheritance are part of the HEVC extension.
