• Abstract: With the prosperity of digital video industry, video frame interpolation has arisen continuous attention in computer vision community and become a new upsurge in industry. Many learning-based methods have been proposed and achieved progressive results. Among them, a recent algorithm named quadratic video interpolation (QVI) achieves appealing performance. It exploits higher-order motion information (e.g. acceleration) and successfully models the estimation of interpolated flow. However, its produced intermediate frames still contain some unsatisfactory ghosting, artifacts and inaccurate motion, especially when large and complex motion occurs. In this work, we further improve the performance of QVI from three facets and propose an enhanced quadratic video interpolation (EQVI) model. In particular, we adopt a rectified quadratic flow prediction (RQFP) formulation with least squares method to estimate the motion more accurately. Complementary with image pixel-level blending, we introduce a residual contextual synthesis network (RCSN) to employ contextual information in high-dimensional feature space, which could help the model handle more complicated scenes and motion patterns. Moreover, to further boost the performance, we devise a novel multi-scale fusion network (MS-Fusion) which can be regarded as a learnable augmentation process. The proposed EQVI model won the first place in the AIM2020 Video Temporal Super-Resolution Challenge.

  conditional image-to-video (cI2V) generation is to create a believable new video by beginning with the condition, i.e., one image and text. Previous cI2V generation methods conventionally perform in RGB pixel space, with limitations in modeling motion consistency and visual continuity. We propose a novel approach by disentangling the target RGB pixels into two distinct components: spatial content and temporal motions.

  We propose a simple yet effective solution, H-VFI, to deal with large motions in video frame. H-VFI contributes a hierarchical video transformer to learn a deformable kernel in a coarse-to-fine strategy. The advantage of such a progressive approximation is that the large motion frame problem can be predicted into several relatively simpler sub-tasks.

  Video snapshot imaging (SCI) utilizes a 2D detector to capture sequential video frames and compress them into a single measurement.

We propose a flexible and robust approach based on the graph neural network (GNN) to efficiently model non-local interactions between pixels in space and time regardless of the distance.

We propose to approximate the per-pixel motion using a space-time convolution network that is able to adaptively select the motion model to be used.
