• Abstract summary: We show that video stability models tend to fail catastrophically at inference time on long visualizations. We introduce a diagnostic tool which produces adversarial input sequences optimized to trigger instabilities. We then introduce Stable Rank Normalization of the Layers (SRNL), a new algorithm that enforces these constraints.

• Abstract: Recurrent models are becoming a popular choice for video enhancement tasks such as video denoising. In this work, we focus on their stability as dynamical systems and show that they tend to fail catastrophically at inference time on long video sequences. To address this issue, we (1) introduce a diagnostic tool which produces adversarial input sequences optimized to trigger instabilities and that can be interpreted as visualizations of spatio-temporal receptive fields, and (2) propose two approaches to enforce the stability of a model: constraining the spectral norm or constraining the stable rank of its convolutional layers. We then introduce Stable Rank Normalization of the Layers (SRNL), a new algorithm that enforces these constraints, and verify experimentally that it successfully results in stable recurrent video processing.

  Two prominent generative models, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs) GANs suffer from unstable optimization, while VAEs are prone to posterior collapse and over-smoothed generations. We present a conditional denoising diffusion model, which includes a sequence encoder, a cross-attentive denoising decoder, and a step-wise diffuser.

  How to properly model the inter-frame relation within the video sequence is an important but unsolved challenge for video restoration (VR) In this work, we propose an unsupervised flow-aligned sequence-to-sequence model (S2SVR) to address this problem.
