Abstract: Quality assessment plays a key role in creating and comparing video compression algorithms. Despite the development of a large number of new methods for assessing quality, generally accepted and well-known codecs comparisons mainly use the classical methods like PSNR, SSIM and new method VMAF. These methods can be calculated following different rules: they can use different frame-by-frame averaging techniques or different summation of color components. In this paper, a fundamental comparison of various versions of generally accepted metrics is carried out to find the most relevant and recommended versions of video quality metrics to be used in codecs comparisons. For comparison, we used a set of videos encoded with video codecs of different standards, and visual quality scores collected for the resulting set of streams since 2018 until 2021

The Practice of Averaging Rate-Distortion Curves over Testsets to Compare Learned Video Codecs Can Cause Misleading Conclusions [7.714092783675679]
We show how averaged rate-distortion curves can mislead comparative evaluation of different codecs. A single video with distinct RD characteristics from the rest of the test set can disproportionately influence the average curve. We argue that the learned video compression community should also report per-sequence RD curves and performance metrics for a test set.

A Diffusion Model Based Quality Enhancement Method for HEVC Compressed Video [11.741515336773643]
This work proposes a diffusion model based post-processing method for compressed videos. The proposed method first estimates the feature vectors of the compressed video and then uses the estimated feature vectors as the prior information for the quality enhancement model. Experimental results show that the quality enhancement results of our proposed method on mixed datasets are superior to existing methods.

EvalCrafter: Benchmarking and Evaluating Large Video Generation Models [70.19437817951673]
We argue that it is hard to judge the large conditional generative models from the simple metrics since these models are often trained on very large datasets with multi-aspect abilities. Our approach involves generating a diverse and comprehensive list of 700 prompts for text-to-video generation. Then, we evaluate the state-of-the-art video generative models on our carefully designed benchmark, in terms of visual qualities, content qualities, motion qualities, and text-video alignment with 17 well-selected objective metrics.

Video Compression with Arbitrary Rescaling Network [8.489428003916622]
We propose a rate-guided arbitrary rescaling network (RARN) for video resizing before encoding. The lightweight RARN structure can process FHD (1080p) content at real-time speed (91 FPS) and obtain a considerable rate reduction.

Perceptual Quality Assessment of Face Video Compression: A Benchmark and An Effective Method [69.868145936998]
Generative coding approaches have been identified as promising alternatives with reasonable perceptual rate-distortion trade-offs. The great diversity of distortion types in spatial and temporal domains, ranging from the traditional hybrid coding frameworks to generative models, present grand challenges in compressed face video quality assessment (VQA) We introduce the large-scale Compressed Face Video Quality Assessment (CFVQA) database, which is the first attempt to systematically understand the perceptual quality and diversified compression distortions in face videos.

Content Adaptive and Error Propagation Aware Deep Video Compression [110.31693187153084]
We propose a content adaptive and error propagation aware video compression system. Our method employs a joint training strategy by considering the compression performance of multiple consecutive frames instead of a single frame. Instead of using the hand-crafted coding modes in the traditional compression systems, we design an online encoder updating scheme in our system.
