• Abstract: We introduce a video compression algorithm based on instance-adaptive learning. On each video sequence to be transmitted, we finetune a pretrained compression model. The optimal parameters are transmitted to the receiver along with the latent code. By entropy-coding the parameter updates under a suitable mixture model prior, we ensure that the network parameters can be encoded efficiently. This instance-adaptive compression algorithm is agnostic about the choice of base model and has the potential to improve any neural video codec. On UVG, HEVC, and Xiph datasets, our codec improves the performance of a scale-space flow model by between 21% and 27% BD-rate savings, and that of a state-of-the-art B-frame model by 17 to 20% BD-rate savings. We also demonstrate that instance-adaptive finetuning improves the robustness to domain shift. Finally, our approach reduces the capacity requirements of compression models. We show that it enables a competitive performance even after reducing the network size by 70%.

  Neural data compression has been shown to outperform classical methods in terms of $RD$ performance. In this paper we take this concept to the extreme, adapting the full model to a single video, and sending model updates along with the latent representation. We demonstrate that full-model adaptation improves $RD$ performance by 1 dB, with respect to encoder-only finetuning.

  We propose a very simple and efficient video compression framework that only focuses on modeling the conditional entropy between frames. We first show that a simple architecture modeling the entropy between the image latent codes is as competitive as other neural video compression works and video codecs. We then propose a novel internal learning extension on top of this architecture that brings an additional 10% savings without trading off decoding speed.

  In learning-based approaches to image compression, codecs are developed by optimizing a computational model to minimize a rate-distortion objective. We introduce two enhancements, channel-conditioning and latent residual prediction, that lead to network architectures with better rate-distortion performance. At low bit rates, where the improvements are most effective, our model saves up to 18% over the baseline and outperforms hand-engineered codecs like BPG by up to 25%.
