• Abstract: Video frame interpolation task has recently become more and more prevalent in the computer vision field. At present, a number of researches based on deep learning have achieved great success. Most of them are either based on optical flow information, or interpolation kernel, or a combination of these two methods. However, these methods have ignored that there are grid restrictions on the position of kernel region during synthesizing each target pixel. These limitations result in that they cannot well adapt to the irregularity of object shape and uncertainty of motion, which may lead to irrelevant reference pixels used for interpolation. In order to solve this problem, we revisit the deformable convolution for video interpolation, which can break the fixed grid restrictions on the kernel region, making the distribution of reference points more suitable for the shape of the object, and thus warp a more accurate interpolation frame. Experiments are conducted on four datasets to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed model in comparison to the state-of-the-art alternatives.

  Current image-to-video diffusion models, while powerful in generating videos from a single frame, need adaptation for two-frame conditioned generation. We introduce a novel, bidirectional sampling strategy to address these off-manifold issues without requiring extensive re-noising or fine-tuning. Our method employs sequential sampling along both forward and backward paths, conditioned on the start and end frames, respectively, ensuring more coherent and on-manifold generation of intermediate frames.

NCM is performed in a current-frame-agnostic fashion to establish multi-scale correspondences in the spatial-temporal neighborhoods of each pixel. coarse-scale module is designed to leverage neighbor correspondences to capture large motion, while the fine-scale module is more efficient to speed up the estimation process.

  We propose a deep Recurrent Neural Network with Multi-scale Bi-directional Propagation (RNN-MBP) to propagate and gather information from unaligned neighboring frames for better video deblurring. To better evaluate the proposed algorithm and existing state-of-the-art methods on real-world blurry scenes, we also create a Real-World Blurry Video dataset. The proposed algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods on three typical benchmarks.

  Video frame aims at synthesizing intermediate frames from nearby source frames while maintaining spatial and temporal consistencies. Existing deeplearning-based video frame methods can be divided into two categories: flow-based methods and kernel-based methods. A novel mechanism named generalized deformable convolution is proposed, which can effectively learn motion in a data-driven manner and freely select sampling points in space-time.
