• Title: Task Agnostic Restoration of Natural Video Dynamics
• Authors: Muhammad Kashif Ali, Dongjin Kim, Tae Hyun Kim
• Abstract summary: In many video restoration/translation tasks, image processing operations are na"ively extended to the video domain by processing each frame independently. We propose a general framework for this task that learns to infer and utilize consistent motion dynamics from inconsistent videos to mitigate the temporal flicker. The proposed framework produces SOTA results on two benchmark datasets, DAVIS and videvo.net, processed by numerous image processing applications.

• Abstract: In many video restoration/translation tasks, image processing operations are na\"ively extended to the video domain by processing each frame independently, disregarding the temporal connection of the video frames. This disregard for the temporal connection often leads to severe temporal inconsistencies. State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) techniques that address these inconsistencies rely on the availability of unprocessed videos to implicitly siphon and utilize consistent video dynamics to restore the temporal consistency of frame-wise processed videos which often jeopardizes the translation effect. We propose a general framework for this task that learns to infer and utilize consistent motion dynamics from inconsistent videos to mitigate the temporal flicker while preserving the perceptual quality for both the temporally neighboring and relatively distant frames without requiring the raw videos at test time. The proposed framework produces SOTA results on two benchmark datasets, DAVIS and videvo.net, processed by numerous image processing applications. The code and the trained models are available at \url{https://github.com/MKashifAli/TARONVD}.

  Existing video compression (VC) methods primarily aim to reduce the spatial and temporal redundancies between consecutive frames in a video. Previous works have achieved remarkable results on videos acquired under specific settings such as instant (known) exposure time and shutter speed. In this work, we tackle the VC problem in a general scenario where a given video can be blurry due to predefined camera settings or dynamics in the scene.

  We propose a new zero-shot video-to-video translation framework, named textitLatentWarp. Our approach is simple: to constrain the query tokens to be temporally consistent, we further incorporate a warping operation in the latent space. Experiment results demonstrate the superiority of textitLatentWarp in achieving video-to-video translation with temporal coherence.
