• Abstract: Existing learning-based frame interpolation algorithms extract consecutive frames from high-speed natural videos to train the model. Compared to natural videos, cartoon videos are usually in a low frame rate. Besides, the motion between consecutive cartoon frames is typically nonlinear, which breaks the linear motion assumption of interpolation algorithms. Thus, it is unsuitable for generating a training set directly from cartoon videos. For better adapting frame interpolation algorithms from nature video to animation video, we present AutoFI, a simple and effective method to automatically render training data for deep animation video interpolation. AutoFI takes a layered architecture to render synthetic data, which ensures the assumption of linear motion. Experimental results show that AutoFI performs favorably in training both DAIN and ANIN. However, most frame interpolation algorithms will still fail in error-prone areas, such as fast motion or large occlusion. Besides AutoFI, we also propose a plug-and-play sketch-based post-processing module, named SktFI, to refine the final results using user-provided sketches manually. With AutoFI and SktFI, the interpolated animation frames show high perceptual quality.

  This paper presents a self-supervised approach to video frame learning that requires only a single video. We parameterize the video motions by solving an ordinary differentiable equation (ODE) defined on a time-varying motion field. This implicit neural representation learns the video as a space-time continuum, allowing frame-time continuum at any temporal resolution.

  We propose a motion-guided frame-upsampling framework that is capable of producing realistic human motion and appearance. A novel motion model is trained to inference the non-linear skeletal motion between frames by leveraging a large-scale motion-capture dataset. Our pipeline only requires low-frame-rate videos and unpaired human motion data but does not require high-frame-rate videos for training.

• Texture-aware Video Frame Interpolation [0.0]
  We study the impact of video textures on video frame synthesis, and propose a novel framework where, given an algorithm, separate models are trained on different textures. Our study shows that video texture has significant impact on the performance of frame models and it is beneficial to have separate models specifically adapted to these texture classes, instead of training a single model that tries to learn generic motion.
