• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Video post-processing methods can improve the quality of compressed videos at the decoder side. Most of the existing methods need to train corresponding models for compressed videos with different quantization parameters to improve the quality of compressed videos. However, in most cases, the quantization parameters of the decoded video are unknown. This makes existing methods have their limitations in improving video quality. To tackle this problem, 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 to adaptively enhance the quality of compressed video with different quantization parameters. Experimental results show that the quality enhancement results of our proposed method on mixed datasets are superior to existing methods.

  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.

  Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful generative method for synthesizing high-quality and diverse set of images. We propose a video generation method based on diffusion models, where the effects of motion are modeled in an implicit condition. We improve the quality of the generated videos by proposing multiple strategies such as sampling space truncation, robustness penalty, and positional group normalization.
