• Authors: Ho Man Kwan, Fan Zhang, Andrew Gower, David Bull
• Abstract summary: MV-HiNeRV is an enhanced version of a state-of-the-art INR-based video, HiNeRV. We have modified the model to learn a different group of feature grids for each view, and share the learnt network parameters among all views. The proposed was used to compress multiview texture and depth video in the MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) Common Test Conditions. The results demonstrate the superior performance of MV-HiNeRV, superior with significant coding gains (up to 72.33%) over TMIV.

• Abstract: Recent work on implicit neural representations (INRs) has evidenced their potential for efficiently representing and encoding conventional video content. In this paper we, for the first time, extend their application to immersive (multi-view) videos, by proposing MV-HiNeRV, a new INR-based immersive video codec. MV-HiNeRV is an enhanced version of a state-of-the-art INR-based video codec, HiNeRV, which was developed for single-view video compression. We have modified the model to learn a different group of feature grids for each view, and share the learnt network parameters among all views. This enables the model to effectively exploit the spatio-temporal and the inter-view redundancy that exists within multi-view videos. The proposed codec was used to compress multi-view texture and depth video sequences in the MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) Common Test Conditions, and tested against the MIV Test model (TMIV) that uses the VVenC video codec. The results demonstrate the superior performance of MV-HiNeRV, with significant coding gains (up to 72.33\%) over TMIV. The implementation of MV-HiNeRV is published for further development and evaluation.

  Cross-Modality Video Coding (CMVC) is a pioneering approach to explore multimodality representation and video generative models in video coding. During decoding, previously encoded components and video generation models are leveraged to create multiple encoding-decoding modes.
