• Abstract summary: Variational Autoencoder (VAE) compressing videos into latent representations is a crucial component of Latent Video Diffusion Models (LVDMs) Most LVDMs utilize 2D image VAE, whose compression for videos is only in the spatial dimension and often ignored in the temporal dimension. We propose an omni-dimension compression VAE, named OD-VAE, which can temporally and spatially compress videos.

• Abstract: Variational Autoencoder (VAE), compressing videos into latent representations, is a crucial preceding component of Latent Video Diffusion Models (LVDMs). With the same reconstruction quality, the more sufficient the VAE's compression for videos is, the more efficient the LVDMs are. However, most LVDMs utilize 2D image VAE, whose compression for videos is only in the spatial dimension and often ignored in the temporal dimension. How to conduct temporal compression for videos in a VAE to obtain more concise latent representations while promising accurate reconstruction is seldom explored. To fill this gap, we propose an omni-dimension compression VAE, named OD-VAE, which can temporally and spatially compress videos. Although OD-VAE's more sufficient compression brings a great challenge to video reconstruction, it can still achieve high reconstructed accuracy by our fine design. To obtain a better trade-off between video reconstruction quality and compression speed, four variants of OD-VAE are introduced and analyzed. In addition, a novel tail initialization is designed to train OD-VAE more efficiently, and a novel inference strategy is proposed to enable OD-VAE to handle videos of arbitrary length with limited GPU memory. Comprehensive experiments on video reconstruction and LVDM-based video generation demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed methods.

  Currently, video transmission serves not only the Human Visual System (HVS) for viewing but also machine perception for analysis. We propose a Compression Distortion Embedding (CDRE) framework, which extracts machine-perception-related distortion representation and embeds it into downstream models. Our framework can effectively boost the rate-task performance of existing codecs with minimal overhead in terms of execution time, and number of parameters.

We propose replacing the conventional encoder-decoder video embedder with an encoder-generator framework.

Our new compression model, which we call the Foveated MOtionless VIdeo Codec (Foveated MOVI-Codec), is able to efficiently compress videos without computing motion.
