• Abstract: Learning a robust video Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is essential for reducing video redundancy and facilitating efficient video generation. Directly applying image VAEs to individual frames in isolation can result in temporal inconsistencies and suboptimal compression rates due to a lack of temporal compression. Existing Video VAEs have begun to address temporal compression; however, they often suffer from inadequate reconstruction performance. In this paper, we present a novel and powerful video autoencoder capable of high-fidelity video encoding. First, we observe that entangling spatial and temporal compression by merely extending the image VAE to a 3D VAE can introduce motion blur and detail distortion artifacts. Thus, we propose temporal-aware spatial compression to better encode and decode the spatial information. Additionally, we integrate a lightweight motion compression model for further temporal compression. Second, we propose to leverage the textual information inherent in text-to-video datasets and incorporate text guidance into our model. This significantly enhances reconstruction quality, particularly in terms of detail preservation and temporal stability. Third, we further improve the versatility of our model through joint training on both images and videos, which not only enhances reconstruction quality but also enables the model to perform both image and video autoencoding. Extensive evaluations against strong recent baselines demonstrate the superior performance of our method.

  Video Autoencoder (VAE) aims to compress pixel data into low-dimensional latent space, playing an important role in OpenAI's Sora. Most of existing VAEs inflate a pretrained image VAE into the 3D causal structure for temporal-spatial compression. We propose a new KTC architecture and a group causal convolution (GCConv) module to further improve video VAE (IV-VAE)

  We focus on exploiting the unique characteristics of video content and exploring temporal information to enhance compression performance. For long-range temporal information exploitation, we propose temporal prior that can update continuously within the group of pictures (GOP) during inference. In that case temporal prior contains valuable temporal information of all decoded images within the current GOP. In detail, we design a hierarchical structure to achieve multi-scale compensation.

We first show that a simple architecture modeling the entropy between the image latent codes is as competitive as other neural video compression works and video codecs. We then propose a novel internal learning extension on top of this architecture that brings an additional 10% savings without trading off decoding speed.
