Disney patents video decoding that blends frame and group data
Disney describes a method for decoding video using a neural network that combines specific details from a single frame with broader features from a group of frames. The system adjusts the importance of these two data types using specific weights to fine-tune how the video is reconstructed.
In the filing’s own words
There is provides a neural network-based video decoding method including receiving a latent feature corresponding to a compressed version of a first video frame of a first plurality of a plurality of video frames included in a video content, the latent feature being a combination of a weighted frame-specific embedding of the first video frame with weighted one or more group-of-pictures (GOP) features of the first plurality of the plurality of video frames, wherein the weighted frame-specific embedding is a product of applying a first weight to a frame-specific embedding and the weighted one or more GOP features are products of applying a second weight to the one or more GOP features, wherein the first weight and the second weight are selected as levers for content-specific fine-tuning. The method also including decoding the latent feature to provide an uncompressed video frame corresponding to the first video frame
