A Neural Enhancement Post-Processor with a Dynamic AV1 Encoder Configuration Strategy for CLIC 2024

31 Jan 2024  ·  Darren Ramsook, Anil Kokaram ·

At practical streaming bitrates, traditional video compression pipelines frequently lead to visible artifacts that degrade perceptual quality. This submission couples the effectiveness of a neural post-processor with a different dynamic optimsation strategy for achieving an improved bitrate/quality compromise. The neural post-processor is refined via adversarial training and employs perceptual loss functions. By optimising the post-processor and encoder directly our method demonstrates significant improvement in video fidelity. The neural post-processor achieves substantial VMAF score increases of +6.72 and +1.81 at bitrates of 50 kb/s and 500 kb/s respectively.
