Speech Title: Deep Learning for In-Loop Filter Design in HEVC
Abstract: In-loop filters have been employed to reduce coding artifacts in the recent video coding standards including the latest High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. However, in the existing approaches, an in-loop filter is always applied to each single frame, without exploiting the content correlation among multiple frames. In the talk, we introduce a multiframe in-loop filter (MIF) for HEVC, which enhances the visual quality of each encoded frame by leveraging its adjacent frames. Extensive experiments show that the MIF approach achieves 11.621% saving of the Bjøntegaard delta bit-rate (BDBR) on the test set, significantly outperforming the standard in-loop filter in HEVC and other state-ofthe-art approaches. The talk is based on our recent work entitled “A Deep Learning Approach for MultiFrame In-Loop Filter of HEVC” in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (in press, https://github.com/tianyili2017/HIF-Database).
