NEVC-1.0
(EHVC: Efficient Hierarchical Reference and Quality Structure for Neural Video Coding)
📝 Introduction
This repository provides the pretrained model weights for
NEVC-1.0
, which integrates contributions from
EHVC (Efficient Hierarchical Reference and Quality Structure for Neural Video Coding)
— one of the core components of the framework.
EHVC
introduces a hierarchical reference and quality structure that significantly improves both compression efficiency and rate–distortion performance.
The corresponding code repository can be found here:
NEVC-1.0-EHVC
.
Key designs of
EHVC
include:
Hierarchical multi-reference:
Resolves reference–quality mismatches using a hierarchical reference structure and a multi-reference scheme, optimized for low-delay configurations.
Lookahead mechanism:
Enhances encoder-side context by leveraging forward features, thereby improving prediction accuracy and compression.
Layer-wise quantization scale with random quality training:
Provides a flexible and efficient quality structure that adapts during training, resulting in improved encoding performance.
🔧 Models
EHVC uses two models: the intra model and the inter model.
The
intra model
handles intra-frame coding.
The
inter model
is responsible for inter-frame (predictive) coding.
Intra Model
The main contributions of NEVC-1.0 focus on inter coding.
For intra coding, we directly adopt the pretrained model
cvpr2023_image_psnr.pth.tar
from
DCVC-DC
, without further training.
Inter Model
The inter model of NEVC-1.0 is provided at
/models/nevc1.0_inter.pth.tar
.
The architecture of the inter model is illustrated below:
