Paper accepted: Content-aware Reference Frame Synthesis for Enhanced Inter Prediction

Authors: Mohammad Ghasempour (AAU, Austria), Yiying Wei (AAU, Austria), Hadi Amirpour (AAU, Austria),  and Christian Timmerer (AAU, Austria) Venue: European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) Abstract: Video coding relies heavily on reducing spatial and temporal redundancy to enable efficient transmission. To tackle the temporal redundancy, each video frame is predicted from the previously encoded frames, known as reference […]

Paper accepted: Decoding Complexity-Aware Bitrate-Ladder Estimation for Adaptive VVC Streaming

Authors: Zoha Azimi, Amritha Premkumar, Reza Farahani, Vignesh V Menon, Christian Timmerer, Radu Prodan Venue: 32nd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO’24) Abstract: Traditional per-title encoding approaches aim to maximize perceptual video quality by optimizing resolutions for each bitrate ladder representation. However, ensuring acceptable decoding times in video streaming, especially with the increased runtime complexity of modern […]
