There’s been a surge in adoption of video conferencing applications for both personal and business use cases. However, the bandwidth limitations faced by many users worldwide may restrict the optimal use of such applications. Although deep learning offers a solution for enhancing low bit rate videos, most models today are either hard to incorporate with modern compression standards or require specialized hardware to run such as significant GPUs making these models impractical. To address these issues, we introduce the Realtime Face Video Enhancement (RTFVE) model which can be easily incorporated with any video decoder and can run in realtime on ordinary CPUs. Experiments show that our model improves perceptual quality over the compressed video baseline at multiple low bitrate settings.

摘要

There’s been a surge in adoption of video conferencing applications for both personal and business use cases. However, the bandwidth limitations faced by many users worldwide may restrict the optimal use of such applications. Although deep learning offers a solution for enhancing low bit rate videos, most models today are either hard to incorporate with modern compression standards or require specialized hardware to run such as significant GPUs making these models impractical. To address these issues, we introduce the Realtime Face Video Enhancement (RTFVE) model which can be easily incorporated with any video decoder and can run in realtime on ordinary CPUs. Experiments show that our model improves perceptual quality over the compressed video baseline at multiple low bitrate settings.
