In some embodiments, a method sends information for a sample of content, a first question, and a second question for output on an interface. The first question receives, from a subject, a first response for a sample level rating for an artifact that is perceived to be visible in the sample and the second question receives, from the subject, a second response for regions in the sample that are perceived to contain the artifact. The method receives the first response for the sample level rating and the second response for regions that are perceived to contain the artifact. First responses are combined from multiple subjects to generate an opinion score for the sample and second responses are combined to generate region scores for regions. The method generates training data from the opinion score and the region scores to train a process to perform an action based on the artifacts.

Subjective quality assessment tool for image/video artifacts

A system includes a machine learning (ML) model-based video encoder configured to receive an uncompressed video sequence including multiple video frames, determine, from among the multiple video frames, a first video frame subset and a second video frame subset, encode the first video frame subset to produce a first compressed video frame subset, and identify a first decompression data for the first compressed video frame subset. The ML model-based video encoder is further configured to encode the second video frame subset to produce a second compressed video frame subset, and identify a second decompression data for the second compressed video frame subset. The first decompression data is specific to decoding the first compressed video frame subset but not the second compressed video frame subset, and the second decompression data is specific to decoding the second compressed video frame subset but not the first compressed video frame subset.

Microdosing for low bitrate video compression

In some embodiments, a system includes a first component to extract temporal features from a current frame being coded and a previous frame of a video. A second component uses a first transformer to fuse spatial features from the current frame with the temporal features to generate spatio-temporal features as first output. A third component uses a second transformer to perform entropy coding using the first output and at least a portion of the temporal features to generate a second output. A fourth component uses a third transformer to reconstruct the current frame based on the first output that is processed using the second output and the temporal features.

Contextual video compression framework with spatial-temporal cross-covariance transformers

A system includes a machine learning (ML) model-based video downsampler configured to receive an input video sequence having a first display resolution, and to map the input video sequence to a lower resolution video sequence having a second display resolution lower than the first display resolution. The system also includes a neural network-based (NN-based) proxy video codec configured to transform the lower resolution video sequence into a decoded proxy bitstream. In addition, the system includes an upsampler configured to produce an output video sequence using the decoded proxy bitstream.

Codec rate distortion compensating downsampler

A system processing hardware executes a machine learning (ML) model-based video compression encoder to receive uncompressed video content and corresponding motion compensated video content, compare the uncompressed and motion compensated video content to identify an image space residual, transform the image space residual to a latent space representation of the uncompressed video content, and transform, using a trained image compression ML model, the motion compensated video content to a latent space representation of the motion compensated video content. The ML model-based video compression encoder further encodes the latent space representation of the image space residual to produce an encoded latent residual, encodes, using the trained image compression ML model, the latent space representation of the motion compensated video content to produce an encoded latent video content, and generates, using the encoded latent residual and the encoded latent video content, a compressed video content corresponding to the uncompressed video content.
