Group-of-Latents: Perceptual Video Compression at Extreme Bitrates via Masked Latent Generative Modeling
Shaokang Wang, Jinchang Xu, Peidong Jia, Zhijian Hao, Siyuan Qian, Fei Zhao, et al.
Most existing video compression algorithms follow a paradigm of transformation and quantization, optimizing the trade-off between distortion and bitrate. However, extremely low-bitrate compression remains an underexplored frontier where perceptual quality optimization under sever…
