🔮 Cool-chic 4.1.0: Revisiting temporal prediction! 🔮
Cool-chic 4.1 focuses on video coding, improving particularly the temporal
prediction through better and lighter sub-pixel motion compensation. This
release is linked to the following paper: Efficient Sub-pixel Motion Compensation in Learned Video Codecs, Ladune et al..
- Replace 2-tap bilinear filtering with sinc-based 8-tap filters
- Decode motion fields at 1/4 of the frame resolution for lighter decoding complexity
- Improved video compression performance: -23.6% rate versus Cool-chic 4.0
- Decrease motion-related complexity by 45%, from 391 to 214 MAC / decoded pixel
