About this paper

Bolin Chen, Ru-Ling Liao, Jie Chen, Yan Ye

Researchers at Alibaba DAMO Academy developed Implicit Motion Transformation (IMT), a new paradigm for generative video coding that implicitly models motion dynamics within compact feature representations for human body videos. IMT achieves up to 72.46% bitrate savings over VVC while producing perceptually superior reconstructed video sequences.

Key insights

  • Motion information can be effectively encoded as implicit transformations within learned feature representations, capturing higher-level motion semantics.
  • Implicit motion modeling, leveraging cross-attention, addresses limitations of explicit motion estimation in complex human body videos.
  • Direct GAN-based generation from transformed features avoids motion estimation errors common in warp-based reconstruction schemes.
