Learned Image Restoration for VVC Intra Coding
AbstractWe propose a learned image restoration network as the post-processing module for emerging Versatile Video Coding (VVC) Intra Profile (https://jvet.hhi.fraunhofer.de) based image coding to further improve the reconstructed image quality. The image restoration network is designed using multi-scale spatial priors to effectively alleviate compression artifacts in the decoded images induced by the quantization based lossy compression algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate the performance gains of our proposed post-porcessing network with VVC Intra coding, offering about 6.5% Bjontegaard-Delta Rate (BD-Rate) reduction for YUV 4:4:4 and 12.2% for YUV 4:2:0, against the VVC Intra without our restoration network on the Test Dataset P/M released by the Computer Vision Lab of ETH Zurich, where the distortion is Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
