Video Compression is a process of reducing the size of an image or video file by exploiting spatial and temporal redundancies within an image or video frame and across multiple video frames. The ultimate goal of a successful Video Compression system is to reduce data volume while retaining the perceptual quality of the decompressed data.
Weighted Recurrent Quality Enhancement, or WRQE, is a recurrent quality enhancement network for video compression that takes both compressed frames and the bit stream as inputs. In the recurrent cell of WRQE, the memory and update signal are weighted by quality features to reasonably leverage multi-frame information for enhancement.
