摘要

The continuous rise in consumer demand for high-quality video delivery has driven the need for constant improvements in existing video compression solutions. In response, recent years have seen a trend toward integrating deep learning techniques to enhance the performance of video codecs. This paper presents the findings from a collaborative study within the Moving Picture, Audio, and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI) standards organization, aimed at enhancing the quality of Essential Video Coding (MPEG5-EVC). The study reports the performance of a framework that integrates two AI-based tools—super-resolution and intra-prediction enhancement—into the baseline profile of the EVC standard, resulting in a 26% improvement in BD-rate video quality.
