Bidirectional, occlusion-aware temporal frame interpolation in a highly scalable video setting

Occlusion-aware temporal frame interpolation in a highly scalable video coding setting

“…In our previous work [12], we have shown preliminary results of the proposed BOA-TFI method on synthetic sequences, and have highlighted the quality of the proposed method in occluded regions. In this work, we significantly enhance the evaluation of the proposed method both qualitatively and quantitatively on various high-resolution natural sequences (Section VIII.A), and compare our performance with two state-of-the-art TFI methods [6,7].…”

“…With respect to its conference version [12], in this paper we report on improvements that have made the proposed scheme more robust; we also give a much more detailed description of the fundamental concepts of the proposed TFI scheme. Furthermore, we provide a more extensive experimental validation on a large variety of natural sequences, as well as very challenging computer-generated sequences, which turn out to be more difficult than most common natural test sequences.…”

“…In [12], we have shown how the bidirectional hierarchical anchoring (BIHA) framework naturally lends itself to TFI when all information at a certain temporal level is quantized to zero. The present paper represents an extension of this earlier conference paper.…”
