Flow-Guided Temporal-Spatial Network for HEVC Compressed Video Quality Enhancement

In this paper, a flow-guided temporal-spatial network (FGTSN) is proposed to enhance the quality of HEVC compressed video. Specifically, we first employ a robust motion estimation subnet via trainable optical flow module to estimate the motion flow between the target frame and its adjacent frames, and these adjacent frames are pre-warped guided by the predicted motion flow. Then, a temporal encoder is proposed to fuse the related information between the target frame and its pre-warped frames. Finally, a quality enhancement subnet with multi-scale encoder-decoder structure is designed to generate high quality frame by training the network in a multi-supervised fashion. Experimental results show the superior performance of our proposed FGTSN method for the reconstruction quality of HEVC compressed frames, much better than the state-of-the-art quality enhancement methods. In addition, our FGTSN method can also effectively mitigate the quality fluctuation of adjacent frames.
