Abstract:

Recently, deep learning technology has made significant progresses in high efficiency video coding (HEVC), especially in in-loop filter. In this paper, we propose a dense inception attention network (DIA_Net) to delve into image information and model capacity. The DIA_Net contains multiple inception blocks which have different size kernels so as to dig out various scales information. Meanwhile, attention mechanism including spatial attention and channel attention is utilized to fully exploit feature information. Further we adopt a dense residual structure to deepen the network. We attach DIA_Net to the end of in-loop filter part in HEVC as a post-processor and apply it to luma components. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed DIA_Net has remarkable improvement over the standard HEVC. With all-intra(AI) and random access(RA) configurations, It achieves 8.2% bd-rate reduction in AI configuration and 5.6% bd-rate reduction in RA configuration.
