Idea
A video compression platform using implicit neural representations to deliver faster encoding and higher quality for media companies and streaming services.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces Rabbit NeRV (RNeRV), an implicit neural representation configuration that achieves higher PSNR with equal training time compared to prior methods. It also leverages hyper-networks to predict INR weights, enabling real-time encoding and improving both compression speed and quality. These advances address the trade-off between encoding speed and video quality in INR-based compression.
