An image to tailor: I-Frame Domain Adaptation in Neural Video Compression

Alberto Presta · Gabriele Spadaro · Attilio Fiandrotti · Marco Grangetto


Abstract:

Neural video compression (NVC) models recently outperformed traditional methods.They typically include an I-Frame codec for Intra-Frames and a P-Frame codec for P-frames. However, their performance may be far from optimal with data outside the training set. We propose domain adaptation (DA) in NVC using lightweight convolutional adapters inserted in the I-Frame decoder of a pre-trained NVC model, which are then fine-tuned. These adapters shift knowledge to a specific domain without altering the architecture or causing catastrophic forgetting. They enhance compression for both I-frames and P-frames while using minimal parameters with respect to the entire architecture, improving NVC robustness.
