| Zusammenfassung: | Video frame interpolation (VFI) aims to generate predictive frames by motion-warping from bidirectional references. Most examples of VFI utilize spatiotemporal semantic information to realize motion estimation and interpolation. However, due to variable acceleration, irregular movement trajectories, and camera movement in real-world cases, they can not be sufficient to deal with non-linear middle frame estimation. In this paper, we present a reformulation of the VFI as a joint non-linear motion regression (JNMR) strategy to model the complicated inter-frame motions. Specifically, the motion trajectory between the target frame and multiple reference frames is regressed by a temporal concatenation of multi-stage quadratic models. Then, a comprehensive joint distribution is constructed to connect all temporal motions. Moreover, to reserve more contextual details for joint regression, the feature learning network is devised to explore clarified feature expressions with dense skip-connection. Later, a coarse-to-fine synthesis enhancement module is utilized to learn visual dynamics at different resolutions with multi-scale textures. The experimental VFI results show the effectiveness and significant improvement of joint motion regression over the state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at https://github.com/ruhig6/JNMR |
