High-Fidelity Video Quality Assessment (HFVQA) is a new framework that uses fixed-size spatio‑temporal patches across multiple scales, including the original resolution, to preserve low‑level quality cues and semantic context. It incorporates a lightweight auxiliary network that learns VQA‑specific saliency directly from quality supervision, enabling the model to focus on the most important spatio‑temporal regions. By combining high‑fidelity cues with task‑specific saliency, HFVQA achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on standard no‑reference VQA benchmarks while processing only about 12% of the candidate patches, making it computationally efficient.
TCNeRV is a new implicit neural video compression method that models temporal context in both feature and embedding domains. Its multi‑scale temporal‑context fusion module injects gated historical features across decoder scales, while temporal embedding‑residual coding predicts and encodes only the residual of each content embedding. With about 3 million parameters, TCNeRV achieves an average PSNR of 36.08 dB on the UVG dataset, outperforming HNeRV‑Boost by 2.20 dB and reducing BD‑rate by 22.06%, 66.73%, and 29.85% relative to HM, DCVC, and HiNeRV respectively.

The paper introduces VoRTeC, a video compression framework that leverages a foundational flow model to encode latent video representations compactly and predict their positions along flow trajectories. By integrating multi‑scale priors and avoiding access to flow‑matching network parameters, VoRTeC achieves one‑step decoding with high perceptual fidelity, while maintaining temporal consistency through tail‑frame reuse and prior caching. Experiments show a 58% reduction in bit consumption compared to prior diffusion‑based methods and a decoding speed increase ranging from 3 to 197 times, reaching 13 FPS at 720p and 32 FPS at 480p.
LRConv-NeRV introduces low‑rank separable convolutions into the NeRV neural video decoder, replacing selected dense 3x3 layers to reduce computational load and memory usage. By applying low‑rank factorization progressively from the largest to earlier decoder stages, the method offers controllable trade‑offs between reconstruction quality and efficiency. Experiments show that applying LRConv only to the final decoder stage cuts decoder complexity by 68% and model size by 9.3% with negligible quality loss, while INT8 quantization preserves performance close to the dense baseline.
