Abstract
This paper introduces a practical learned video codec. Conditional coding and quantization gain vectors are used to provide flexibility to a single encoder/decoder pair, which is able to compress video sequences at a variable bitrate. The flexibility is leveraged at test time by choosing the rate and GOP structure to optimize a rate-distortion cost. Using the CLIC21 video test conditions, the proposed approach shows performance on par with HEVC.
