FrameRS: A Video Frame Compression Model Composed by Self supervised Video Frame Reconstructor and Key Frame Selector

Qiqian Fu, Guanhong Wang, Gaoang Wang

In this paper, we present frame reconstruction model: FrameRS. It consists self-supervised video frame reconstructor and key frame selector. The frame reconstructor, FrameMAE, is developed by adapting the principles of the Masked Autoencoder for Images (MAE) for video context. The key frame selector, Frame Selector, is built on CNN architecture. By taking the high-level semantic information from the encoder of FrameMAE as its input, it can predicted the key frames with low computation costs. Integrated with our bespoke Frame Selector, FrameMAE can effectively compress a video clip by retaining approximately 30% of its pivotal frames. Performance-wise, our model showcases computational efficiency and competitive accuracy, marking a notable improvement over traditional Key Frame Extract algorithms. The implementation is available on Github
