NVIDIA Research develops a neural network to replace traditional video compression

NVIDIA researchers have demonstrated a new type of video compression technology that replaces the traditional video codec with a neural network to drastically reduce video bandwidth. The technology is presented as a potential solution for streaming video in situations where Internet availability is limited, such as using a webcam to chat with clients while on a slow Internet connection. The new technology is made possible using NVIDIA Maxine, a cloud-AI video streaming platform for developers. A...
