Abstract
Neural networks can be used in video coding to im- prove chroma intra-prediction. In particular, usage of fully- connected networks has enabled better cross-component pre- diction with respect to traditional linear models. Nonetheless, state-of-the-art architectures tend to disregard the location of individual reference samples in the prediction process. This paper proposes a new neural network architecture for cross-component intra-prediction. The network uses a novel attention module to model spatial relations between reference and predicted samples. The proposed approach is integrated into the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) prediction pipeline. Experimental results demonstrate compression gains over the latest VVC anchor compared with state-of-the-art chroma intra-prediction methods based on neural networks.
