This paper proposes a super-resolution framework that improves the coding efficiency of computer-generated gaming videos at low bitrates. Most state-of-the-art super-resolution networks generalize over a variety of RGB inputs and use a unified network architecture for frames of different levels of degradation, leading to high complexity and redundancy. Since games usually consist of a limited number of fixed scenarios, we specialize one model for each scenario and assign appropriate network capacities for different QPs to perform super-resolution under the guidance of reconstructed high-quality luma components. Experimental results show that our framework achieves a superior quality-complexity trade-off compared to the ESRnet baseline, saving at most 93.59\% parameters while maintaining comparable performance. The compression efficiency compared to HEVC is also improved by more than 17\% BD-rate gain.", optnote="LAMP; MACO", optnote="exported from refbase (http://158.109.8.37/show.php?record=3911), last updated on Fri, 19 Jan 2024 13:01:15 +0100", doi="10.1109/ICASSP49357.2023.10096031", opturl="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10096031" }
