Unified Generative Video Compression with Autoregressive and Bidirectional Video Diffusion

To support both stages, we present UniGVC, a Unified Generative Video Codec that supports two decoding modes from a single bitstream.

Key points

  • Video diffusion models can reconstruct visually compelling content from severely compressed representations at ultra-low bitrates, but they impose a rigid deployment trade-off.
  • Bidirectional (BI) models achieve high quality through dense full-sequence attention, yet require the entire sequence before reconstruction and incur substantial latency.
  • Autoregressive (AR) models enable low-delay streaming, but their restricted temporal context reduces compression efficiency.
  • UniGVC-BI employs a BI-DiT with dense attention for quality-oriented random-access decoding, whereas UniGVC-AR uses windowed AR-DiT for low-delay streaming.
