A Video Dataset for Learning-based Visual Data Compression and Analysis

Learning-based visual data compression and analysis have attracted great interest from both academia and industry recently. More training as well as testing datasets, especially good quality video datasets are highly desirable for related research and standardization activities. A UHD video dataset, referred to as Tencent Video Dataset (TVD), is established to serve various purposes such as training neural network-based coding tools and testing machine vision tasks including object detection and segmentation. This dataset contains 86 video sequences with a variety of content coverage. Each video sequence consists of 65 frames at 4K (3840x2160) spatial resolution. In this paper, the details of this dataset, as well as its performance when compressed by VVC and HEVC video codecs, are introduced.
