Research on Deep Compression Method of Expressway Video Based on Content Value

Aiming at the problem that the storage space and network bandwidth of expressway surveillance video are occupied largely due to data redundancy and sparse information, this paper proposes a deep compression method of expressway video depth based on content value. Firstly, the YOLOv4 algorithm is used to analyze the content value of the original video, extract video frames with vehicle information, and eliminate unintentional frames. An improved CNN is then designed by adding Feature Pyramids and the Inception module to accelerate the extraction and fusion of features at all levels and improve the performance of image classification and prediction. Finally, the whole model is integrated into HEVC encoder for compressing the preprocessed video. The experimental results show that at the expense of only a 5.96% increase of BD-BR, and only a 0.19 dB loss of BD-PSNR, the proposed method achieves a 64% compression ratio and can save 62.82% coding time compared with other classic data compression methods based on deep learning.
