Enhancing Video Frame Interpolation: A Depth-Aware UNet with Residual and Attention Mechanisms

Video frame interpolation (VFI) generates intermediate frames to improve video quality and smooth motion. We introduce a Depth-Aware UNet model that enhances VFI through residual and attention blocks, improving feature extraction and focusing on critical areas of frames. The model's encoder-decoder architecture, featuring five convolutional layers to captures higher-level features to achieve a thorough understanding of depth. Our method focuses on leveraging depth information and highlighting key areas to generate more precise and visually coherent interpolation results.
