This repository is an open-source project for video prediction benchmarks, which contains the implementation code for paper:

SimVP: Towards Simple yet Powerful Spatiotemporal Predictive learning
Cheng Tan, Zhangyang Gao, Siyuan Li, Stan Z. Li.

Introduction

This is the journal version of our previous conference work (SimVP: Simpler yet Better Video Prediction, In CVPR 2022).

It is worth noticing that the hidden Translator $h$ in SimVP can be replaced by any MetaFormer block (satisfying the macro design of token mixing and channel mixing).

The performance of SimVPs on the Moving MNIST dataset. For the training time, the less the better. For the inference efficiency (frames per second), the more the better.

Quantitative results of different methods on the Moving MNIST dataset ($10 \rightarrow 10$ frames).
