contents This paper studies an end-to-end video semantic communication system for massive communication. In the considered system, the transmitter must continuously send the video to the receiver to facilitate character reconstruction in immersive applications, such as interactive video conference. However, transmitting the original video information with substantial amounts of data poses a challenge to the limited wireless resources. To address this issue, we reduce the amount of data transmitted by making the transmitter extract and send the semantic information from the video, which refines the major object and the correlation of time and space in the video. Specifically, we first develop a video semantic communication system based on major object extraction (MOE) and contextual video encoding (CVE) to achieve efficient video transmission. Then, we design the MOE and CVE modules with convolutional neural network based motion estimation, contextual extraction and entropy coding. Simulation results show that compared to the traditional coding schemes, the proposed method can reduce the amount of transmitted data by up to 25% while increasing the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the reconstructed video by up to 14%.
