  • image and video coding schemes usually employ block-based prediction, including motion vector prediction, and transform to leverage spatial and temporal redundancy in the video content.
  • block-based prediction including motion vector prediction, and transform
  • intra or inter prediction is used to exploit the intra or inter frame correlation, then the differences between the original block and the predicted block, often denoted as prediction errors or prediction residuals, are transformed, quantized, and entropy coded.

  • motion compensated temporal prediction is employed to exploit the redundancy that exists between successive pictures of a video.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a simple neural network used for implicit neural representation (INR).
  • INR implicit neural representation
  • Such a neural network used for INR can be referred to as an INR network.
  • INR parameterizes a signal as a function 199, which takes coordinates 111 as input and outputs values 121 of a signal at these coordinates.
  • INR has recently been applied to image, videos or 3D objects among other applications.
  • the input coordinates may be modified by a transformation before being used as input for the neural network.
  • This transformation can be a Fourier mapping, coordinate transformation, normalization etc.
  • coordinate transform prior to any Fourier embedding, which will be discussed hereafter.
  • the INR can be used to reconstruct a signal by computing the signal values for every necessary coordinate input. It can be used to upsample a signal by generating output for input coordinates corresponding to the upsampled pixels, for example the mean of the coordinates between two consecutive pixels for upsampling by a factor of 2.
  • An INR network 100 is typically a neural network, composed of multiple neural layers, such as fully connected layers.
  • the network has four layers. Intermediate outputs are represented by circles.
  • Each neural layer can be described as a function that first multiplies the input by a tensor, adds a vector called the bias and then applies a nonlinear function on the resulting values.
  • the shape (and other characteristics) of the tensor and the type of non-linear functions are called the architecture of the network.
  • We will denote the values of the tensor and the bias by the term “weights”.
  • the weights and, if applicable, the parameters of the non-linear functions are called the parameters 9 of the network.
  • the architecture and the parameters define a “model”. We will use f g to denote an INR function parameterized by 0.
  • a typical process to encode a signal using an INR is done by optimizing the weights 9 (or a subset of them) of the INR network to reconstruct the signal and optionally encoding them to create the output bitstream.
  • the weights 0 can for example be optimized by minimizing the following loss function: where D is a distortion which quantifies the difference between the reconstructed image by f 0 to the original image I, #/ is the number of pixels of image I, R is the bitrate of the encoded parameters and A a trade-off parameter between D and R.
  • D could be any differentiable distortion measure, such as mean squared error as in the second equation.
  • M and N are the width and height of an image. Other metrics such as LPIPS (learned perceptual image patch similarity) can also be used in this case.
  • the optimization of the weights 9 is typically performed by a machine learning approach such as a batch gradient descent method.
  • f g is evaluated at all relevant coordinates. These coordinates can be selected at decoding. A typical choice would be all pixel coordinates for an image or video. As an example, for a 256x256 pixel image, these coordinates could be all pairs (%,y) for all x e ⁇ 0,1, ...,255 ⁇ and y e ⁇ 0,1, ...,255 ⁇ . Other choices are possible, for example to upsample, downsample or extend the original image.
  • the described embodiments can be used to compress a set of images, representing the same content but at different resolution. This allows limiting the number of bitstreams associated with a given content, and minimize the cloud storage, while keeping the capability to generate a bitstream for any definition required by the end-user.
  • One goal of the described embodiments is to minimize the number of bitstreams generated for every content definition/resolution, and propose mechanisms to ensure that the INR is either valid for a range of content definition (realization mode 1), or to propose a lightweight additional bitstream (realization mode 2).
  • the following description proposes two modes to maximize the encoding over a set of content at different resolution.
  • the first mode is an encoding technique ensuring the quality is maintained.
  • the second mode is an encoding technique where a lightweight additional bitstream adapts the INR representation to a required resolution.
  • a first solution is to ensure, at the encoder side, that the INR is valid for a range of input resolutions. To do so, a single INR function f g is overfitted to all images by minimizing the following loss function:
  • the INR function is optimized to reach a maximum quality on average.
  • the INR function is transformed into a bitstream using any known encoding technique, and decoded using function evaluation.
  • Another mode is an INR is first overfitted. This can be done in two ways. The first is either using the previously described average INR optimizer.
  • a second way is by overfitting the INR on a particular resolution, known to be the most used instreaming (for instance, HD video).
  • the server when the user/device requires a bitstream at a given resolution to the server, the server either sends the reference INR, or a corrected version. Both INR weights are encapsulated into a bitstream.
  • the reference bitstream is first sent to obtain a first decoded image. Then, the additional residual bitstream is sent to bring the correction. That allows at the decoder level for a progressive decoding.
  • FIG. 3 One embodiment of a method 300 under the general aspects described here is shown in Figure 3.
  • the method commences at start block 301 and control proceeds to block 310 for determining parameters for an implicit neural representation of a neural network. Control proceeds from block 310 to block 320 for encoding video using the implicit neural representation.
  • FIG. 4 One embodiment of a method 400 under the general aspects described here is shown in Figure 4.

  • Figure 5 shows one embodiment of an apparatus 500 for encoding, decoding, compressing or decompressing, or filtering of video data using the aforementioned methods.
  • the apparatus comprises Processor 510 and can be interconnected to a memory 520 through at least one port. Both Processor 510 and memory 520 can also have one or more additional interconnections to external connections.
  • Processor 510 is also configured to either insert or receive information in a bitstream and, either compressing, encoding, or decoding using any of the described aspects.
  • the embodiments described here include a variety of aspects, including tools, features, embodiments, models, approaches, etc. Many of these aspects are described with specificity and, at least to show the individual characteristics, are often described in a manner that may sound limiting.

  • the video sequence may go through pre-encoding processing (101), for example, applying a color transform to the input color picture (e.g., conversion from RGB 4:4:4 to YCbCr 4:2:0), or performing a remapping of the input picture components in order to get a signal distribution more resilient to compression (for instance using a histogram equalization of one of the color components).
  • Metadata can be associated with the pre-processing and attached to the bitstream.
  • a picture is encoded by the encoder elements as described below.

  • Prediction residuals are calculated, for example, by subtracting (110) the predicted block from the original image block.
  • the prediction residuals are then transformed (125) and quantized (130).

  • the encoder decodes an encoded block to provide a reference for further predictions.
  • the quantized transform coefficients are de-quantized (140) and inverse transformed (150) to decode prediction residuals.
