Original Abstract Submitted
A method for texture encoding, the method comprising the steps of: compressing a first colour channel of a given texture to obtain a plurality of fixed-sized data chunks representative of the first colour channel of a corresponding plurality of fixed-sized blocks of pixels of the given texture; for the given texture, training, using the plurality of fixed-sized data chunks, a neural network to output an inferred pixel colour block representative of at least a second colour channel of a respective fixed-sized block of pixels of the given texture based on an input representative of a respective fixed-sized data chunk representative of the first colour channel of the respective fixed-sized block of pixels of the given texture; and outputting at least one of the fixed-sized data chunks and the weights of the trained neural network as an encoded representation of at least a portion of the given texture.
