Original Abstract Submitted
image coding using guided machine learning restoration may include obtaining reconstructed frame data by decoding, obtaining a restored frame by restoring the reconstructed frame, and outputting the restored frame. obtaining the restored frame may include obtaining a reconstructed block, obtaining guide parameter values, obtaining a restored block, and including the restored block in the restored frame. obtaining the restored block may include inputting the reconstructed block to an input layer of a trained guided convolutional neural network, wherein the neural network is constrained such that an output layer has a defined cardinality of channels, obtaining, from the output layer, neural network output channel predictions, obtaining a guided neural network prediction as a linear combination of the guide parameter values and the neural network output channel predictions, and generating the restored block using the guided neural network prediction.
