ENCODING WITH SIGNALING OF FEATURE MAP DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18339772 Titled 'ENCODING WITH SIGNALING OF FEATURE MAP DATA'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method and apparatus for encoding data, such as still or video processing, into a bitstream. The data is processed by a network with multiple layers, generating feature maps with different resolutions. A layer is selected from the cascaded layers, different from the layer with the lowest resolution, and information related to this selected layer is included in the bitstream. This allows for efficient coding of data with varying resolutions, depending on the content of the picture data being coded.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for encoding data for (still or video processing into a bitstream). In particular, the data are processed by a network which includes a plurality of cascaded layers. In the processing, feature maps are generated by the layers. The feature maps processed (output) by at least two different layers have different resolutions. In the processing, a layer is selected, out of the cascaded layers, which is different from the layer generating the feature map of the lowest resolution (e.g. latent space). The bitstream includes information related to the selected layer. With this approach, scalable processing which may operate on different resolutions is provided so that the bitstream may convey information relating to such different resolutions. Accordingly, the data may be efficiently coded within the bitstream, depending on the resolution which may vary depending on the content of the picture data coded.
