  • Patent number: 11470356
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of video encoding video coding for a video encoder or decoder using Neural Network (NN) are disclosed. According to this method, the multiple frames in a video sequence comprises multiple segments, where each of the multiple segments comprises a set of frames. The NN (Neural Network) processing is applied to a target signal in one or more encoded frames of a target segment in the encoder side or to the target signal in one or more decoded frames of the target segment in the decoder side using one NN parameter set for the target segment. The target signal may correspond to reconstructed residual, reconstructed output, de-blocked output, SAO (sample adaptive offset) output, ALF (adaptive loop filter) output, or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, the NN processing is applied to a target signal only in one or more specific encoded or decoded frames.

  • Patent number: 11363302
    Abstract: Method and apparatus of video encoding video coding for a video encoder or decoder using Neural Network (NN) are disclosed. According to one method, input data or a video bitstream are received for blocks in one or more pictures, which comprise one or more colour components. The residual data, prediction data, reconstructed data, filtered-reconstructed data or a combination thereof is derived for one or more blocks of said one or more pictures. A target signal corresponding to one or more of the about signal types is processed using a NN (Neural Network) and the input of the NN or an output of the NN comprises two or more colour components. According to another method, A target signal corresponding to one or more of the about signal types is processed using a NN and the input of the NN or an output of the NN comprises two or more colour components.

  • Publication number: 20210056390
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of signal processing using a grouped neural network (NN) process are disclosed. A plurality of input signals for a current layer of NN process are grouped into multiple input groups comprising a first input group and a second input group. The neural network process for the current layer is partitioned into multiple NN processes comprising a first NN process and a second NN process. The first NN process and the second NN process are applied to the first input group and the second input group to generate a first output group and a second output group for the current layer of NN process respectively. In another method, the parameter set associated with a layer of NN process is coded using different code types.
