Abstract: In one implementation, KLT transform matrices are derived during the encoding or decoding process. In particular, the KLT transform matrices can be derived for either the primary transforming stage or the secondary transforming stage, or both. Because the KLT transform matrices can be derived at both the encoder and decoder sides, the KLT transform matrices do not need to be signaled in the bitstream. To derive the KLT transform matrix for a current block to be encoded or decoded, a template for the current block is defined, and is used to search in reconstructed regions multiple blocks with templates similar to the current template. Those multiple blocks are used to train the KLT transform matrix.
