  • Patent number: 11638034
    Abstract: A video coder determines a plurality of available Matrix Intra Prediction (MIP) parameter sets (MPS's) for a picture of video data. The plurality of available MPS's is a union of (i) a subset of all default MPS's and (ii) a set of additional MPS's that are signaled in the bitstream. Each of the default MPS's is associated with a predefined MIP mode in a codec. Each of the set of additional MPS's is associated with a new MIP mode in a set of new MIP modes. The video decoder uses a MIP mode associated with an MPS in the plurality of available MPS's to generate a prediction block for a current block of the picture.

  • Patent number: 11516473
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for compressing data in a neural network. For example, output data can be obtained from a node of the neural network. Re-arranged output data having a re-arranged scanning pattern can be generated. The re-arranged output data can be generated by re-arranging the output data into the re-arranged scanning pattern. One or more residual values can be determined for the re-arranged output data by applying a prediction mode to the re-arranged output data. The one or more residual values can then be compressed using a coding mode.
