  • Patent number: 12373991
    Abstract: There are provided a method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable recording medium for image compression. An encoding apparatus performs domain transformation and quantization on feature map information and image information. The encoding apparatus rearranges the result of domain transformation and quantization so as to have a form advantageous to the encoding procedure and encodes the result of rearrangement, thereby generating a bitstream. A decoding apparatus receives the bitstream, decodes the received bitstream, and performs inverse transformation, dequantization, and inverse rearrangement using information transmitted through the bitstream. The result of inverse transformation, dequantization, and inverse rearrangement is used for the machine-learning task of a neural network.

  • Patent number: 12190548
    Abstract: There are provided an apparatus, method, system, and recording medium for performing selective encoding/decoding on feature information. An encoding apparatus generates residual feature information. The encoding apparatus transmits the residual feature information to a decoding apparatus through a residual feature map bitstream. The residual feature information is the difference between feature information extracted from an original image and feature information extracted from a reconstructed image. Feature information of the reconstructed image is generated using the reconstructed image. Reconstructed feature information is generated using the feature information of the reconstructed image and reconstructed residual feature information.
