Patent number: 11593632Abstract: A deep learning based compression (DLBC) system trains multiple models that, when deployed, generates a compressed binary encoding of an input image that achieves a reconstruction quality and a target compression ratio. The applied models effectively identifies structures of an input image, quantizes the input image to a target bit precision, and compresses the binary code of the input image via adaptive arithmetic coding to a target codelength. During training, the DLBC system reconstructs the input image from the compressed binary encoding and determines the loss in quality from the encoding process. Thus, the models can be continually trained to, when applied to an input image, minimize the loss in reconstruction quality that arises due to the encoding process while also achieving the target compression ratio.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2017Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Oren Rippel, Lubomir Bourdev

Patent number: 11570465Abstract: A compression system trains a compression model for an encoder and decoder. In one embodiment, the compression model includes a machine-learned in-loop flow predictor that generates a flow prediction from previously reconstructed frames. The machine-learned flow predictor is coupled to receive a set of previously reconstructed frames and output a flow prediction for a target frame that is an estimation of the flow for the target frame. In particular, since the flow prediction can be generated by the decoder using the set of previously reconstructed frames, the encoder may transmit a flow delta that indicates a difference between the flow prediction and the actual flow for the target frame, instead of transmitting the flow itself. In this manner, the encoder can transmit a significantly smaller number of bits to the receiver, improving computational efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Oren Rippel, Alexander G.

Patent number: 11423310Abstract: A deep learning based compression (DLBC) system applies trained models to compress binary code of an input image to a target codelength. For a set of binary codes representing the quantized coefficents of an input image, the DLBC system applies a first model that is trained to predict feature probabilities based on the context of each bit of the binary codes. The DLBC system compresses the binary code via adaptive arithmetic coding based on the determined probability of each bit. The compressed binary code represents a balance between a reconstruction quality of a reconstruction of the input image and a target compression ratio of the compressed binary code.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Oren Rippel, Lubomir Bourdev

Patent number: 11315011Abstract: The compression system trains a machine-learned encoder and decoder through an autoencoder architecture. The encoder can be deployed by a sender system to encode content for transmission to a receiver system, and the decoder can be deployed by the receiver system to decode the encoded content and reconstruct the original content. The encoder is coupled to receive content and output a tensor as a compact representation of the content. The content may be, for example, images, videos, or text. The decoder is coupled to receive a tensor representing content and output a reconstructed version of the content. The compression system trains the autoencoder with a discriminator to reduce compression artifacts in the reconstructed content. The discriminator is coupled to receive one or more input content, and output a discrimination prediction that discriminates whether the input content is the original or reconstructed version of the content.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Oren Rippel, Lubomir Bourdev, Carissa Lew, Sanjay Nair

Patent number: 10977553Abstract: A deep learning based compression (DLBC) system generates a progressive representation of the encoded input image such that a client device that requires the encoded input image at a particular target bitrate can readily be transmitted the appropriately encoded data. More specifically, the DLBC system computes a representation that includes channels and bitplanes that are ordered based on importance. For a given target rate, the DLBC system truncates the representation according to a trained zero mask to generate the progressive representation. Transmitting a first portion of the progressive representation enables a client device with the lowest target bitrate to appropriately playback the content. Each subsequent portion of the progressive representation allows the client device to playback the content with improved quality.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Oren Rippel, Lubomir Bourdev

Patent number: 10594338Abstract: A compression system includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder can be deployed by a sender system to encode a tensor for transmission to a receiver system, and the decoder can be deployed by the receiver system to decode and reconstruct the encoded tensor. The encoder receives a tensor for compression. The encoder also receives a quantization mask and probability data associated with the tensor. Each element of the tensor is quantized using an alphabet size allocated to that element by the quantization mask data. The encoder compresses the tensor by entropy coding each element using the probability data and alphabet size associated with the element. The decoder receives the quantization mask data, the probability data, and the compressed tensor data. The quantization mask and probabilities are used to entropy decode and subsequently reconstruct the tensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: WaveOne Inc.Inventors: Carissa Lew, Steven Branson, Oren Rippel, Sanjay Nair, Alexander Grant Anderson, Lubomir Bourdev
