  • Patent number: 11477485
    Abstract: The encoder includes processing circuitry, and memory. Using the memory, the processing circuitry: generates a predicted image of an input image that is a current image to be encoded, based on generated data output from a generator network in response to a reference image being input to the generator network, the generator network being a neural network; calculates a prediction error by subtracting the predicted image from the input image; and generates an encoded image by at least transforming the prediction error.
