Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method, an apparatus and a storage medium for image encoding/decoding using geometric partitioning. Through geometric partitioning, a target block is partitioned into a first partitioned region and a second partitioned region. Intra-prediction is used for at least one of the first partitioned region and the second partitioned region. An intra-prediction mode of intra-prediction used for the partitioned region may be limited by a partition boundary or the like of a geometric partitioning mode. Through prediction for the first partitioned region and prediction for the second partitioned region, a prediction block for the target block is generated.

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.
