US 2020/0090069 A1 · MACHINE LEARNING BASED VIDEO COMPRESSION

Abstract

Systems and methods for compressing target content are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system may include non-transient electronic storage and one or more physical computer processors. The one or more physical computer processors may be configured by machine-readable instructions to obtain the target content comprising one or more frames, wherein a given frame comprises one or more features. The one or more physical computer processors may be configured by machine-readable instructions to obtain a conditioned network. The one or more physical computer processors may be configured by machine-readable instructions to generate decoded target content by applying the conditioned network to the target content.

Dependent claims

A system configured for compressing target content, the system comprising:

non-transient electronic storage;
one or more physical computer processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain, from the non-transient electronic storage, the target content comprising one or more frames, wherein a given frame comprises one or more features;
obtain, from the non-transient electronic storage, a conditioned network, the conditioned network having been trained by training an initial network using training content, wherein the conditioned network comprises one or more encoders, one or more quantizers, and one or more decoders, and wherein the training content comprises one or more training frames, and wherein a given training frame comprises one or more training features;
and
generate, with the one or more physical computer processors, decoded target content by applying the conditioned network to the target content, wherein the conditioned network generates a latent space of the target content comprising one or more local variables and one or more global variables.

3 more elements

A computer-implemented method for training an initial network to simultaneously learn how to refine a latent space using training content and how to refine multiple distributions of the latent space using the training content, the method being implemented in a computer system that comprises non-transient electronic storage and one or more physical computer processors, comprising:

obtaining, from the non-transient electronic storage, training content comprising one or more frames, wherein a given frame comprises one or more features;
obtaining, from the non-transient electronic storage, the initial network, the initial network comprising one or more encoders, one or more quantizers, and one or more decoders;
generating, with the one or more physical computer processors, a conditioned network by training the initial network using the training content, the conditioned network comprising the one or more encoders, the one or more quantizers, and the one or more decoders;
and
storing, in the non-transient electronic storage, the conditioned network.

2 more elements

A computer-implemented method for compressing target content, the method being implemented in a computer system that comprises non-transient electronic storage and one or more physical computer processors, comprising:

obtaining, from the non-transient electronic storage, the target content comprising one or more frames, wherein a given frame comprises one or more features;
encoding, with the one or more physical computer processors, the target content to generate one or more local variables and one or more global variables;
and
generating, with the one or more physical computer processors, a latent space, the latent space comprising the one or more local variables and the one or more global variables, wherein the one or more local variables are based on the one or more features in the given frame, and wherein the one or more global variables are based on one or more features common to multiple frames of the target content.
