Abstract
An image encoding method that generates and encodes a gram matrix representing an image feature when encoding an image to be encoded includes a feature map generation step of generating a plurality of feature maps from the image to be encoded; a gram matrix generation step of generating a gram matrix through calculations between/among the feature maps; a representative vector determination step of generating a representative vector and a representative coefficient value by singular value decomposition of the gram matrix; and a vector encoding step of encoding the representative coefficient value and the representative vector.
