Abstract
A system and method of encoding a tensor into a bitstream, the tensor having a channel dimension. The method comprises generating a mean feature of the tensor, the mean feature being an average of the tensor over the channel dimension; quantising the generated mean feature to generate a quantised mean feature map; and inverse-quantising a reconstruction of the quantised mean feature map to generate a second representation of the mean feature. The method further comprises determining mean feature coefficients using the second representation of the mean feature map and the channel dimension of the tensor; and encoding at least the quantised mean feature map and a quantised version of the mean feature coefficients into the bitstream.
