Abstract
A method of encoding data includes: receiving an input data set having an arbitrary size about a height dimension and a width dimension; padding the input data set according to a padding function selected from a set of padding functions, such that a data set having a desired size about the height dimension and the width dimension is obtained; generating an output data set by performing a discrete convolution on the obtained data set; and generating a signal providing information corresponding to the output data set and the selected padding function.
