Abstract
Nonlinear peri-codec optimization for image and video coding includes obtaining a source image including pixel values expressed in a first defined image sample space, generating a neuralized image representing the source image, the neuralized image including pixel values that are expressed as neural latent space values, encoding the input image wherein the neural latent space values are used as pixel values in a second defined image sample space and the input image is in an operative image format of the encoder, such that a decoder decodes the encoded image to obtain a reconstructed image in the second defined image sample space, wherein the reconstructed image is a reconstructed neuralized image including reconstructed neural latent space values, such that a deneuralized reconstructed image corresponding to the source image is obtained by a nonlinear post-codec image processor in the first defined image sample space.
