Abstract
Methods, systems, and bitstream syntax are described for the fusion of latent features in multi-level, end-to-end, neural networks used in image and video compression. The fused architecture may be static or dynamic based on image characteristics (e.g., natural images versus screen content images) or other coding parameters, such as bitrate constrains or rate-distortion optimization. A variety of multi-level fusion architectures are discussed.
