ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,627,795, issued on May 12, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Methods for complexity reduction of neural network based video coding tools" was invented by Dmytro Rusanovskyy (San Diego), Samuel James Eadie (Munich), Yun Li (Ottobrunn, Germany) and Marta Karczewicz (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A video coder is configured to perform a neural network (NN)-based filter process on reconstructed blocks of vide data. In one example, a video coder may receive a picture of video data, and reconstruct a block of the picture of video data to generate a reconstructed block. The video coder may perform the NN-based filter process...
