ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 4 -- United States Patent no. 12,323,634, issued on June 3, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).
"Entropy coding for neural-based media compression" was invented by Amir Said (San Diego) and Yinhao Zhu (La Jolla, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "This disclosure describes entropy coding techniques for media data coded using neural-based techniques. A media coder is configured to determine a probability distribution function parameter for a data element of a data stream coded by a neural-based media compression technique, wherein the probability distribution function parameter is a logarithmic function of a standard deviation of a probability distribution functi...
