Abstract

A system and method for performing trainable nonlinear prediction of transform coefficients in data compression such that the number of bits required to represent the data is reduced. The nonlinear prediction data compression system includes a nonlinear predictor for generating predicted transform coefficients, a nonlinear prediction encoder that uses the predicted transform coefficients to encode original data, and a nonlinear prediction decoder that uses the predicted transform coefficients to decode the encoded bitstream and reconstruct the original data. The nonlinear predictor may be trained using training techniques, including a novel in-loop training technique of the present invention. The present invention also includes a method for using a nonlinear predictor to encode and decode data. The method also includes improving the performance of the nonlinear prediction data compression and decompression using several novel speedup techniques.
