20 Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for compressing target content, the method comprising:

selecting a target set of pixels from a plurality of pixels included in the target content;

generating, using an auto-encoder included in a prediction neural network, an estimated set of pixels based on one or more convolutions performed on the target set of pixels;

matching the target set of pixels to a second set of pixels included in the plurality of pixels; and

generating, using a decoder included in the prediction neural network based on input that includes the estimated set of pixels and the second set of pixels, a refined set of pixels.
