dc.description.abstractWe present a novel deep learning‐based method for fast encoding of textures into current texture compression formats. Our approach uses state‐of‐the‐art neural network methods to compute the appropriate encoding configurations for fast compression. A key bottleneck in the current encoding algorithms is the search step, and we reduce that computation to a classification problem. We use a trained neural network approximation to quickly compute the encoding configuration for a given texture. We have evaluated our approach for compressing the textures for the widely used adaptive scalable texture compression format and evaluate the performance for different block sizes corresponding to 4 × 4, 6 × 6 and 8 × 8. Overall, our method (TexNN) speeds up the encoding computation up to an order of magnitude compared to prior compression algorithms with very little or no loss in the visual quality.We present a novel deep learning‐based method for fast encoding of textures into current texture compression formats.
