Neural networks boost JPEG 2000 compression efficiency

Researchers have developed a novel method to enhance lossy image compression within the JPEG 2000 standard by integrating neural network-assisted lifting steps. These additional steps are designed to reduce residual redundancy and improve image quality at lower resolutions. The approach, which uses compact neural networks with a single set of trained parameters applicable across all decomposition levels and bit-rates, has demonstrated an average bit-rate saving of up to 17.4% while preserving the scalability features of JPEG 2000. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient image compression techniques, potentially impacting storage and transmission of visual data.

    Neural Network Assisted Lifting Steps For Improved Fully Scalable Lossy Image Compression in JPEG 2000

    arXiv:2403.01647v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work proposes to augment the lifting steps of the conventional wavelet transform with additional neural network assisted lifting steps. These additional steps reduce residual redundancy (notably aliasing information) amongs…
