New research advances learned image compression for human and machine perception · 3 sources tracked

Three new research papers explore advancements in learned image compression. The first paper introduces a hierarchical latent representation with multiple scales to improve entropy modeling and achieve a 17.9% BD-rate reduction over VVC on Kodak datasets. The second paper addresses packet loss resilience by dispersing information across packets and using a dual-branch autoregressive structure, showing significant PSNR gains and reduced variance under packet loss. The third paper focuses on progressive learned image compression for machine perception, adapting a human-oriented codec with novel adapters and an adaptive decoding controller to maintain strong downstream classification performance. AI
