New language model advances generative image compression

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed FLM, a novel frequency-aware language model designed for generative image compression. This model transforms images into discrete sequences of DCT coefficients, which FLM then uses to autoregressively predict token probabilities for arithmetic coding. This approach allows for deterministic reconstruction while significantly improving compression efficiency, especially at low bitrates. Experiments demonstrate that FLM outperforms existing methods, achieving substantial BD-PSNR gains on standard datasets and offering better qualitative results by preserving semantic fidelity and reducing blocking artifacts. AI

IMPACT This model could lead to more efficient image storage and transmission, particularly for applications requiring high fidelity at low bitrates.

    FLM: Frequency-Aware Language Models for Generative Image Compression

    arXiv:2608.28687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative models have significantly improved the performance ceiling of image lossy compression at low bitrates by exploiting learned priors. However, the generated textures and semantic details may deviate from the source content,…
