Advancing The Rate-Distortion-Computation Frontier For Neural Image Compression

no code implementations26 Sep 2023 David Minnen, Nick Johnston

The rate-distortion performance of neural image compression models has exceeded the state-of-the-art for non-learned codecs, but neural codecs are still far from widespread deployment and adoption.
