• Authors: Fabian Mentzer, Luc Van Gool, Michael Tschannen
• Abstract summary: We leverage the powerful lossy image compression algorithm BPG to build a lossless image compression system. We model the distribution of the residual with a convolutional neural network-based probabilistic model that is conditioned on the BPG reconstruction. Finally, the image is stored using the concatenation of the bitstreams produced by BPG and the learned residual coder.

• Abstract: We leverage the powerful lossy image compression algorithm BPG to build a lossless image compression system. Specifically, the original image is first decomposed into the lossy reconstruction obtained after compressing it with BPG and the corresponding residual. We then model the distribution of the residual with a convolutional neural network-based probabilistic model that is conditioned on the BPG reconstruction, and combine it with entropy coding to losslessly encode the residual. Finally, the image is stored using the concatenation of the bitstreams produced by BPG and the learned residual coder. The resulting compression system achieves state-of-the-art performance in learned lossless full-resolution image compression, outperforming previous learned approaches as well as PNG, WebP, and JPEG2000.

  We propose a novel framework for learned lossless compression of JPEG images. To enable learning in the frequency domain, DCT coefficients are partitioned into groups to utilize implicit local redundancy. An autoencoder-like architecture is designed based on the weight-shared blocks to realize entropy modeling of grouped DCT coefficients.

  We propose a unified and powerful deep lossy plus residual (DLPR) coding framework for both lossless and near-lossless image compression. We solve the joint lossy and residual compression problem in the approach of VAEs. In the near-lossless mode, we quantize the original residuals to satisfy a given $ell_infty$ error bound.
