• Abstract: It has been witnessed that learned image compression has outperformed conventional image coding techniques and tends to be practical in industrial applications. One of the most critical issues that need to be considered is the non-deterministic calculation, which makes the probability prediction cross-platform inconsistent and frustrates successful decoding. We propose to solve this problem by introducing well-developed post-training quantization and making the model inference integer-arithmetic-only, which is much simpler than presently existing training and fine-tuning based approaches yet still keeps the superior rate-distortion performance of learned image compression. Based on that, we further improve the discretization of the entropy parameters and extend the deterministic inference to fit Gaussian mixture models. With our proposed methods, the current state-of-the-art image compression models can infer in a cross-platform consistent manner, which makes the further development and practice of learned image compression more promising.

  CALLIC sets a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) for learned lossless image compression. We propose a content-aware autoregressive self-attention mechanism by leveraging convolutional gating operations. During encoding, we decompose pre-trained layers, including depth-wise convolutions, using low-rank matrices and then adapt the incremental weights on testing image by Rate-guided Progressive Fine-Tuning (RPFT) RPFT fine-tunes with gradually increasing patches that are sorted in descending order by estimated entropy, optimizing learning process and reducing adaptation time.

  Posterior Sampling-based Compression (PSC) is a zero-shot compression method that leverages a pre-trained diffusion model as its sole neural network component. PSC constructs a transform that is adaptive to the image. We demonstrate that PSC's performance is comparable to established training-based methods in terms of rate, distortion, and perceptual quality.
