• Abstract summary: We propose a latent diffusion model-based remote sensing image compression (LDM-RSIC) method. In the first stage, a self-encoder learns prior from the high-quality input image. In the second stage, the prior is generated through an LDM conditioned on the decoded image of an existing learning-based image compression algorithm.

• Abstract: Deep learning-based image compression algorithms typically focus on designing encoding and decoding networks and improving the accuracy of entropy model estimation to enhance the rate-distortion (RD) performance. However, few algorithms leverage the compression distortion prior from existing compression algorithms to improve RD performance. In this paper, we propose a latent diffusion model-based remote sensing image compression (LDM-RSIC) method, which aims to enhance the final decoding quality of RS images by utilizing the generated distortion prior from a LDM. Our approach consists of two stages. In the first stage, a self-encoder learns prior from the high-quality input image. In the second stage, the prior is generated through an LDM, conditioned on the decoded image of an existing learning-based image compression algorithm, to be used as auxiliary information for generating the texture-rich enhanced image. To better utilize the prior, a channel attention and gate-based dynamic feature attention module (DFAM) is embedded into a Transformer-based multi-scale enhancement network (MEN) for image enhancement. Extensive experiments demonstrate the proposed LDM-RSIC significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art traditional and learning-based image compression algorithms in terms of both subjective perception and objective metrics. Additionally, we use the LDM-based scheme to improve the traditional image compression algorithm JPEG2000 and obtain 32.00% bit savings on the DOTA testing set. The code will be available at https://github.com/mlkk518/LDM-RSIC.

  Learned image compression (LIC) methods have experienced significant progress during recent years. LIC methods fail to explicitly explore the image structure and texture components crucial for image compression. We present DA-Mask that samples visible patches based on the structure and texture of original images. We propose a simple yet effective masked compression model (MCM), the first framework that unifies LIC and LIC end-to-end for extremely low-bitrate compression.
