Joint Autoregressive and Hierarchical Priors for Learned Image Compression
David Minnen, Johannes Ballé, George Toderici
Recent models for learned image compression are based on autoencoders, learning approximately invertible mappings from pixels to a quantized latent representation. These are combin…
Towards a Semantic Perceptual Image Metric
Troy Chinen, Johannes Ballé, Chunhui Gu +8
We present a full reference, perceptual image metric based on VGG-16, an artificial neural network trained on object classification. We fit the metric to a new database based on 14…
Variational image compression with a scale hyperprior
Johannes Ballé, David Minnen, Saurabh Singh +2
We describe an end-to-end trainable model for image compression based on variational autoencoders. The model incorporates a hyperprior to effectively capture spatial dependencies i…
Efficient Nonlinear Transforms for Lossy Image Compression
Johannes Ballé
We assess the performance of two techniques in the context of nonlinear transform coding with artificial neural networks, Sadam and GDN. Both techniques have been successfully used…
