Training-Free Continuous Bitrate Control for Scalable Image Coding for Humans and Machines
Yui Tatsumi, Hiroshi Watanabe
Continuous variable-rate compression is highly demanded in real-world applications, but remains underexplored in scalable image coding for humans and machines. In this paper, we pr…
GVCC: Zero-Shot Video Compression via Codebook-Driven Stochastic Rectified Flow
Ziyue Zeng, Xun Su, Haoyuan Liu +3
At ultra-low bitrates, high-fidelity reconstruction requires sampling plausible videos from the posterior rather than regressing to oversmoothed conditional means. We propose Gener…
