Nonlinear Transform Coding
Johannes Ballé, Philip A. Chou, David Minnen +5
We review a class of methods that can be collected under the name nonlinear transform coding (NTC), which over the past few years have become competitive with the best linear trans…
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…
Image-Dependent Local Entropy Models for Learned Image Compression
David Minnen, George Toderici, Saurabh Singh +2
The leading approach for image compression with artificial neural networks (ANNs) is to learn a nonlinear transform and a fixed entropy model that are optimized for rate-distortion…
Spatially adaptive image compression using a tiled deep network
David Minnen, George Toderici, Michele Covell +6
Deep neural networks represent a powerful class of function approximators that can learn to compress and reconstruct images. Existing image compression algorithms based on neural n…
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…
Target-Quality Image Compression with Recurrent, Convolutional Neural Networks
Michele Covell, Nick Johnston, David Minnen +5
We introduce a stop-code tolerant (SCT) approach to training recurrent convolutional neural networks for lossy image compression. Our methods introduce a multi-pass training method…
