To the best of our knowledge, this is the first research paper showing a hybrid video codec that outperforms VVC on multiple datasets and multiple machine vision tasks.

Leveraging progressive model and overfitting for efficient learned image compression

no code implementations8 Oct 2022 Honglei Zhang, Francesco Cricri, Hamed Rezazadegan Tavakoli, Emre Aksu, Miska M. Hannuksela

Nevertheless, the proposed LIC systems are still inferior to the state-of-the-art traditional techniques, for example, the Versatile Video Coding (VVC/H. 266) standard, due to either their compression performance or decoding complexity.

Learning to Learn to Compress

no code implementations31 Jul 2020 Nannan Zou, Honglei Zhang, Francesco Cricri, Hamed R. -Tavakoli, Jani Lainema, Miska Hannuksela, Emre Aksu, Esa Rahtu

In a second phase, the Model-Agnostic Meta-learning approach is adapted to the specific case of image compression, where the inner-loop performs latent tensor overfitting, and the outer loop updates both encoder and decoder neural networks based on the overfitting performance.
