AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing neural image compression methods are difficult to adapt flexibly to target tasks with different bit rates or quality losses after training, resulting in models that cannot be used across tasks.

Method used

The Task Adaptive Preprocessing (TAPP) framework is adopted, which generates alternative images through TAPP neural networks and combines neural network encoding and decoding. The input image and alternative image are updated using RD loss gradient to adapt to different compression tasks.

Benefits of technology

This study achieves flexible adaptation of neural image compression methods under different target tasks, improving the model's versatility and compression efficiency.

Abstract

A method for task adaptive pre-processing (TAPP) for neural image compression is performed by at least one processor and includes generating a substitute image based on an input image using a TAPP neural network and encoding the generated substitute image using a first neural network to generate a compressed representation. The TAPP neural network is trained by generating a substitute training image based on an input training image using the TAPP neural network, encoding the generated substitute training image using the first neural network to generate a compressed training representation, decoding the generated compressed training representation using a second neural network to reconstruct an output training image, generating a gradient of a rate-distortion (R-D) loss generated based on the input training image, the reconstructed output training image, and the generated compressed training representation, and updating the generated substitute training image based on the generated gradient of the R-D loss.
