通过自生成先验深度调控压缩流程,显著减少低码率下的几何失真。

Deeply-Conditioned Image Compression via Self-Generated Priors

  • 用自生成先验分离图像结构与细节,分层建模信息流
  • 在Kodak、CLIC、Tecnick上比VVC降低14.4%~15.7%码率
  • 适合追求低码率下保真度的图像压缩研究与应用

学习型图像压缩(LIC)在率失真性能上展现出巨大潜力。然而,现有方法难以有效建模自然图像中复杂的相关性结构,尤其是全局结构与局部纹理在单一表示中的纠缠问题,导致低码率下出现严重几何失真。为此,我们提出基于功能分解的深度条件化图像压缩框架(DCIC-sgp)。核心思想是首先编码一个强自生成先验以捕捉图像的结构主干,该先验不作为简单侧信息,而是整体调控整个压缩流程,尤其深度调节分析变换,使其可专注于残差高频细节。这种层级依赖驱动的方法实现了信息流的有效解耦。大量实验验证了该方法:视觉分析显示其显著缓解了传统编码器在低码率下的几何失真;定量结果表明,该框架在Kodak、CLIC、Tecnick数据集上相较VVC测试模型VTM-12.1实现14.4%、15.7%和15.1%的显著BD-rate降低。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learned image compression (LIC) has shown great promise for achieving high rate-distortion performance. However, current LIC methods are often limited in their capability to model the complex correlation structures inherent in natural images, particularly the entanglement of invariant global structures with transient local textures within a single monolithic representation. This limitation precipitates severe geometric deformation at low bitrates. To address this, we introduce a framework predicated on functional decomposition, which we term Deeply-Conditioned Image Compression via self-generated priors (DCIC-sgp). Our central idea is to first encode a potent, self-generated prior to encapsulate the image's structural backbone. This prior is subsequently utilized not as mere side-information, but to holistically modulate the entire compression pipeline. This deep conditioning, most critically of the analysis transform, liberates it to dedicate its representational capacity to the residual, high-entropy details. This hierarchical, dependency-driven approach achieves an effective disentanglement of information streams. Our extensive experiments validate this assertion; visual analysis demonstrates that our method substantially mitigates the geometric deformation artifacts that plague conventional codecs at low bitrates. Quantitatively, our framework establishes highly competitive performance, achieving significant BD-rate reductions of 14.4%, 15.7%, and 15.1% against the VVC test model VTM-12.1 on the Kodak, CLIC, and Tecnick datasets.
