用分层字典提升图像压缩效率,显著降低码率。

HiDE: Hierarchical Dictionary-Based Entropy Modeling for Learned Image Compression

  • 分层字典拆解外部先验,分结构与细节两级检索
  • 在Kodak等数据集上码率降低18.5%以上
  • 适合追求高压缩性能的图像编码研究者

学习型图像压缩(LIC)已取得显著编码效率,熵建模在通过信息先验最小化码率方面起关键作用。现有方法主要利用输入图像内部上下文,而大规模训练数据中丰富的外部先验仍被忽视。基于字典的熵模型虽能提升性能,但当前方法将异质外部先验置于单层字典,导致利用不均、表达能力受限。此外,有效熵建模需兼具表达力强的先验与可解释其的参数估计网络。为此,我们提出HiDE:一种分层字典熵建模框架。它将外部先验分解为全局结构与局部细节字典,采用级联检索实现结构化高效利用;同时引入具有并行多感受野设计的上下文感知参数估计器,自适应地挖掘异质上下文以精确估计条件概率。实验表明,HiDE在Kodak、CLIC和Tecnick数据集上分别相较VTM-12.1实现18.5%、21.99%和24.01%的BD-rate降低。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learned image compression (LIC) has achieved remarkable coding efficiency, where entropy modeling plays a pivotal role in minimizing bitrate through informative priors. Existing methods predominantly exploit internal contexts within the input image, yet the rich external priors embedded in large-scale training data remain largely underutilized. Recent advances in dictionary-based entropy models have demonstrated that incorporating external priors can substantially enhance compression performance. However, current approaches organize heterogeneous external priors within a single-level dictionary, resulting in imbalanced utilization and limited representational capacity. Moreover, effective entropy modeling requires not only expressive priors but also a parameter estimation network capable of interpreting them. To address these challenges, we propose HiDE, a Hierarchical Dictionary-based Entropy modeling framework for learned image compression. HiDE decomposes external priors into global structural and local detail dictionaries with cascaded retrieval, enabling structured and efficient utilization of external information. Moreover, a context-aware parameter estimator with parallel multi-receptive-field design is introduced to adaptively exploit heterogeneous contexts for accurate conditional probability estimation. Experimental results show that HiDE achieves 18.5%, 21.99%, and 24.01% BD-rate savings over VTM-12.1 on the Kodak, CLIC, and Tecnick datasets, respectively.
