Cool-Chic: Perceptually Tuned Low Complexity Overfitted Image Coder
This paper summarises the design of the Cool-Chic candidate for the Challenge on Learned Image Compression. This candidate attempts to demonstrate that neural coding methods can lead to low complexity and lightweight image decoders while still offering competitive performance. The approach is based on the already published overfitted lightweight neural networks Cool-Chic, further adapted to the human subjective viewing targeted in this challenge.

Overfitted image coding at reduced complexity
Overfitted image codecs offer compelling compression performance and low decoder complexity, through the overfitting of a lightweight decoder for each image. Such codecs include Cool-chic, which presents image coding per…
CPUDecoderImage CompressionCool-chic video: Learned video coding with 800 parameters
We propose a lightweight learned video codec with 900 multiplications per decoded pixel and 800 parameters overall. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the neural video codecs with the lowest decoding complexity…
Improved Encoding for Overfitted Video Codecs
Overfitted neural video codecs offer a decoding complexity orders of magnitude smaller than their autoencoder counterparts. Yet, this low complexity comes at the cost of limited compression efficiency, in part due to the…
Optical Flow EstimationLow-complexity Overfitted Neural Image Codec
We propose a neural image codec at reduced complexity which overfits the decoder parameters to each input image. While autoencoders perform up to a million multiplications per decoded pixel, the proposed approach only re…
DecoderUpsampling Improvement for Overfitted Neural Coding
Neural image compression, based on auto-encoders and overfitted representations, relies on a latent representation of the coded signal. This representation needs to be compact and uses low resolution feature maps. In the…
