Enhancing the Rate-Distortion-Perception Flexibility of Learned Image Codecs with Conditional Diffusion Decoders
Learned image compression codecs have recently achieved impressive compression performances surpassing the most efficient image coding architectures. However, most approaches are trained to minimize rate and distortion which often leads to unsatisfactory visual results at low bitrates since perceptual metrics are not taken into account. In this paper, we show that conditional diffusion models can lead to promising results in the generative compression task when used as a decoder, and that, given a compressed representation, they allow creating new tradeoff points between distortion and perception at the decoder side based on the sampling method.

A Practical Approach for Rate-Distortion-Perception Analysis in Learned Image Compression
Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) of codecs, where distortion is quantified by the mean-square error, has been a standard practice in image/video compression over the years. RDO serves well for optimization of codec per…
