Semantics-Guided Generative Image Compression
Advancements in text-to-image generative AI with large multimodal models are spreading into the field of image compression, creating high-quality representation of images at extremely low bit rates. This work introduces novel components to the existing multimodal image semantic compression (MISC) approach, enhancing the quality of the generated images in terms of PSNR and perceptual metrics. The new components include semantic segmentation guidance for the generative decoder, as well as content-adaptive diffusion, which controls the number of diffusion steps based on image characteristics. The results show that our newly introduced methods significantly improve the baseline MISC model while also decreasing the complexity. As a result, both the encoding and decoding time are reduced by more than 36%. Moreover, the proposed compression framework outperforms mainstream codecs in terms of perceptual similarity and quality. The code and visual examples are available.
