We propose the first practical learned lossless image compression system, L3C, and show that it outperforms the popular engineered codecs, PNG, WebP and JPEG 2000. At the core of our method is a fully parallelizable hierarchical probabilistic model for adaptive entropy coding which is optimized end-to-end for the compression task. In contrast to recent autoregressive discrete probabilistic models such as PixelCNN, our method i) models the image distribution jointly with learned auxiliary representations instead of exclusively modeling the image distribution in RGB space, and ii) only requires three forward-passes to predict all pixel probabilities instead of one for each pixel. As a result, L3C obtains over two orders of magnitude speedups when sampling compared to the fastest PixelCNN variant (Multiscale-PixelCNN). Furthermore, we find that learning the auxiliary representation is crucial and outperforms predefined auxiliary representations such as an RGB pyramid significantly.

We introduce a simple and efficient lossless image compression algorithm. We store a low resolution version of an image as raw pixels, followed by several iterations of lossless super-resolution. For lossless super-resolution, we predict the probabil
ity of a high-resolution image, conditioned on the low-resolution input, and use entropy coding to compress this super-resolution operator. Super-Resolution based Compression (SReC) is able to achieve state-of-the-art compression rates with practical runtimes on large datasets. Code is available online at https://github.com/caoscott/SReC.
We make the following striking observation: fully convolutional VAE models trained on 32x32 ImageNet can generalize well, not just to 64x64 but also to far larger photographs, with no changes to the model. We use this property, applying fully convolu
tional models to lossless compression, demonstrating a method to scale the VAE-based Bits-Back with ANS algorithm for lossless compression to large color photographs, and achieving state of the art for compression of full size ImageNet images. We release Craystack, an open source library for convenient prototyping of lossless compression using probabilistic models, along with full implementations of all of our compression results.
Lossless image compression is an important technique for image storage and transmission when information loss is not allowed. With the fast development of deep learning techniques, deep neural networks have been used in this field to achieve a higher
compression rate. Methods based on pixel-wise autoregressive statistical models have shown good performance. However, the sequential processing way prevents these methods to be used in practice. Recently, multi-scale autoregressive models have been proposed to address this limitation. Multi-scale approaches can use parallel computing systems efficiently and build practical systems. Nevertheless, these approaches sacrifice compression performance in exchange for speed. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale progressive statistical model that takes advantage of the pixel-wise approach and the multi-scale approach. We developed a flexible mechanism where the processing order of the pixels can be adjusted easily. Our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art lossless image compression methods on two large benchmark datasets by a significant margin without degrading the inference speed dramatically.
Recent works on learned image compression perform encoding and decoding processes in a full-resolution manner, resulting in two problems when deployed for practical applications. First, parallel acceleration of the autoregressive entropy model cannot
be achieved due to serial decoding. Second, full-resolution inference often causes the out-of-memory(OOM) problem with limited GPU resources, especially for high-resolution images. Block partition is a good design choice to handle the above issues, but it brings about new challenges in reducing the redundancy between blocks and eliminating block effects. To tackle the above challenges, this paper provides a learned block-based hybrid image compression (LBHIC) framework. Specifically, we introduce explicit intra prediction into a learned image compression framework to utilize the relation among adjacent blocks. Superior to context modeling by linear weighting of neighbor pixels in traditional codecs, we propose a contextual prediction module (CPM) to better capture long-range correlations by utilizing the strip pooling to extract the most relevant information in neighboring latent space, thus achieving effective information prediction. Moreover, to alleviate blocking artifacts, we further propose a boundary-aware postprocessing module (BPM) with the edge importance taken into account. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed LBHIC codec outperforms the VVC, with a bit-rate conservation of 4.1%, and reduces the decoding time by approximately 86.7% compared with that of state-of-the-art learned image compression methods.
We present a new algorithm for video coding, learned end-to-end for the low-latency mode. In this setting, our approach outperforms all existing video codecs across nearly the entire bitrate range. To our knowledge, this is the first ML-based method
to do so. We evaluate our approach on standard video compression test sets of varying resolutions, and benchmark against all mainstream commercial codecs, in the low-latency mode. On standard-definition videos, relative to our algorithm, HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264 and VP9 typically produce codes up to 60% larger. On high-definition 1080p videos, H.265 and VP9 typically produce codes up to 20% larger, and H.264 up to 35% larger. Furthermore, our approach does not suffer from blocking artifacts and pixelation, and thus produces videos that are more visually pleasing. We propose two main contributions. The first is a novel architecture for video compression, which (1) generalizes motion estimation to perform any learned compensation beyond simple translations, (2) rather than strictly relying on previously transmitted reference frames, maintains a state of arbitrary information learned by the model, and (3) enables jointly compressing all transmitted signals (such as optical flow and residual). Secondly, we present a framework for ML-based spatial rate control: namely, a mechanism for assigning variable bitrates across space for each frame. This is a critical component for video coding, which to our knowledge had not been developed within a machine learning setting.
