Multi-scale Image Representation Compression

The paper introduces MIRC, an overfitted image codec that quantizes and entropy‑codes all components—including latents, synthesis network, and entropy models—within a single end‑to‑end rate‑distortion framework inspired by NVRC. It adds a multi‑scale representation with cross‑stage parameter sharing to capture cross‑scale redundancy, yielding a 10.5 % BD‑rate saving over VVC on the CLIC2020 professional set. MIRC offers multiple configurations ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 kMAC per pixel, allowing decoding complexity to be tuned to deployment needs.

Multi-scale Image Representation Compression

The paper introduces MIRC, an overfitted image codec that quantizes all components—including latents, synthesis network, and entropy models—within a single rate‑distortion objective, following the neural video representation codec NVRC. It adds a multi‑scale representation with cross‑stage parameter sharing to capture cross‑scale redundancy, achieving a 10.5% BD‑rate saving over VVC on the CLIC2020 professional validation set. MIRC also offers configurable decoding complexity ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 kMAC per pixel, allowing deployment to match specific resource budgets.

Generative Video Compression Based on Hierarchical Referencing

Diffusion-based generative video compression has emerged as a promising paradigm to improve perceptual quality, where latent frames are required to be encoded efficiently while serving as denoising conditions. However, existing methods neither carefully design reference and quality structures during latent coding nor account for the impact of frame-level quality variation on denoising procedure, which limits coding efficiency and aggravates artifact propagation during generative reconstruction.
