Learned image compression (LIC) has achieved impressive rate-distortion performance. However, existing methods remain highly vulnerable to packet loss, a common challenge in satellite and emergency communications.
arXiv:2606. 06273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lossless pixel-level image transmission is a fundamental regime beyond semantic communications, because exact recovery requires both accurate symbol probability modeling and reliable delivery over noisy channels.
