Asymmetrically-powered Neural Image Compression with Shallow Decoders

Abstract

Asymmetrically-powered neural image compression with shallow decoders are provided. In one embodiments, a method for an asymmetrically-powered neural image compression with shallow decoders is provided, the method comprising: determining an asymmetric computation budget between an encoding process and a decoding process, wherein the asymmetric computation budget comprises an encoding computation budget that is greater than a decoding computation budget; performing the encoding process using an encoder, wherein the encoding process comprises generating encoded data from a source data using an analysis transform; and performing the decoding process using a shallow decoder, wherein the decoding process comprises generating decoded data from the encoded data using a synthesis transform.
