Adaptive Learned Image Compression with Graph Neural Networks

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.25316v1 Announce Type: new Efficient image compression relies on modeling both local and global redundancy. Most state-of-the-art (SOTA) learned image compression (LIC) methods are based on CNNs or Transformers, which are inherently rigid. Standard CNN kernels and window-based attention mechanisms impose fixed receptive fields and static connectivity patterns, which potentially couple non-redundant pixels simply due to their proximity in Euclidean space.
