On the Robustness of Diffusion-Based Image Compression to Bit-Flip Errors

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.05743v1 Announce Type: cross Modern image compression methods are typically optimized for the rate--distortion--perception trade-off, whereas their robustness to bit-level corruption is rarely examined. We show that diffusion-based compressors built on the Reverse Channel Coding (RCC) paradigm are substantially robust to bit flips than classical and learned codecs. We further
