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 field
Recent Learned image compression (LIC) leverages Mamba-style state-space models (SSMs) for global receptive fields with linear complexity. However, the standard Mamba adopts content-agnostic, predefined raster (or multi-directional) scans under strict causality. This rigidity hinders its ability to…
Recently, learned image compression (LIC) models have achieved remarkable rate-distortion (RD) performance, yet their high computational complexity severely limits practical deployment. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel Stage-wise Modular Distillation framework, SMoDi, which efficiently…
