Learn to overfit better: finding the important parameters for learned image compression (original) (raw)

2021 International Conference on Visual Communications and Image Processing (VCIP), 2021

Abstract

For most machine learning systems, overfitting is an undesired behavior. However, overfitting a model to a test image or a video at inference time is a favorable and effective technique to improve the coding efficiency of learning-based image and video codecs. At the encoding stage, one or more neural networks that are part of the codec are finetuned using the input image or video to achieve a better coding performance. The encoder en-codes the input content into a content bitstream. If the finetuned neural network is part (also) of the decoder, the encoder signals the weight update of the finetuned model to the decoder along with the content bitstream. At the decoding stage, the decoder first updates its neural network model according to the received weight update, and then proceeds with decoding the content bitstream. Since a neural network contains a large number of parameters, compressing the weight update is critical to reducing bitrate overhead. In this paper, we propose learn...
