PaaF: Raising the perceived quality of INR-Based Image Compression (opens in new tab)

Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have recently emerged as a promising paradigm for image compression, offering a fundamentally different approach from traditional and learned codecs. Nevertheless, INR-based methods for image compression suffer from long encoding times and a consistent performance gap in classic quality metrics such as PSNR. In this work, we explore the potential of purely INR-based compression methods and we propose PaaF...
