UI-LIC: A Unified Framework for Evaluating Learned Image Compression Models (opens in new tab)

The evaluation and comparison of Learned Image Compression (LIC) systems is complicated by heterogeneous software stacks, varying training conditions, and divergent evaluation methodologies. To address these challenges, we introduce UI-LIC, an open-source software framework for evaluating LIC models. We integrate six high-performance LIC models, and provide a centralized controller for performing training, inference, and analysis with shared con...
