Rate-Distortion Optimized Encoding for Deep Image Compression

Deep-learned variational auto-encoders (VAE) have shown remarkable capabilities for lossy image compression. These neural networks typically employ non-linear convolutional layers for finding a compressible representation of the input image. Advanced techniques such as vector quantization, context-a...
