Effective image compression using transformer and residual network for balanced handling of high and low-frequency information

Image compression has made significant progress through end-to-end deep-learning approaches in recent years. The Transformer network, coupled with self-attention mechanisms, efficiently captures high-frequency features during image compression. However, the low-frequency information in the image can...

Shrnutí:Image compression has made significant progress through end-to-end deep-learning approaches in recent years. The Transformer network, coupled with self-attention mechanisms, efficiently captures high-frequency features during image compression. However, the low-frequency information in the image cannot be obtained well through the Transformer network. To address this issue, the paper introduces a novel end-to-end autoencoder architecture for image compression based on the transformer and residual network. This method, called Transformer and Residual Network (TRN), offers a comprehensive solution for efficient image compression, capturing essential image content while effectively reducing data size. The TRN employs a dual network, comprising a self-attention pathway and a residual network, intricately designed as a high-low-frequency mixer. This dual-network can preserve both high and low-frequency features during image compression. The end-to-end training of this model employs rate-distortion optimization (RDO methods). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed TRN method outperforms the latest deep learning-based image compression methods, achieving an impressive 8.32% BD-rate (bit-rate distortion performance) improvement on the CLIC dataset. In comparison to traditional methods like JPEG, the proposed achieves a remarkable BD-rate improvement of 70.35% on the CLIC dataset.
