| Acronym: DRAGON |
| Main Objective: The DRAGON (Deep leaRning bAsed imaGe cOmpressioN) project’s aim is to develop state-of-the-art deep learning methods that are able to determine a compact image representation model, obtained (learned) from a large amount of visual data, and are capable of representing the wide variety of visual content that is available today with a high value of compression ratio. This project will advance existing solutions in the learning-based image coding field, which already show encouraging results in terms of rate- distortion performance, especially in comparison with conventional image codecs (e.g. JPEG 2000 and HEVC Intra) that compress the visual information with hand-crafted transforms, entropy coding and quantization schemes. |
