Project: Compression of Multimodal Biomedical Images using Neural Networks

Acronym: CoMBINNe
Main Objective:
The main goals of this research plan are: (i) to investigate and propose new prediction modes to increase the multimodal compression efficiency of standard
encoders, based on image to image (I2I) translation-based methods and cross-modality prediction; (ii) to investigate the coding efficiency of end-to-end learningbased
multi-modal image codecs using state-of-the-art learning-based encoders to devise novel techniques capable of surpass standard encoders. Overall, the
project seeks to explore multi-dimensional and multimodal characteristics to achieve better compression rates than current standards.
