Title: What Matters in Practical Learned Image Compression

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.05148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One of the major differentiators unlocked by learned codecs relative to their hard-coded traditional counterparts is their ability to be optimized directly to appeal to the human visual system. Despite this potential, a perceptual yet practical image codec is yet to be proposed. In this work, we aim to close this gap. We conduct a comprehensive study of the key modeling choices that govern the design of a practical learned image codec, jointly op
