Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for image compression and reconstruction. A request to generate an encoded representation of an input image is received. The encoded representation of the input image is then generated. The encoded representation includes a respective set of binary codes at each iteration. Generating the set of binary codes for the iteration from an initial set of binary includes: for any tiles that have already been masked off during any previous iteration, masking off the tile. For any tiles that have not yet been masked off during any of the previous iterations, a determination is made as to whether a reconstruction error of the tile when reconstructed from binary codes at the previous iterations satisfies an error threshold. When the reconstruction quality satisfies the error threshold, the tile is masked off.
