Abstract
Method, apparatus, and non-transitory storage medium for end-to-end neural image compression using non-linear quantization with substitution, including receiving one or more input images, generating a substitute image associated with the input image based on the input image using a neural network based substitute feature generator, compressing the substitute image, quantizing the compressed substitute image to obtain a quantized representation of the input image with higher compression performance by using a non-linear quantizer, and entropy encoding the quantized substitute image using a neural network based encoder to generate a compressed representation of the quantized representation.
