Lossless Image Compression Through Super-Resolution
This is utterly fascinating.<p>To be clear -- it stores a low-res version in the output file, uses neural networks to predict the full-res version, then encodes the difference between the predicted full-res version and the actual full-res version, and stores that difference as well. (Technically, multiple iterations of this.)<p>I've been wondering when image and video compression would start utilizing standard neural network "dictionaries" to achieve greater compression, at the (small) cost of requiring a local NN file that encodes all the standard image "elements".<p>This seems like a great step in that direction.
