Abstract


We investigate a simple pipeline to achieve high-quality image compression under very low bit-rate. The pipeline is a stack of BPG image compression and deep network based restoration. Wide-activated deep residual networks from recent advances in image super-resolution are adopted for image restoration. Experiments demonstrate that the pipeline significantly reduces the quantity loss and remove visual artifacts for compressed images.
