CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS & PAPERS

CLIC: 4th Workshop and Challenge on Learned Image Compression 2021
in conjunction with CVPR 2021, June, Nashville, USA (VIRTUAL).

Website: http://www.compression.cc/


MOTIVATION

Our workshop aims to gather publications which will advance the field of
image and video compression using machine learning and computer vision. We
want to encourage the development of novel encoder/decoder architectures,
novel ways to control information flow between the encoder and the decoder,
new perceptual losses, and new ways to learn quantized representations.
At the workshop we will also present the winners of our annual compression
challenge. Like the workshop, the challenge is designed to encourage the
development of new learned codecs. But it is also an opportunity to
evaluate and compare end-to-end trained approaches against classical
approaches and every submission is welcome.

CHALLENGE (ongoing!)

There are three challenge tracks:

   1. * image compression *track, images need to be compressed to 0.075
   bpp, 0.15 bpp, and 0.3 bpp (bits per pixel).
   2.  *video compression* track, short video clips need to be compressed
   to around 1 Mbit/s.
   3.  *perceptual metric* track, human preferences on pairs of images will
   have to be predicted. The image pairs will come from the decoders submitted
   to the image compression track.
