CLIC: 4th Workshop and Challenge on Learned Image Compression 2021
in conjunction with CVPR 2021, June, Nashville, USA (VIRTUAL).
Website: http://www.compression.cc/
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.
There are three challenge tracks:
- image compression track, images need to be compressed to 0.075 bpp, 0.15 bpp, and 0.3 bpp (bits per pixel).
- video compression track, short video clips need to be compressed to around 1 Mbit/s.
- 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.
