This talk addresses modern approaches to image and video compression through the lens of energy-efficient hardware design. Traditional codecs like JPEG and H.264 are increasingly being challenged by learned compression techniques based on deep neural networks, particularly autoencoders. While these methods offer state-of-the-art performance in rate-distortion trade-offs, their deployment in real-world systems depends critically on […]
