VQ-LIC: Shared Vector-Quantized Learned Image Compression on a Resource-Constrained FPGA

Learned image compression (LIC) is hard to deploy on severely resource-constrained FPGAs, since how fast it actually runs depends not just on arithmetic count, but also on memory traffic, imbalance between different operations, and how the hardware batches its work. We present VQ-LIC, an asymmetric edge-cloud codec in...
