Enhancing joint human–machine image compression via Chebyshev space modulation
摘要
Recent advancements in computer vision necessitate efficient image compression methods that cater to both human and machine perception. Traditional learned image compression models optimized for human visual quality often fail to preserve semantic information crucial for machine vision tasks. This paper introduces a lightweight adapter-based tuning framework incorporating the ChebSpace Block (CSB), which leverages Chebyshev polynomial bases to modulate intermediate features adaptively. This approach enhances convolutional neural network responses to task-relevant features while suppressing spatial noise. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art Image Compression for Machine and Human Vision (ICMH) approaches across multiple tasks, including classification, object detection, and instance segmentation, with significantly reduced trainable parameters and computational overhead.
