ResARC: Residual-Aware AutoRegressive Coding for Ultra-Low Bitrate Image Compression
Progressive autoregressive image codecs provide an appealing paradigm for generative compression by quantizing continuous latents into discrete tokens, transmitting coarse-to-fine prefix tokens and generating the remaining suffix tokens at the decoder. However, their reconstruction quality is fundamentally limited by t...
