Training-Free Rate-Distortion-Perception Traversal With Diffusion

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.04005v2 Announce Type: replace-cross The rate-distortion-perception (RDP) tradeoff characterizes the fundamental limits of lossy compression by jointly considering bitrate, reconstruction fidelity, and perceptual quality. While recent neural compression methods have improved perceptual performance, they typically operate at fixed points on the RDP surface, requiring re
