Abstract: Vector quantization-based image semantic communication systems have successfully boosted transmission efficiency. However, existing models like Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder 2 ...

Abstract: This work introduces Semantically Masked Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network (SQ-GAN), a novel approach integrating semantically driven image coding and vector quantization to ...

Integrates dynamic codebook frequency statistics into a transformer attention module. Fuses semantic image features with latent representations of quantization ...
