Neural image compression (NIC) has outperformed traditional image codecs in rate-distortion (R-D) performance. However, it usually requires a dedicated encoder-decoder pair for each point on R-D curve, which greatly hinders its practical deployment. While some recent works have enabled bitrate control via conditional coding, they impose strong prior during training and provide limited flexibility. In this paper we propose Code Editing, a highly flexible coding method for NIC based on semi-amortized inference. And we further improve our Code Editing via adaptive quantization. We demonstrate our method under various conditions and we show that our code editing surpass existing variable-rate methods through experiment. Our work is a new paradigm for variable bitrate NIC, and it is the first to achieve continuous bitrate control, ROI coding and multi-distortion trade-off with a single decoder.Neural image compression (NIC) has outperformed traditional image codecs in rate-distortion (R-D) performance.
