TensorFlow Implementation of ELIC (He et al. CVPR 2022)

[Nikolai10]

Dear TFC-Community,

I have recently been working on a TF implementation of ELIC (He et al. CVPR 2022):
https://github.com/Nikolai10/ELIC.

ELIC provides (close to) state-of-the-art rate-distortion-speed performance, thanks to its efficient and powerful entropy model SCCTX. It also remains a popular choice for recent generative image compression models, e.g. MRIC.

In my implementation I have taken some care to closely follow the naming conventions presented by Minnen et al., without changing the overall structure. I have also included a Google Colab demo, which you can find here.

I hope this work will be useful for further exploration and learning.

Kind regards,
Nikolai
