Proposes bound-conditioned latent inference (BLI) for progressive image compression, using decoded trit-plane prefixes as interval constraints on continuous latents rather than discrete symbols for probability prediction.

Problem

Progressive image compression must reconstruct images from prefixes of a single bitstream, requiring sequential latent inference under partial observations; existing trit-plane codecs treat decoded trits as discrete symbols and do not exploit their role as interval constraints on continuous latents.

Approach

Treat decoded trit-planes as interval bounds on the underlying continuous latents and condition latent inference/probability modeling on these bounds, instead of modeling trits only as discrete symbols.

Experimental setup

Baselines: trit-plane codecs

Builds on: trit-plane progressive codecs
