We propose a framework for image compression in which the fidelity criterion is replaced by a semantic and quality preservation objective. Encoding the image thus becomes a simple extraction of semantic, enabling to reach drastic compression ratio. The decoding side is handled by a generative model relying on the diffusion process for the reconstruction of images. We first propose to describe the semantic using low resolution segmentation maps as guide. We further improve the generation, introducing colors map guidance without retraining the generative decoder. We show that it is possible to produce images of high visual quality with preserved semantic at extremely low bitrates when compared with classical codecs.
