Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We introduce LDSeCom, a novel lightweight-to-diffusion framework for semantic image communication. LDSeCom addresses bandwidth constraints by developing LSNet, a lightweight, loop-based segmentation model at the sender, and an improved diffusion model guided by our AFM-Net at the receiver. LSNet efficiently compresses images into semantic maps, while AFM-Net’s adaptive feature modulation ensures high-quality image reconstruction. On benchmark datasets, our LSNet achieves competitive accuracy with only 0.5M parameters, while our diffusion model improves image reconstruction quality by up to 28.51% mFID. The framework enables high-fidelity results from semantic maps compressed to 1/80 of the original size, proving its efficiency for bandwidth-constrained scenarios.
