## Abstract

Encoding the Region Of Interest (ROI) with better quality than the background has many applications including video conferencing systems, video surveillance and object-oriented vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a ROI-based image compression framework with Swin transformers as main building blocks for the autoencoder network. The binary ROI mask is integrated into different layers of the network to provide spatial information guidance. Based on the ROI mask, we can control the relative importance of the ROI and non-ROI by modifying the corresponding Lagrange multiplier $ \\lambda $ for different regions. Experimental results show our model achieves higher ROI PSNR than other methods and modest average PSNR for human evaluation. When tested on models pre-trained with original images, it has superior object detection and instance segmentation performance on the COCO validation dataset.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
