Nice work, but disingenuous to not include a BPG (HEVC) image for comparison -- BPG is close to state-of-the-art, not WebP -- even their own SSIM charts show this.

Interesting that decoding is slower than encoding. Also curious about performance on CPU.

This approach may also be susceptible to "hallucinating" inaccurate detail; you can see a little bit of this on the upper-right of the girl's circled eyelid compared to the original Kodak image. See also: http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_...
