In my research, there is a current task of small (64x64 pixels) image compression. The images are photos, represented as RGB. While it is not a core interest, I wanted to compare some compression methods with ML compression methods. I am NOT a machine learning specialist (I never trained any network) so I need something off the shelf, which I can just download and compress/decompress images. I am a decent user of Python so this part is not a problem.
Can someone advise on (in some sense) a respected and already trained NN framework that I can use for this purpose? The "respected" part is important because if I want to include these results in my scientific paper, it cannot be just a random guy on GitHub :)
