Rate-Distortion-Perception Theory for the Quadratic Wasserstein SpaceXiqiang Qu, Jun Chen, Lei Yu et al.
We establish a single-letter characterization of the fundamental distortion-rate-perception tradeoff with limited common randomness under the squared error distortion measure and the squared Wasserstein-2 perception measure. Moreover, it is shown that this single-letter characterization can be explicitly evaluated for the Gaussian source. Various notions of universal representation are also clarified.
