contents Learned image compression methods have shown impressive performance but are often highly specialized for either human perception or specific machine vision tasks. This specialization limits their versatility and requires costly retraining for new applications. To address this, we introduce UniCodec, a universal codec built on a novel paradigm of semantic disentanglement at the encoder and compositional generation at the decoder. This framework is designed to simultaneously serve both human and machine needs, eliminating the need for task-specific retraining. At the encoder, UniCodec leverages pre-generated, task-specific label codebooks created by a Large Language Model (LLM). For any given task, a grounding model uses the corresponding codebook to perform task-aware disentanglement, compressing only the most relevant image regions. This mechanism not only saves significant bits but is also the key to our system's rapid, zero-retraining adaptation: switching to a new task is as simple as selecting a new codebook. The decoder then performs compositional generation: it combines the compact, disentangled components with powerful priors from a generative diffusion model. This process reconstructs a high-quality, complete image optimized with rich detail for human perception and precise features for machine vision tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UniCodec consistently outperforms existing methods, effectively bridging the gap between human-centric and machine-centric compression.
