An Adaptive Vector Quantization Method for Image Compression

Modified Vector Quantization Method for Image Compression

A low bit rate still image compression scheme by compressing the indices of Vector Quantization (VQ) and generating residual codebook is proposed. The indices of VQ are compressed by exploiting correlation among image blocks, which reduces the bit per index. A residual codebook similar to VQ codebook is generated that represents the distortion produced in VQ. Using this residual codebook the di...

Vector Quantization for Image Compression-Concept Quantization

Adaptive Vector Quantization for Lossy Compression of Image Sequences

In this work, we present a scheme for the lossy compression of image sequences, based on the Adaptive Vector Quantization (AVQ) algorithm. The AVQ algorithm is a lossy compression algorithm for grayscale images, which processes the input data in a single-pass, by using the properties of the vector quantization to approximate data. First, we review the key aspects of the AVQ algorithm and, subse...

Vector Quantization Based Image Compression

An image compression method combining discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and vector quantization (VQ) is presented. First, a three-level DWT is performed on the original image resulting in ten separate sub bands. These sub bands are then vector quantized. VQ indices are Huffman coded to increase the compression ratio. Lloyd extended scalar quantization technique is used to design memory less vect...

Still Image Compression with Adaptive Resolution Vector Quantization Technique

A novel image compression algorithm based on vector quantization (VQ) technique is proposed in this paper. Adaptive resolution VQ (AR-VQ) method, which is composed of three key techniques, i.e., the edge detection, the resolution conversion, and the block alteration, can realize much superior compression performance than the JPEG and the JPEG-2000. On the compression of the XGA (1024x768 pixels...
