Let’s begin by briefly reviewing the Matlab routines required for VQ-based image compression. First, note that the VQ parameters are set on lines 13-19 of prob1.m. The general VQ framework is implemented by learnVQ.m, which uses the subroutine kmeans.m to implement the k-means algorithm. (Note that, as recommended, we use findnn.m and lpnorm.m within the k-means implementation to allow flexible...

Image correlators are described and experimentally demonstrated that are implemented using optical memory disks to store a large library of reference images.
