چکیده
A colour quantization technique is presented which maps 24-bit colour images to 8bit colour, using Self-Organizing Neural Networks. The quantized image is superior to that produced by existing methods, and has useful continuity properties.

Kohonen Neural Networks for Optimal Colour Quantization
We present a Self-Organizing Kohonen Neural Network for quantizing colour graphics images. The network is compared with existing algorithmic methods for colour quantization. It is shown experimentally that, by adjusting a quality factor, the network can produce images of much greater quality with longer running times, or slightly better quality with shorter running times than the existing metho...
متن کاملCompression of Medical Images using Improved Kohonen Algorithm
Nowadays, neural networks are largely used in signal processing and images. In particular, Kohonen networks or Self Organizing Maps are unsupervised learning models. This method performs a vector quantization (VQ) on the values obtained after processing. The vector quantization has a potential to give more data compression maintaining the same quality. In this paper we propose new scheme to ima...

Abstract. In this paper, we discuss an important problem of the selection of the neighborhood radius in the learning schemes of the Winner Takes Most Kohonen neural network. The optimization of this parameter is essential in case of hardware realization of the network given that the lower values of the radius can result in significant reduction of both the power dissipation and the chip area, e...

RoboCup competition as a great test-bed, has turned to a worldwide popular domains in recent years. The main object of such competitions is to deal with complex behavior of systems whichconsist of multiple autonomous agents. The rich experience of human soccer player can be used as a valuable reference for a robot soccer player. However, because of the differences between real and simulated soc...
متن کاملVector Quantization Code Book Design Using Neural Networks
The Kohonen Self-Organizing Feature Map algorithm is compared to the K-Means vector quantization algorithm. Computation and storage requirements are calculated for both algorithms. A new algorithm which takes advantage of the structured code book produced by Kohonen's algorithm is introduced. This algorithm ooers a signiicant computational savings over full-search vector quantiza-tion without i...
