Adaptive resolution vector quantization technique and basic codebook design method for compound image compression

چکیده
In order to increase the performance of image compression by Vector Quantization (VQ), we propose a systematic codebook design method without using learning sequences for 4x4 and 2x2 pixel blocks. According to the method, the codebook can be applied to all kinds of images and exhibits equivalent compression performance to the specific codebooks created individually by conventional learning method using corresponding images. Furthermore, we have developed a novel VQ-based imagecoding algorithm suitable for compound images. Adaptive resolution VQ (AR-VQ) method, which is composed of three key techniques, i.e., the edge detection, the resolution conversion, and the entropy coding, can realize much superior compression performance than the JPEG and the JPEG-2000. On the compression of the XGA (1024x768 pixels) images including text, for instance, there exist an overwhelming performance difference of 5 to 40 dB in compressed image quality.

Novel codebook generation algorithms for vector quantization image compression
Novel algorithms for vector quantization codebook design are presented in this paper. Two basic techniques are proposed. The first technique takes into consideration specific characteristics of the blocks of the training sequence during the generation of the initial codebook. In this way a representative initial codebook is generated. Starting from a high quality initial codebook the iterative ...

متن کاملConstrained-Storage Vector Quantization with a Universal Codebook
Many image compression techniques require the quantization of multiple vector sources with significantly different distributions. With vector quantization (VQ), these sources are optimally quantized using separate codebooks, which may collectively require an enormous memory space. Since storage is limited in most applications, a convenient way to gracefully trade between performance and storage...
