Image compression using a stochastic competitive learning algorithm (SCoLA)
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we introduce a new stochastic competitive learning algorithm (SCoLA) and apply it to vector quantization for image compression. In competitive learning, the training process involves presenting, simultaneously, an input vector to each of the competing neurons, which then compare the input vector to their own weight vectors and one of them is declared the winner based on some deterministic distortion measure. Here a stochastic criterion is used for selecting the winning neuron, whose weights are then updated to become more like the input vector. The performance of the new algorithm is compared to that of frequency-sensitive competitive learning (FSCL); it was found that SCoLA achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratios (PSNR) 6han FSCL.

Genetic Vector Quantisation for Digital Image Compression
In this paper, we describe a novel approach to image quantisation by using a genetic algorithm to find near-optimal code words. Moving away from the traditional binary string representations of genetic data, the proposed system applies genetic operators directly on pixel blocks thus avoiding any conversion to a conventional format. To operate on the data this way, operators for fitness, combina...

متن کاملImage Segmentation using Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Simple Post-processing
Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...
