Image compression using self-organization networks

Abstract

A self-organization neural network architecture is used to implement vector quantization for image compression. A modified self-organization algorithm, which is based on the frequency-sensitive cost function and centroid learning rule, is utilized to construct the codebooks. Performances of this frequency-sensitive self-organization network and a conventional algorithm for vector quantization are compared. The proposed method is quite efficient and can achieve near-optimal results. Good adaptivity for different statistics of source data can also be achieved.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
