Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new encoding method called predictive sub-codebook searching (PSCS) algorithm for vector quantization of images. This algorithm not only allows searching a portion of the codebook to find the minimum distortion codeword of an input vector, but also permits to send the index of the codeword in sub-codebooks which requires shorter bit-length representation than that of the whole codebook Computer simulations using real images show that: the PSCS algorithm is very efficient since it requires minimum number of computations among several existing fast encoding algorithms and there is also about 8 to 21 percent bit-rate reduction depending on the natures of the images.
