Abstract

Vector quantization (VQ) is a well-known compression method. In the encoding phase, given a block represented as a vector, searching the closest codeword in the codebook is a time-consuming task. In this paper, two fast encoding algorithms for VQ are proposed. To reduce the search area and accelerate the search process, the first algorithm utilizes three significant features of a vector that are, the norm, and two projection angles to two projection axes. The second algorithm uses the first two features as in the first algorithm with the projection value of the vector to the second projection axe. The algorithms allow significant acceleration in the encoding process. Experimental results are presented on image block data. These results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
