Abstract

Recently the vector quantization (VQ) has received considerable interests as a powerful image data compression technique. However, studies of image coding with VQ have revealed that VQ for image compression suffers from edge degradation in the reproduced images. In this paper, we describe an adaptive learning method of the edge preserving VQ based on Kohonen's self-organizing feature map neural network. The learning procedure is performed by extracting the edge of the whole image, then adaptively adjusting the learning rate that are determined by the edge information of the image block. Compared with direct image VQ coding, the experiment results show the reproduced images quality are well improved, at the same compression ratio.
