Abstract

The development of multimedia has caused the heavy bandwidth load. Hence, digital content compression has become a significant topic presently. An appropriate codebook design method is a helpful and necessary principle for Vector Quantization (VQ). This work develops a new gray image compression algorithm named ELSA, witch exploits an expanding-leaf concept to determine the rough vectors (codebook) fast and utilizes the LBG for quality improvement in the end. Experimental results reveal that ELSA outperforms LBG, SOM and HSOM in terms of time-cost and image quality.
