Abstract

Vector quantization and clustering are two different problems for which similar techniques are used. We analyze some approaches to the synthesis of a vector quantization codebook, and their similarities with corresponding clustering algorithms. We outline the role of fuzzy concepts in the performance of these algorithms, and propose an alternative way to use fuzzy concepts as a modeling tool for physical vector quantization systems, Neural Gas with a fuzzy rank function.
