Vector quantization of images using the L/sub ∞/ distortion measure
V.J. Mathews · Proceedings - International Conference on Image Processing · 2002
This paper considers vector quantization of signals using the L/sub /spl infin// distortion measure. The key contribution is a result that allows one to characterize the centroid of a set of vectors for the L/sub /spl infin// distortion measure. A method similar to the LEG algorithm for designing codebooks has been developed and tested. The paper also discusses the design of vector quantizers employing the L/sub /spl infin// distortion measure in an application in which the occurrences of quantization errors with larger magnitudes than a pre-selected threshold must be minimized.
