Abstract

In the present work, the nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA) method is combined with vector quantization for the coding of images. The NLPCA is realized using the backpropagation neural network (NN), while vector quantization is performed using the learning vector quantizer (LVQ) NN. The effects of quantization in the quality of the reconstructed images are then compensated by using a novel codebook vector optimization procedure.
