Vector Quantization and its Applications

Abstract

In the current information age, people have to access diverse newlineinformation. With the popularization of the internet in all kinds of newlineinformation fields and the development of communication newlinetechnology, more and more information has to be processed newlinerapidity. Also due to the technology expansion and the boosting of newlinemultimedia applications the need for storage and transmission of newlineimages and videos is increased. The problem with images and newlinevideos is that they require large amount of bandwidth for newlinetransmitting and storage for archiving. A data compression newlinetechnique reduces the amount of data needed to represent an newlineimage, so that they can be economically transmitted or archived. newlineData compression continues to be a key component of newlinecommunications and storage systems. The objective of data newlinecompression is to reduce data rate for transmission and storage. newlineThere are two types of data compression techniques lossless data newlinecompression and lossy data compression. newline
