Abstract
In this paper an exact and complete analysis of the Lloyd-Max's algorithm and its initialization is carried out. An effective method for initialization of Lloyd-Max's algorithm of optimal scalar quantization for Laplacian source is proposed. The proposed method is very simple method of making an intelligent guess of the starting points for the iterative Lloyd-Max's algorithm. Namely, the initial values for the iterative Lloyd-Max's algorithm can be determined by the values of compandor's parameters. It is demonstrated that by following that logic the proposed method provides a rapid convergence of the Lloyd-Max's algorithm.
