Abstract

AbstractWavelet transform coding (WTC) with vector quantization (VQ) has been shown to be efficient in the application of image compression. An adaptive vector quantization coding scheme with the Gold‐Washing dynamic codebook‐refining mechanism in the wavelet domain, called symmetric wavelet transform‐based adaptive vector quantization (SWT‐GW‐AVQ), is proposed for still‐image coding in this article. The experimental results show that the GW codebook‐refining mechanism working in the wavelet domain rather than the spatial domain is very efficient, and the SWT‐GW‐AVQ coding scheme may improve the peak signal‐to‐noise ratio (PSNR) of the reconstructed images with a lower encoding time. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
