Efficient vector quantization using genetic algorithm

This paper proposes a new codebook generation algorithm for image data compression using a combined scheme of principal component analysis (PCA) and genetic algorithm (GA). The combined scheme makes full use of the near global optimal searching ability of GA and the computation complexity reduction of PCA to compute the codebook. The experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the popular LBG algorithm in terms of computational efficiency and image compression performance.
