— Many image compression techniques require the quantization of multiple vector sources with significantly different distributions. With vector quantization (VQ), these sources ...
The problem of clustering is often addressed with techniques based on a Voronoi partition of the data space. Vector quantization is based on a similar principle, but it is a diffe...
Data compression is one way to alleviate the 1/0bottleneck problem faced by I/O-intensive applications such as databases. However, this approach is not widely used because of the ...
