Abstract

In this paper, we discussed the quantization technique in the DCT domain employing a vector quantizer (VQ), and described the relations between the DCT and the VQ. And, we introduced a zonal coding technique for the OCT coefficients based on the classified VQ technique proposed in [2]. We shall show that this technique reduced the coding complexity about 30% while maintaining the same image quality as shown in [2]. A result of simulation with a natural image is also presented.
