Segmention-Based Residual Image Coding Using Classified Vectior Quantizer

분할기반 잉여신호의 CVQ 영상 부호화

An efficient RVQ image coding method is proposed using the segmentation-based coding and CVQ techniques. In the proposed method the residual image, the difference between an original image and the synthesized one obtained from the segmentation-based coding, is first dividel into $\times$4 subblocks. They are then individually coded in the spatial domain using a simple CVQ. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields better quality of the reconstructed images in both PSNR and subjective test over the basic VQ and SMVQ.
