Abstract
The present method relates to a method for encoding image data using vector quantization. According to the invention, a small first codebook is determined. Each image vector of the image data is then encoded by determining a codevector within the first codebook that best approximates the image vector within the image data. A first index map is generated by replacing each image vector with an index indicative of the codevector's location within the first codebook. Then difference data are evaluated based on the original image data and the encoded image data. Each error vector of the difference data is then encoded using another small codebook. In another index map the error vectors are then replaced with an index indicative of the codevector's location within the other codebook. Evaluation of the error based on the difference data and the encoded difference data provides new difference data which is used to evaluate the fidelity of the approximation process performed for compression. The steps of encoding of the difference data are repeated until a control error of the difference data is smaller than a given threshold.
