Introduction • The evolution of SMVQ • SMVQ • SMVQ with CVQ • SSM-CVQ • Feature of SSM-CVQ • Variable block size • Smooth side-match method • Genetic clustering algorithm is applied on codebooks generation
Smooth Side-Match Method with Variable Block Size • Variable Block Size • Image Compression with Variable Block Size Segmentation • Quadtree is used to address blocks of different sizes • Smooth side-match method • Diagonal basic blocks • Smooth side-match distortion
Block size and codebooks • Blocks of sizes of 16x16 and 8x8 and 4x4 with low variance are low-detail blocks • Use three master codebooks • 4x4 • 8x8 • 16x16 • Blocks of size of 4x4 with high variance are high-detail blocks • Use CLUSTERING algorithm, we have q classes and q master codebooks for each class • Total : 3 + q master codebooks
Diagonal basic blocks • Diagonal blocks are encoded first. • In the experiments, the number of the basic blocks required is approximately 25% to 28% of that of the conventional SMVQ.
Smooth side-match distortion (1) • The encoded is divided into two parts • Upper triangular region • Lower triangular region • Problem of SMVQ • Different, dif(e, f) is defined as • dif(e, f) = (gray level of e) – (gray level of f)
Smooth side-match distortion (2) • Upper triangular region
Smooth side-match distortion (3) • Lower triangular region
Genetic Clustering Algorithm (1) • First Stage Use nearest neighbor (NN) algorithm to reduce the computation time and space in the second stage. (1) (2) (3) (4) Let the connected components be denoted by
Genetic Clustering Algorithm (2) • Second Stage Use genetic algorithm to find an appropriate number of clusters. Initialization Step chromosome (string): numbers of 1’s in the strings almost uniformly distributes within [1,m]

The PSNRs of the coding for Lena CLUSTERING is best !
SSM-CVQ outperforms the others in both the PSNR & the bit rate
Conclusion • The CLUSTERING clusters the appropriate number of clusters. • Low-detail blocks could reduce bit rates • High-detail blocks and smooth side-match distortion could increase quality
