摘要: We investigate an efficient color-image quantization technique that is based on existing binary splitting algorithm [ IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 39, 2677 ( 1991)]. The sequentially splits the color space into polytopal regions and picks a palette from each region. As originally proposed, complexity of this function image size. introduce fast histogramming step so will depend only number distinct colors. Data structures are employed permit storage full-color histogram at moderate memory cost. In addition, we apply prequantization reduces initial colors while preserving quality along visually important coordinates. Finally, incorporate spatial-activity measure to reflect increased sensitivity human observer errors in smooth regions. This preserves quantitative qualitative performance original considerably reducing computation time.
