Abstract

Reference Neighbor Search (RNS) is a new technique for fast searching of vector quantization(VQ), while maintaining near-optimal visual quality. However, the performance is greatly affected by the selection of reference point. In this research, we employed Self-Organized Feature Map to generate a topological preserving codebook and adaptively predicted the reference by a simple scheme. The predicted reference is close to the input, together with searching across multiple queues, the searching cost was significantly reduced while maintaining optimal visual quality.
