• Abstract:
  This paper describes a Differential Vector Quantization (DVQ) algorithm which has been developed for real-time compression of digital video images. We discuss a number of experiments which were performed in order to insure that the algorithm is suitable for hardware implementation. We show that the DVQ algorithm performs comparably to scalar DPCM methods in terms of image quality and compression. We also show that the DVQ algorithm is much more robust in the the presence of channel noise than alternatives which employ variable-length encoding.
