Color quantization algorithm based on neural network and linear pixel shuffling

In this paper, a novel color quantization algorithm is presented. It is a post-clustering technique, based on Self-Organizing Kohonen Network and Linear Pixel Shuffling (LPS). LPS provides a method for uniformly visiting pixels in an image. The initial weighted vectors and training sets are also determined by LPS. Limited samples are taken in order to speed up the training process of the improved neural network. The influence of different values of sampling rate is discussed. The presented algorithm is compared with other well-known approaches in terms of quantization error, executive time as well as human perception. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm results in a significant improvement of image quality and reduction of the running time without depending on the set of initial conditions
