Abstract

The authors consider the use of a vector quantization algorithm-the pairwise nearest neighbor algorithm-as a means of quickly combining the palettes of multiple images into a single shared palette that can be used for simultaneous display. This approach yields an efficient and practical method of managing palettes that adds little distortion to the images being displayed. The implementation and results of this work are described.
