Colour Palette Compression via Vector Quantization
for Colour Image Transmission
3. Experiments
The proposed method is applied to the three band images. The result are shown in figure 2. it is clearly that the proposed technique gives a higher colour quality comparing with the method of colour ration by 3:3:2 of red, green and blue colour. The table of mean square error confirms the results.

4.Conclusion
For [MxN] pixels of colour image , the proposed method provides only nx[MxN] bits instead of 24x[MxN] bits of original colour image. n is the selected number of binary bit for 2n different code vectors. However, the proposed techniques needs 2nx24 bits for representing the palette of 2n different colour. Therefore, the total number of bits for this proposed method is nx[MxN]+2nx 24 bits.
