Hi, I'm currently coding an adaption of the LBG vector quantization algorithm. At the point where you have attributed each vector to one of the code vectors, you must calculate the centroid of those vectors to become the new centroid of the code vectors. My question is this. If no vectors have been attributed to that particular code vector, then do you simply leave the code vector at its current value? Thanks, Tom

You could, but that kind of wastes one of your code vectors. Might as just remove it and maybe split one of the nearby code vectors into two, to keep the same number of codes. Ray
