Friday, February 16, 1990. 2:00 pm. Middlesex College, Room 316 Dr. Kaizhong Zhang and Dr. Xiaolin Wu Department of Computer Science The University of Western Ontario will speak on: An O(KN) time and O(N) space algorithm for optimum K-level quantization on histograms of N points A B S T R A C T We give a new algorithm for the optimum K-level quantization on histograms of N points. By utilizing a useful property of optimum quantizer, we reduce the problem to one of searching for the row minimum in a totally monotonic matrix. This results in a new O(KN) time and O(N) space algorithm. The previously best algorithm has an time complexity O(KNlogN). Coffee and cookies will be served after the colloquium in room 300
