title: Discrete minimum entropy quantization.
abstract: We present a simple lower bound on the entropy of a quantized signal and a method for determining the minimum entropy quantization, subject to a maximum distortion, for a discrete memoryless random process. This quantization allows more efficient use of variable-order models for compression of images and sound.
