Abstract
Apparatus is provided for performing two stages of high-speed compression of vector data inputs. Two input channels of vector data are compressed and encoded through a vector quantizer encoder to provide a first stage of data compression. The output of the first encoder is further decoded then compressed and encoded in a novel high-speed computing mapping means which may be implemented in the form of a look-up table. Vector quantized encoded output is double the previous data compression of a single stage. The second stage of data compression causes very little degradation of the data from the first stage of data compression.

17. A method for high-speed compression of vector data comprising the steps of:
-
storing groups of scalar data, formatting said groups of scalar data into a plurality of vector dimensional data inputs, vector quantize-encoding said plurality of vector data inputs to provide a compressed encoded index data output indicative of a unique index address, and addressing a pre-computed look-up table with said unique index address to provide a concatenated vector space representative vector index of said compressed encoded index thereby further compressing said compressed encoded index data.
