A Fast Palette Reordering Technique Based on GPU-Optimized Genetic Algorithms

Color re-indexing is one of main approaches for improving the loss-less compression of color indexed images. Zero-order entropy reduction of indexes matrix is the key to obtain high compression ratio. However, obtaining the optimal re-indexed palette is a challenging problem that cannot be solved by brute-force approaches. In this paper we propose a novel re-indexing approach where the Travelling Salesman Problem is solved through Ant Colony Optimization. Our method is proved to achieve high quality results by outperforming state-of-art ones in term of compression gain. Additionally, we exploit clustering and GPU computing to make our solution extremely fast.
