Abstract
In a system where two types of data are to be compressed using hierarchical vector quantization (HVQ), it would be typical for there to be two compression tables, one optimized for each type of data. A boundary between the two types may occur within a block to be compressed. In this case, a third table, optimized for a block having both types of data, is used.
