Vector quantization(VQ) is one of the image compression technologies. VQ has the feature that mosquito-noise does not arise, but it has a problem in compression in a low frequency domain. In order to improve this problem, the generalized harmonic analysis(GHA) codes a low frequency component. The GHA can analyze a signal in a low frequency domain with a good performance. Therefore, this paper proposes the compression scheme of using the GHA in combination with VQ for improving image quality, and estimates the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme codes a low frequency component by the GHA, and applies VQ to the region with the GHA's error more than a threshold.
