The Linde–Buzo–Gray (LBG) algorithm, also known as the LBG algorithm or Holt's algorithm, is a popular algorithm used for vector quantization in data compression and pattern recognition. It is particularly useful in applications like image compression, speech coding, and other areas where one needs to represent a large number of data points using fewer representative points or "codewords".
