In this paper, a new adaptivevectorquantisation with variableblocksize based on orthogonal polynomials is proposed for colour image coding. The input colour image is partitioned into fixed larger blocksizes and the homogeneity/complexity of the local region is tested with the mean-normalised variance classifier. The homogeneous regions are encoded with fixed larger blocks and the complex regions are further divided into smaller blocksizes for encoding as it gives the wealth of low-level information such as the high detail and high number of contrast edges. The integer-based orthogonal polynomials transform is then applied on the variableblocksizes utilising the inter-correlation property of individual colour planes and interactions among the colour planes so as to reduce the vector dimension and hence the less computational cost. The proposed technique generates two dynamic codebooks and two backup codebooks adaptively and use rate-distortion cost criteria to encode both the homogeneous and complex regions separately. Since the proposed method encodes all the three colour components in single pass, the colour image encoding time is slightly higher than that of grey scale image coding but in contrast to three times in the existing colour image coding techniques.
