66 nips-2005-Estimation of Intrinsic Dimensionality Using High-Rate Vector Quantization


Source: pdf

Author: Maxim Raginsky, Svetlana Lazebnik

Abstract: We introduce a technique for dimensionality estimation based on the notion of quantization dimension, which connects the asymptotic optimal quantization error for a probability distribution on a manifold to its intrinsic dimension. The definition of quantization dimension yields a family of estimation algorithms, whose limiting case is equivalent to a recent method based on packing numbers. Using the formalism of high-rate vector quantization, we address issues of statistical consistency and analyze the behavior of our scheme in the presence of noise.

However, he used only a 500-frame subsequence and introduced additional mirror symmetry.
