populosity

When we read of the great populosity of ancient Ireland, in so much that she was obliged from time to time, to throw off part of this plethora by foreign invasions, we must naturally explore the causes of this amazing decay of inhabitants, in our own days!

The populosity algorithm1 [32] selects the n most frequent colors in the image as the representative set of color vectors C. Being very easy to implement, this procedure is quite popular.

6.7.1. Quantization by Direct Selection. An example of the quantization by direct selection method is the populosity algorithm. Populosity algorithm. This method initially constructs the frequency histogram of the image and then chooses, for the K quantization levels, the K colors appearing more frequently in the image gamut (i.e., the most populous colors).
