Switched Conditional PDF-Based Split VQ Using Gaussian Mixture Model

摘要

In this letter, we develop switched conditional PDF-based split vector quantization (SCSVQ) method using the recently proposed conditional PDF-based split vector quantizer (CSVQ). The use of CSVQ allows us to alleviate the coding loss by exploiting the correlation between subvectors, in each switching region. Using the Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based parametric framework, we also address the rate-distortion (R/D) performance optimality of the proposed SCSVQ method by allocating the bits optimally among the switching regions. For the wideband speech line spectrum frequency (LSF) parameter quantization, it is shown that the optimum parametric SCSVQ method provides nearly 2 bits/vector advantage over the recently proposed nonparametric switched split vector quantization (SSVQ) method.
