| Abstract: |
In this paper, a low-complexity, high-quality recursive vectorquantizer based on a Generalized Hidden Markov Model of the source is presented. Capitalizing on recent developments in vector quantization based on Gaussian Mixture Models, we extend previous work on HMM-based quantizers to the case of continuous vector-valued sources, and also formulate a generalization of the standard HMM. This leads us to a family of parametric source models with very flexible modelling capabilities, with which are associated low-complexity recursive quantization structures. The performance of these schemes is demonstrated for the problemof wideband speech spectrum quantization, and shown to compare favorably to existing state-of-the-art schemes. |
