TLDR
A formal development of rate-distortion theoretic results for distortion functions based on quotients of input and reproduction symbols is presented and asymptotic approximations to the performance of the optimal scalar quantizer for these gain terms are obtained.Abstract:
In many linear predictive coding (LPC) speech compression systems the encoding of the LPC parameters is performed using a product code book scheme. One possible approach consists in organizing the set of LPC reproduction models as the Cartesian product of a vector code book describing the shape of each reproduction LPC model and a scalar codebook describing the gain or energy. We first present a formal development of rate-distortion theoretic results for distortion functions based on quotients of input and reproduction symbols. We also obtain theoretical bounds for the rate-distortion function of the gain term of LPC systems (which, depending on the quantization scheme, can use about 10-25 percent of the transmission rate), as well as asymptotic (small distortions) approximations to the performance of the optimal scalar quantizer for these gain terms, when the overall fidelity criterion is the Itakura-Saito distortion measure, which is a member of the class of quotient distortion measures. The approximations and bounds are compared finally with experimental results.read more
