COMPANDED LATTICE VQ FOR EFFICIENT PARAMETRIC LPC QUANTIZATION (ThuPmPO1)

چکیده
Source coding based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) has been recently proposed for LPC quantization. We address in this paper the related problem of designing efficient codebooks for Gaussian vector sources. A new technique of ellipsoidal lattice vector quantization (VQ) is described, based on 1) scalar companding optimized for Gaussian random variables and 2) rectangular lattice codebooks with fast trellis−based nearest neighbor search. The Barnes−Wall lattice L16 in dimension 16 is applied to quantize the line spectrum frequencies (LSF) of wideband speech signals. The LSF are computed in a manner similar to the AMR−WB speech coding algorithm. The performance of memoryless and predictive LSF quantization for different GMM orders (4, 8 and 16) is evaluated at 36 and 46 bits per frame. The companded lattice VQ is shown to perform better than its scalar counterpart, with similar complexity.

A Glottal Vocoder Employing Vector Quantization
This paper describes a speech coder for low bit rates using a parametric representation of voiced excitation waveforms (Glottal ARX) and standard LPC for unvoiced. For efficient compression purposes the excitation and spectrum parameters are quantized with vector quantization (VQ). This has resulted in a glottal vocoder operating at 1320 bits/s and sounding more natural than a standard LPC voco...
متن کاملExtension of two-stage vector quantization-lattice vector quantization
This paper is the extension of two-stage vector quantization–(spherical) lattice vector quantization (VQ–(S)LVQ) recently introduced by Pan and Fischer [1]. First, according to high resolution quantization theory, generalized vector quantization–lattice vector quantization (G-VQ–LVQ) is formulated in order to release the constraint of the spherical boundary for the second-stage lattice vector q...

The idea of applying vector quantization (VQ) to linear prediction coding (LPC) to realize a very low bit-rate speech coder with reasonable speech quality is investigated in this research. Instead of encoding LPC parameters directly, line spectral frequency (LSF) coefficients are obtained through a transformation of LPC and then encoded via VQ in the proposed scheme. In order to utilize the int...

متن کاملEfficient vector quantisation of line spectral frequencies using the switched split vector quantiser
In this paper, we investigate the use of a switched split vector quantiser (SSVQ) for coding linear predictive coding (LPC) parameters. The SSVQ is applied to quantise the LPC parameters in terms of line spectral frequencies from the TIMIT database and its performance is compared with the split vector quantiser. Experimental results show that the SSVQ provides a better trade-off between bit-rat...
