Coding using Gaussian mixture and generalized Gaussian models

چکیده
In transform image coding, the histograms of transform coeecients can be approximately modeled by generalized Gaussian (GG) random variables. However, the GG models may not t the DC distribution. One approach uses DPCM for the DC data, which greatly complicates bit allocation; another assumes a single Gaussian (SG) model, which may be a poor model. As an alternative, this paper proposes a nite Gaussian mixture (GM) model for the DC data. The GM approach does not require tweaking of the DPCM quan-tizer stepsize and can allocate bits optimally between the DC and AC data; it is also more exible than the SG model. Experimentally, the GM method matched DPCM at medium rates and gave 1{5 dB higher PSNR at low and high rates. The GM method also matched the performance of the SG model and gave 0.5{2 dB higher PSNR when the SG assumption failed.

Parameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...

متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...
