Research paper thumbnail of Rate-distortion performance of source coders in the low bit-rate region for highly correlated Gauss-Markov source

Proceedings of GLOBECOM '93. IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1993

A highly correlated Gauss-Markov process models the intensity along the motion trajectories encountered in time varying image coding. We investigate the rate-distortion performance of lossy coding schemes operating on such sources in the practically important low bit-rate region of less than one bit per sample. Additional lossless entropy coding is assumed. Low complexity low bit-rate Code-Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) coders are designed, analyzed and simulated.

The analysis is at low rates in comparison with other EC quantization schemes. Based on N-th order rate-distortion function (RDF), EC quantization theory, and empirical methods, RDF memory gain and empirical space-filling gain (dimensionality N) at low bit rates are defined and calculated. These gains categorize and help us analyze and compare the available coding gains for various EC coders for a given rate and delay (N)

Research paper thumbnail of Low-delay CELP and tree coders: comparison and performance improvements

[Proceedings] ICASSP 91: 1991 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1991

Kabal (1988) and a low-day CELP (code-excited linear prediction) coder proposed by J.H. Chen (1989) are considered. The individual components (predictors, gain adaptation, excitation coding) of the two coders are analyzed. The performances of the two types of coders are compared. The two coders

Research paper thumbnail of Entropy-constrained code-excited linear predictive (EC-CELP) quantization

| In this contribution an entropy-constrained code-excited linear predictive quantizer (EC-CELP) ... more | In this contribution an entropy-constrained code-excited linear predictive quantizer (EC-CELP) is introduced. EC-CELP addresses the problems associated with high quality, low delay, low complexity, low bit rate source coding of sources with memory. The motivation comes from the applications in motion-compensated time varying image compression. As well, there is an information theoretic interest in instrumentable coding schemes with performance near the rate-distortion bound having minimal delay and computational cost. EC-CELP implicitly combines the advantages of VQ, predictive coding (PC), and analysis-by-synthesis with the merits of the entropy-constrained codebook design. Simulation results show the clear advantages of EC-CELP over alternative schemes. EC-CELP quantization { Recently, it has been shown that a CELP coder followed by an entropy coder operating on a highly correlated Gauss-Markov source, has an excellent ratedistortion performance in the low bit-rate region 1]. To establish and extend those results to an entropy constrained context, and to obtain locally optimum variable-length predictive block coding with respect to a delity criterion, an extension of the entropy constrained VQ (ECVQ) 2] algorithm based on a Lagrangian formulation is introduced.
