In this paper, we designed an LSF coefficient quantizer of the wideband speech codec that can produce high quality speech service. For the efficient LSF coefficient quantizer, the interframe correlation was used. Also we separately quantized the LSF coefficients with high and low interframe correlation. Predictive pyramid vector quantizer (PVQ) was used for quantizing the LSF coefficients with high interframe correlation, and PVQ was used for quantizing the LSF coefficients with low interframe correlation. Experiments show that the proposed UF quantizer can quantize LSF information in 40 bits/frame, with an average spectral distortion (SD) of 1 dB and less than 3.87% frames having SD greater than 2 dB.

The irreversible 9/7 JPEG2000, which is one of sub-band coding techniques, has a problem of severe picture quality distortion at the edge and the background caused by the quantization error below 0.15bpp. In this paper, to solve such problems we propose a VQ(Visual Quantizer) based on L-pdf(Laplace probability density function) statistical characteristics of high frequency sub-bands. The proposed VQ is designed by visual parameter for improving the subjective quality and weighting parameter for increasing the compression ratio. A proposed method, based on 9/7 JPEG2000 scheme, gives the high subjective quality to reconstructed images below 0.15bpp and provides minimum MSE(Mean-Squared Error) regardless of the compression ratio.

This paper provides a new approach for modeling of vector quantizer(VQ) followed by analysis and design of subband codecs with imbedded VQ's. We compute the mean squared reconstruction error(MSE) which depend on N the number of entries in each codebook, k the length of each codeword, and on the filter bank(FB) coefficients in subband codecs. We show that the optimum M-band filter bank structure in presence of pdf-optimized vector quantizer can be designed by a suitable choice of equivalent scalar quantizer parameters. Specific design examples have been developed for two different classes of filter banks, paraunitary and the biorthogonal FB and the 2 channel case. These theoretical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation.

본 논문에서는 현재 MPEG, JPEG 압축 알고리즘에서 쓰이는 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)기반의 손실 영상 압축에 사용되는 양자화(Quantization) 처리에 필요한 나눗셈 연산기를 제안한다. 영상 데이터 처리를 위한 양자화기(Quantizer)는 DCT로부터 매 사이클마다 영상 데이터를 입력 받아 양자화 처리를 해야하며 보다 나은 영상 데이터를 위해 최종 나눗셈 결과 즉, 몫을 소수 첫째자리에서 반올림(Rounding)해야 한다. 이를 위해 반올림 동작이 추가된 Pipelined Nonrestoring Array Divider를 설계하였다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 DCT로부터 나온 영상 데이터를 제안된 구조의 양자화기로 양자화하여 일반 양자화기에서 나온 압축된 데이터와 비교해 보았다. 또한 합성기(Synthesis)를 통하여 실제 하드웨어 크기를 분석하였다.

In this paper, attempts have been made to code images employing a separating mean vector quantizer(SMVQ). Then we analyzed the performance of the SMVQ experimentally as well as analytically. The results of simulation with natural images are presented. But, conclusively the performance of the SMVQ technique is not better than that of the conventional vector quantizer. In this paper, a brief analysis in which we revealed that the performance, based on the mean square error measure, of the SMVQ is not favorable is favorable is discussed.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive BTC algorithm using the characteristics of the error signals. The BTC algorithm has a avantage that it is low computational complexity, but a disadvantage that it produces the ragged edges in the reconstructed images for th esloping regions beause of coding the input with 2-level signals. Firstly, proposed methods classify the input into low, medium, and high activity blocks based on the variance of th einput. Using 1-level quantizer for low activity block, 2-level for medium, and 4-level for high, it is adaptive methods that reduce bit rates and the inherent quantization noises in the 2-level quantizer. Also, in case of processing high activity block, we propose a new quantization level allocation algorithm using the characteristics of the error signals between the original signals and the reconstructed signals used by 2-level quantizer, in oder that reduce bit rates superior to the conventional 4-level quantizer. Especially, considering the characteristics of input block, we reduce the bit rates without incurrng the visual noises.

Locally optimum detectors are useful for detection of signals with small strength, but it is often difficult to implement the exact form of the locally optimum nonlinearity. In this paper, a suboptimum quantizer detection system in which the locally optimum nonlinearity is replaced by a uniform quantizer and a coder is proposed. The proposed system does not require iteration to obtain the quantizer parameters and is easily implementable.

In designing the quantizer of a coding scheme using a training sequence (TS), the training algorithm tries to find a quantizer that minimizes the distortion measured in the TS. In order to evaluate the trained quantizer or compare the coding scheme, we can observe the minimized distortion. However, the minimized distortion is a biased estimate of the minimal distortion for the input distribution. Hence, we could often overestimate a quantizer or make a wrong comparison even if we use a validating sequence. In this paper, by compensating the minimized distortion for the TS, a new estimate is proposed. Compensating term is a function of the training ratio, the TS size to the codebook size. Several numerical results are also introduced for the proposed estimate.

Conventional pragmatic TCMs need sector phase quantizer to apply Viterbi decoder which uses 3-bit soft decision. A symbol transformation applied to the incoming I-channel and Q-channel symbols allows to use Viterbi decoder without sector phase quantizer. We analyzed structure and performance of proposed decoder, and applied it to the turbo decoder. We know that the performance of proposed decoder is better than that of conventional decoder by 1 ［㏈］because of increasing of Euclidean distance.

In this paper, we propose a new subband quantizer which is a type of quad-tree for applying to digital hologram compression based on Fresenelet transform. After executing Fresnelet transform to the captured digital holgoram, we analyze effect of the designed quantizer for the reconstructed objects from analyzing average energy of each coefficient and visual importance in all subbands. We analyze distribution of coefficient and set dynamic range for each subband, and then design subband quantizer. For enhancing effectiveness of the designed quantize, we adopt a method using the coefficients which are located out of dynamic range, which are named by exception indices. From this, we can obtain more effective quantizer which has higher performance in a range of σ′ = 5.0.
