Fast algorithm for calculating alphabet-constrained rate-distortion functions
W.T. Penzhorn, G.J. Kühn · Electronics Letters · 1989
A new algorithm is presented for the calculation of ratedistortion functions for which the reproduction alphabet has been constrained to a finite size with its reproduction symbols occurring with fixed probability. The algorithm can be used to calculate reproduction alphabets for a trellis coded quantiser for the encoding of analogue information sources.
