Vector Quantizers and Predictive Quantizers for Gauss-Markov Sources
Robert M. Gray, Y. Linde · IRE Transactions on Communications Systems · 1982
Low-rate vector quantizers are designed and simulated for highly correlated Gauss-Markov sources and the resulting performance is compared with Arnstein's optimized predictive quantizer and with Huang and Schultheiss' optimized transform coder. Two implementations of vector quantizers are considered: full search vector quantizers-which are optimal but require large codebook searches-and tree searched vector quantizers-which are suboptimal but require far less searching. The various systems are compared on the basis of performance, complexity, and generality of design techniques.
