Construction of a Lossy Source Code Using LDPC Matrices
Shigeki Miyake, Jun Muramatsu · 2007
Research into applying LDPC code theory, which is used for channel coding, to source coding has received a lot of attention in several research fields such as Distributed Source Coding. In this paper a source coding problem with a fidelity criterion is considered. Matsunaga et al. [6] constructed a lossy code under the conditions of a binary alphabet, a uniform distribution, and a Hamming measure of fidelity criterion. We extend their results and construct a lossy code under the extended conditions of a binary alphabet, a distribution that is not necessarily uniform, and a fidelity measure that is bounded and additive and show that the code can achieve the optimal rate, rate-distortion function.
