Piecewise uniform switched vector quantization of the memoryless two-dimensional Laplace source

Abstract

A simple and complete asymptotical analysis of an optimal piecewise uniform quantization of two-dimensional memoryless Laplacian source with the respect to distortion (D) i.e. the mean-square error (MSE) is presented. Piecewise uniform quantization consists of L different uniform vector quan-tizers. Uniform quantizer optimality conditions and all main equations for optimal number of output points and levels for each partition are presented (using rectangular cells). The optimal granular distortion (i) for each partition in a closed form is derived. Switched quantization is used in order to give higher quality by increasing signal-to-quantization noise ratio (SQNR) in a wide range of signal volumes (variances) or to decrease necessary sample rate
