Abstract

A variable dimension vector quantizer (VDVQ) has codewords of unequal dimensions. Here, a trellis-based sequential optimal VDVQ encoding algorithm is proposed. Also, a VDVQ codebook design algorithm based on splitting a node with equal or reduced dimensions is proposed that does not require any codebook parameter to be prespecified unlike known schemes. The VDVQ system is shown to outperform a few known VQ systems for AR(1) sources.
