Abstract

Reflected residual vector quantization (RRVQ) was introduced as an alternative design algorithm for Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ) a.k.a. Multistage Vector Quantization. The advantage of RRVQ lies in its optimal single-path search of large RVQ trees. Furthermore, since RRVQ provides a structured codebook its output entropy is lower than that of RVQ codebook. The entropy-constrained RRVQ (EC-RRVQ) codebooks were designed for memoryless Gaussian and Laplacian sources with improved rate-distortion performance as compared to the entropyconstrained RVQ (EC-RVQ). In this paper the performance of EC-RRVQ is studied for a wide class of generalized Gaussian density sources. Generalized Gaussian density function (GGD) is a density function similar to the normal density function, however, it is defined in terms of the mean, standard deviation, and shape parameter which controls the exponential rate of decay. It has been successfully used in modeling transformed image pixels and subhand coefficients. Simulation results demonstrate that improved performance can be expected for GGD sources.
