Abstract
An encoding/decoding system employing vector quantization realizes a high quality encoding and decoding with decreased quantizing errors, employing a small sized codebook which faithfully represents each of the inputted waveform vectors. An encoding/decoding system includes an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus, each having a codebook for storing information vectors representative of a predetermined number of signal patterns and index that determine the information vectors. The encoding apparatus compares a vector representing an object signal to be quantized with each information vector in the codebook, selects an information vector that is closest to the vector and outputs an index for the information vector. The decoding apparatus obtains an information vector corresponding to the index obtained at the encoding apparatus side by referring to the codebook and decodes the object signal. The codebook utilizes a temporary memory connected thereto. The content of the codebook is temporarily moved to the temporary memory when the identity of the speaker changes. The contents of the temporary memory are read out when the original speakers returns to the system.
