Abstract

A variable dimension vector quantization method that uses a single "universal" codebook. The method can be given the interpretation of sampling full-dimensioned codevectors in the universal codebook and generating subcodevectors of the same dimension as input data subvector, which dimension may vary in time. A subcodevector is selected from the codebook to have minimum distortion between it and the input data subvector. The subcodevector with minimum distortion corresponds to the representative, full-dimensioned codevector in the codebook. The codebook is designed by inverse sampling of training subvectors to obtain full-dimension vectors, then iteratively clustering the training set until a stable centroid vector is obtained.
