Abstract:
PURPOSE: A fast searching method of a line spectrum pair quantizer according to predictive split vector quantization and predictive split matrix quantization is provided which reduces the size of a code book to be searched using sequence characteristic of line spectrum frequency coefficient in a vector code book searching procedure requiring lots of calculations, to decrease the amount of calculations without attenuating spectrum distortion performance. CONSTITUTION: A criterion is obtained using a target vector changed to have sequence characteristic and an object code vector. A DC component is added to the object code vector and a new code book for five sub-matrices is made. A specific row used for deciding a searching range is selected from a code book reconstructed to have sequence characteristic and code vectors are descending-aligned. The searching range is determined using the sequence characteristic of the target vector having the sequence characteristic and aligned code vectors. The criterion is calculated only within the determined searching range to find an optimal object code vector.
