An Improvement to Tree-Structured Vector Quantization

This study proposes an improvement to tree-structured vector quantization (TSVQ). The selected codeword of TSVQ is employed as the reference codeword. The dynamic triangular inequality elimination (DTIE) is employed to improve the performance of TSVQ. In the DTIE-TSVQ approach, the selected codeword and SNR are identical to that of full-search vector quantization (FSVQ), and the computational saving is better than that of TIE-VQ. The experimental results confirm that DTIE-TSVQ outperforms TIE-VQ, TSVQ.
