On Optimal Bit Allocation for Classification-Based Source-Dependent Transform Coding

Figure 1

Example of rate-distortion bound improvement for source-dependent quantization. Data are assumed from 4 different sources, transformed by discrete cosine transform (DCT). Ideal classification after the DCT transform prior to quantization. Class probabilities 𝑤 𝑘 are 0.7, 0.1, 0.1, and 0.1. Original sources are stationary unit variance, zero mean, first-order, Markov processes with 𝜌 𝑘 from the set { 0 . 9 5 , 0 . 7 5 , 0 . 6 5 , a n d 0 . 5 5 } .
