A New Fixed-Rate Quantization Scheme Based on Arithmetic Coding
The construction of fixed-rate vector quantizers based on entropy-coded scalar quantizers has been suggested in [1]. In [2], a particular case of such quantizers based on prefix-coded scalar quantizers was suggested and a very simple binary encoding scheme was presented as well as several reduced-complexity search methods. In this paper, we use arithmetic coding as the binary encoding scheme and show that good performance and low complexity are attained.
