Rate-Distortion Analysis and Modeling of Dead-Zone Plus Uniform Threshold Scalar Quantization for Generalized Gaussian Random Variables

摘要

This paper provides a systematical rate-distortion (R-D) analysis and modeling of generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) under the dead-zone plus uniform threshold scalar quantization (DZ+UTSQ) and nearly-uniform reconstruction quantization (NURQ). In R-D analysis, we clearly explain the property of GGD source under efficient DZ+UTSQ/NURQ. On this basis, in R-D modeling, the heuristic D-R model is proposed.
