AUDIO QUANTIZING BY REDUCED-COMPLEXITY VECTOR INDEXING

摘要

This invention relates to indexing an input vector contained in a set of vectors of a plurality of sets of vectors. The indexing comprises performing, in case that the input vector is contained in a set of vectors of a pre-defined group of one or more sets of vectors of the plurality of sets of vectors, a specific processing that is adapted to a characteristic of the sets of vectors in the pre-defined group of sets of vectors and is only applicable in case of input vectors contained in sets of vectors with the characteristic. The indexing further comprises performing, in case that the input vector is not contained in a set of vectors of the pre-defined group of sets of vectors, a general processing. The invention further relates to an according determining of a target vector contained in a set of vectors of a plurality of sets of vectors based on an index associated with said target vector.
