METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PYRAMID VECTOR QUANTIZATION INDEXING AND DE-INDEXING OF AUDIO/VIDEO SAMPLE VECTORS

摘要

A method for pyramid vector quantization deindexing of coefficients derived from an audio or video signal includes receiving a first sign and an input index as codewords from an ingoing bit stream. The first sign and the input index represent the coefficients, and the first sign is a sign of a first or last non-zero coefficient in an output vector to be created. The method includes deindexing the input index into the output vector with a pyramid vector quantization de-enumeration scheme, assigning a sign of the first or last non-zero coefficient in the output vector according to the received first sign, and outputting the output vector.
