Hi
I have questions and I hope that someone will reply me.
- I Know that for SVQ (Split vector quantization) design codebook for LSF (line
spectral frequencies) quantization, the centroid of each cell is calculated as
the mean of all vectors (belong to this cell) even if the weighted Euclidean
distance is used while designing the codebook. This is to ensure that the LSF
parameters are sorted (lsf0
-But the design algorithms (sequential and joint design algorithms) for MSVQ
(from reference [1] see below) take into account the weighted Euclidean distance
while computing the centroid. Hence the LSF parameters may be not sorted !!!!!.
Note that in FS MELP quantizer (which is MSVQ quantizer), if we check the
codevectors of the first stage, we will see that the LSF parameters are
perfectly sorted !!!!!!.
I hope that someone will reply me.
