Abstract
Vector Predictive Quantization (VPQ) is proposed for coding the short-term spectral envelope of speech. The proposed VPQ scheme predicts the current spectral envelope from several past spectra, using a predictor codebook. The residual spectrum is coded by a residual codebook. The system operates in the log-spectral domain using a sampled version of the spectral envelope. Experimental results indicate a prediction gain in the range of 9 to 13 dB and an average log-spectral distance of 1.3 to 1.7 dB. Informal listening tests suggest that replacing the conventional scalar quantizer in a 4.8 Kbits/s CELP coder by a VPQ system allows a reduction of the rate assigned to the LPC data from 1.8 Kbits/s to 1.0 Kbits/s without any obvious difference in the perceptual quality.Keywords
