Abstract

We introduce a two-stage bit allocation algorithm analogous to the algorithm for weighted universal vector quantization (WUVQ). The encoder uses a collection of possible bit allocations (typically in the form of a collection of quantization matrices) rather than a single bit allocation (or single quantization matrix). We describe both an encoding algorithm for achieving optimal compression using a collection of bit allocations and a technique for designing locally optimal collections of bit allocations. We demonstrate performance on a JPEG style coder using the mean squared error (MSE) distortion measure. On a sequence of medical brain scans, the algorithm achieves up to 2.5 dB improvement over a single bit allocation system, up to 5 dB improvement over a WUVQ with first- and second-stage vector dimensions equal to 16 and 4 respectively, and up to 12 dB improvement over an entropy constrained vector quantizer (ECVQ) using 4 dimensional vectors.
