摘要: Multiple description quantization is a signal compression technique for robust networked multimedia communication. In this paper we consider the problem of optimally quantizing random variable into two descriptions, with each being produced by side quantizer convex codecells. The optimization objective to minimize expected distortion given probabilities receiving either and both descriptions. formulated as one shortest path in weighted directed acyclic graph constraints on number types edges. An $O(K_1K_2N^3)$ time algorithm designing optimal two-description presented, where $N$ cardinality source alphabet, $K_1$, $K_2$ are codewords quantizers, respectively. This complexity reduced $O(K_1K_2N^2)$ exploiting Monge property function. Furthermore, if $K_1 = K_2 K$ descriptions transmitted through channels same statistics, then design can be solved $O(KN^2)$ time.
