Linearization of the Optimal Compressor Function for Gaussian Mixture Model Zoran H. Perić, Jelena R. Nikolić, Vladica N. Đor đ ević

In this paper, the linearization of the optimal compressor functions were done by using a method with a variable number of representational levels within segments. Design of linearized compandor for the proposed probability density function (GMM) was done, followed by analysis of the results. The paper is structured as following: 1. Introduction 2. GMM (Gaussian mixture model) 3. Linearization of the Optimal Compressor Function 4. Numerical Results 5. Conclusion

1. Introduction Scalar quantization. Uniform and non-uniform quantizers. Compression as the equivalent to a non-uniform quantization (Bennet). Which is the most commonly used compressor functions? What is the advantage of optimal compressor function?

2. GMM (Gaussian mixture model) In order to achieve a better approximation of the histogram of probability density function of real signals, than in the case of Laplacian and Gaussian sources, the Gaussian mixture model, was used. In this case, the Gaussian mixture model, which consists of two Gaussian components, was used:

3. Linearization of the Optimal Compressor Function Because of the very complex practical realization of compressor function, its linearization must be performed. Optimal compressor function: Optimal compressor function for the proposed Gaussian mixture model:

Segments are determined using the following expression: where L-is the number of segments. Number of cells within the segments: where c i and c i-1 - are the output values of the compressor for the corresponding values t i and t i-1, respectively.

Size of the amplitude quantum: Granular distortion in the case of linearized models: Probability that the current value of the input signal belongs to the i-th segment:

Overload distortion: where y ov - is the representational level with the highest value, Total distortion:

SQNR (Signal-to-quantization-noise ratio): where σ²-is the variance of the input signal,

Table I Values of SQNR for different number of representational levels of quantizer and for different mean values of Gaussian components 5. Conclusion The significance of this work lies in the fact that in order to achieve a better approximation of the histogram of probability density function of real signals, than in the case of Laplacian and Gaussian sources [7,8], the Gaussian mixture model, which consists of two Gaussian components, was used [4]. This is reflected in the significantly higher value of SQNR than in the case of linearization of the optimal compressor functions reported in [7,8].
