Data Compression Conference (DCC '96)
Robust Quantization for Image Coding and Noisy Digital Transmission
Snowbird, UT

ISBN: 0-8186-7358-3
A robust quantizer is developed for encoding a variety of memoryless sources and transmission over the binary symmetric channel (BSC). The system combines channel optimized scalar quantization (COSQ) with all-pass filtering, the latter performed using a binary phase-scrambling/descrambling method. Applied to a broad class of sources, the robust quantizer achieves the same performance as the Gaussian COSQ for the memoryless Gaussian source. This quantizer is used for image coding for transmission over a BSC. An explicit error protection code is used only to protect the side information. The PSNR performance degrades gracefully as the channel bit error rate increases.
