VECTOR QUANTIZING DEVICE, VECTOR DEQUANTIZING DEVICE, VECTOR QUANTIZING METHOD, AND VECTOR DEQUANTIZING METHOD

摘要

A vector quantizing device for dividing a sequence of vectors and quantizing them with an enhanced performance of vector quantization by using information on the correlation between the high and low order that the vector sequence has. The vector quantizing device (100) creates a predicted vector by prediction using a first quantization divided vector, creates the difference between the divided vector and the predicted vector as a predicted residual vector, and determines a second code by converting the predicted residual vector into a quantized vector. A vector dequantizing device (150) creates a predated vector by prediction using a first quantization divided vector, creates a second quantization divided vector by adding the predicted vector and the predicted residual vector, and creates a quantized vector by connecting the first and second quantization divided vectors.
