Question 6

Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

What statement is correct for comparing scalar quantization and vector quantization?

Vector quantization does not improve the rate-distortion performance relative to scalar quantization, but it has a lower
complexity.Vector quantization does not improve the rate-distortion performance relative to scalar
quantization, but it has a lower complexity.

Vector quantization improves the performance only for sources with memory. For iid sources, the best scalar quantizer has
the same efficiency as the best vector quantizer.


By vector quantization we can always improve the rate-distortion performance relative
to the best scalar quantizer.

Your answer is correct.

The correct answer is:

By vector quantization we can always improve the rate-distortion performance relative

to the best scalar quantizer.

Question 15

Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

What is a Lloyd quantizer?

None of the above

Lloyd quantizer is the scalar quantizer that yields the minimum distortion for a given source and a given number of
quantization

The output of a Lloyd quantizer is a discrete signal with a uniform pmf 

any other scalar quantizer that yields a smaller distortion at the same rate.

Your answer is correct.

The correct answer is:
The output of a Lloyd quantizer is a discrete signal with a uniform pmf
