Multiple description quantization of sinusoidal parameters

A new scheme for sinusoidal audio coding named multiple description spherical trellis-coded quantization is proposed and analytic expressions for the point densities and expected distortion of the quantizers are derived based on a high-resolution assumption. The proposed quantizers are of variable dimension, i.e., sinusoids can be quantized jointly for each audio segment whereby a lower distortion is achieved. The quantizers are designed to minimize a perceptual distortion measure subject to an entropy constraint for a given packet-loss probability. In experiments, the performance of the quantizers is compared to the corresponding single description spherical quantizer and associated bounds are found to increase robustness towards packet-losses.
