Abstract(in English) In this study, a new segment quantization (SQ) method is proposed, which is based upon Lempel-Ziv algorithm, and it is applied to quantize LSP coefficients of speech signal. By using the proposed method, we can design a segment codebook whose rate-distortion characteristic is better than that of an ordinary VQ, or SQ. The proposed quantizer is compared with other practical coders such as the G.729 and the MELP, by substituting those original LSF quantizers with the proposed segment quantizer. As a result, at the same spectral distortion, nine bits per frame were saved compared with the scalar quantizer of the MELP (25 bits/frame), and four bits per frame were saved compared with the MA prediction VQ of the G.729 (18bits/frame), respectively.
