Two-Component GMM Source Coding and Optimization

A protograph low-density parity-check (P-LDPC) code-based lossy coding system is proposed for compressing the Gaussian mixture model source, as a particular case of shipping transportation systems. The compression performance is benchmarked against the rate-distortion bounds for this source. Some effective methods are developed to improve both the encoder and the decoder to reduce the compression distortion. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve good performance while maintaining low complexity.
