Temporal decomposition based on a rate-distortion criterion

This letter addresses a temporal decomposition (TD) technique that is based on a rate-distortion criterion. In the proposed TD scheme, a set of interpolation functions is constructed from a given training corpus, and the optimum target points are found in the sense of minimizing, not only spectral distortion, but also bit rates. The results of the simulation show that an average spectral distortion of about 1.4 dB can be achieved at an average bit rate of about 8 bits/frame.
