- working in quantization for the DCT coefficients, I know I can apply
- MAX quantizer for the ac coefficients with a laplacian source,
- But for the DC term, a uniform quantization is best.
- What is the best approach for quantizing the DC term:
- 1- calculate the min and max, then quantizing using 8 bits after
- normalization. in this case, the min and max should be transmitted.
- 2- find a global max for the DC, normalize then quantize. I know in JPEG
- they use 16 as a quantization level.
-
- What is the advantage to set the range between -128,128 instead 0,255
- before taking the DCT ? ( I think that is what they do in JPEG)
-
- By the way, I was looking for a DCT in matlab, and I got one, not fast
- but not slow if somebody is intersted.
