Abstract

A frame design technique for use with vector selection algorithms, for example matching pursuits (MP), is presented. The design algorithm is iterative and requires a training set of signal vectors. The algorithm, called method of optimal directions (MOD), is an improvement of the algorithm presented by Engan, Aase and Husoy see (Proc. ICASSP '98, Seattle, USA, p.1817-20, 1998). The MOD is applied to speech and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, and the designed frames are tested on signals outside the training sets. Experiments demonstrate that the approximation capabilities, in terms of mean squared error (MSE), of the optimized frames are significantly better than those obtained using frames designed by the algorithm of Engan et. al. Experiments show typical reduction in MSE by 20-50%.
