Quantizer design with mismatched side information at the decoder

Quantizer design for lossy compression with mismatched side information (SI) at the decoder is investigated. The statistical dependency between the source and SI is assumed to be a function of a random variable, dependency variable (DV). According to the available information about the DV, three design methods are proposed; namely, minimax solution, Average Distribution and Multi-Mode Decoder. The effectiveness of the design methods is illustrated by simulation results.
