Rate-Distortion-Perception Tradeoff for Gaussian Vector Sources

This paper studies the rate-distortion-perception (RDP) tradeoff for a Gaussian vector source coding problem where the goal is to compress the multi-component source subject to distortion and perception constraints. Specifically, the RDP setting with either the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence or Wasserstein-2 metric as the perception loss function is examined, and it is shown that for Gaussian vector sources, jointly Gaussian reconstructions are optimal.

Distinguished Lecturers

The Distinguished Lecturers program promotes interest in information theory by supporting chapters who wish to invite prominent information theory researchers to give talks at their events.
