Abstract
Provided is a method for converting a dimension of a vector. The vector dimension conversion method for vector quantization includes the steps of: extracting a specific parameter having a pitch period from an input speech signal and then generating a vector of a dimension that varies according to the pitch period; dividing an entire frequency domain of the generated vector of the variable dimension into at least two frequency domains; and converting the vector of the variable dimension into vectors of mutually different fixed dimensions according to the divided frequency domains. Thereby, not only an error due to the vector dimension conversion is suppressed but codebook memory required for the vector quantization is effectively reduced.
