Abstract
In this letter, we consider the lossy coding of a non-uniform binary source based on GF(q)-quantized low-density generator matrix (LDGM) codes with check degree dc=2. By quantizing the GF(q) LDGM codeword, a non-uniform binary codeword can be obtained, which is suitable for direct quantization of the non-uniform binary source. Encoding is performed by reinforced belief propagation, a variant of belief propagation. Simulation results show that the performance of our method is quite close to the theoretic rate-distortion bounds. For example, when the GF(16)-LDGM code with a rate of 0.4 and block-length of 1,500 is used to compress the non-uniform binary source with probability of 1 being 0.23, the distortion is 0.091, which is very close to the optimal theoretical value of 0.074.
