摘要:
In a transmission system a variable length encoder is used to reduce the average bitrate of a sequence of symbols. In order to limit the maximum length of the code it is proposed to transmit the sequence of symbols only in coded form if the length of the coded sequence is lower than a predetermined value

In a harmonic speech encoder (16) a speech signal to be encoded is represented by a plurality of LPC parameters which are determined by a LPC parameter computer (30), a pitch value and a gain value. The speech encoder comprises a (coarse) pitch estimator (38) for determining a coarse pitch, and a refined pitch computer (32) to determine a refined pitch from the coarse pitch value. The refined pitch value is determined in an analysis by synthesis way, in which a refined pitch value is selected which results in a minimum error measure between a representation of a synthesized speech signal and a representation of the original speech signal.
摘要:
In a speech encoder (4), a speech signal is encoded using a voiced speech encoder (16) and an unvoiced speech encoder (14). Both speech encoders (14,16) use analysis coefficients to represent the speech signal. The analysis coefficients are determined more frequently when a transition from voiced to unvoiced speech or vice versa is detected. This has been found to achieve significantly improved quality of speech reproduced from the encoded speech signal.

A transmission system comprising a transmitter with a signal encoder, the signal encoder having an input for a signal to be encoded and a codebook entry selector for selecting a codebook entry for obtaining a synthetic signal giving a best approximation of a signal representative of the input signal, wherein the codebook entry includes a plurality of samples that can assume more than two values and is identified with a sequence of symbols, a receiver having a decoder with a codebook for deriving the codebook entry from the sequence of symbols received from the transmitter, wherein the codebook entries corresponding to sequences of symbols that differ in one particular symbol value also differ in one single sample value.
摘要:
In a transmission system for a quasi-periodic signal, an encoder (12) transmits to a decoder (28) no more than a single period from a total number of periods of the quasi-periodic signal in encoded form. In this decoder (28) the lacking periods of the quasi-periodic signal are reconstructed by means of interpolation. For obtaining an enhanced quality of the reconstructed signal, a signal segment is transmitted that is representative of two successive periods of the quasi-periodic signal. This signal segment may contain two successive periods, but may also be a signal segment having the length of a single period and being determined by a weighted sum of two successive periods.

A transmission system includes a speech decoder, the speech decoder having a detector which determines a level of background noise in a speech signal and a post filter in electrical communication with an output of the decoder when the level of the background noise is equal to or less than a threshold value. A synthesis filter is connected to the output when the level of the background noise is greater than the threshold value.
摘要:
A speech transmission system with an input speech signal applied to a speech encoder for encoding the speech signal which is transmitted via a communication channel to a speech decoder. Background noise dependent processing elements in the speech encoder and/ or speech decoder are introduced to improve the performance of the transmission system. The parameters of the perceptual weighting filter in the speech encoder are derived by calculating linear prediction coefficients from a speech signal which is processed by means of a high pass filter. An adaptive post filter in a speech decoder is bypassed when the noise level exceeds a threshold value.
摘要:
A transmission system contains a speech coder which utilizes a pitch detector that is arranged to select a characteristic auxiliary signal portion from the signal to be coded in order to improve the quality of the pitch detection. The pitch is found by searching in the speech signal for signal portions that correspond to the characteristics auxiliary signal portion and by calculating the time difference between the respective signal portions.

A data processing system buffers sequential data for the duration of cyclically recurrent delay times. Memory location allocation is performed in such a way, that the memory is used efficiently without data-shifting after a read-out, and that the address generator is fairly simple.

The invention describes a processor system suitable for processing video signal samples on a real-time basis. Signals are derived from the samples for driving an imaging unit. For this purpose, one or more processor modules are provided with processor elements, operating in parallel in time, which are connected to a crossbar switch. A module contains at least one arithmetic/logic processor element and at least one memory processor element. Moreover, there is a clock device, the frequency of which bears a fixed relationship to the frequency with which the video signal samples are obtained.
