摘要:
Techniques and tools related to coding and decoding of audio information are described. For example, redundant coded information for decoding a current frame includes signal history information associated with only a portion of a previous frame. As another example, redundant coded information for decoding a coded unit includes parameters for a codebook stage to be used in decoding the current coded unit only if the previous coded unit is not available. As yet another example, coded audio units each include a field indicating whether the coded unit includes main encoded information representing a segment of an audio signal, and whether the coded unit includes redundant coded information for use in decoding main encoded information.

Various strategies for rate/quality control and loss resiliency in an audio codec are described. The various strategies can be used in combination or independently. For example, a real-time speech codec uses intra frame coding/decoding, adaptive multi-mode forward error correction [“FEC”], and rate/quality control techniques. Intra frames help a decoder recover quickly from packet losses, while compression efficiency is still emphasized with predicted frames. Various strategies for inserting intra frames and signaling intra/predicted frames are described. With the adaptive multi-mode FEC, an encoder adaptively selects between multiple modes to efficiently and quickly provide a level of FEC that takes into account the bandwidth currently available for FEC. The FEC information itself may be predictively encoded and decoded relative to primary encoded information. Various rate/quality and FEC control strategies allow additional adaptation to available bandwidth and network conditions.

Techniques and tools are described for processing reconstructed audio signals. For example, a reconstructed audio signal is filtered in the time domain using filter coefficients that are calculated, at least in part, in the frequency domain. As another example, producing a set of filter coefficients for filtering a reconstructed audio signal includes clipping one or more peaks of a set of coefficient values. As yet another example, for a sub-band codec, in a frequency region near an intersection between two sub-bands, a reconstructed composite signal is enhanced.

Techniques and tools related to delayed or lost coded audio information are described. For example, a concealment technique for one or more missing frames is selected based on one or more factors that include a classification of each of one or more available frames near the one or more missing frames. As another example, information from a concealment signal is used to produce substitute information that is relied on in decoding a subsequent frame. As yet another example, a data structure having nodes corresponding to received packet delays is used to determine a desired decoder packet delay value.

摘要:
An audio encoder encodes side information into a compressed audio bitstream containing encoding parameters used by the encoder for one or more encoding techniques, such as a noise-mask-ratio curve used for rate control. A transcoder uses the encoder generated side information to transcode the audio from the original compressed bitstream having an initial bit-rate into a second bitstream having a new bit-rate. Because the side information is derived from the original audio, the transcoder is able to better maintain audio quality of the transcoding. The side information also allows the transcoder to re-encode from an intermediate decoding/encoding stage for faster and lower complexity transcoding.
