摘要:
There is provided an audio coding device which appropriately sets the quantization bit number by a small calculation amount in each stage when coding an input audio signal by performing multi-stage normalization/quantization. A quantization information calculation section determines total quantization information idw10, based on normalization information idsf, and allocates the total quantization information idw10 for quantization information idw11 and quantization information idw12. At this time, the quantization information calculation section limits the quantization information idw11 by a limiter lim1, and allocates the total quantization information idw10 for quantization information idw11. If the quantization information idw11 exceeds the limiter lim1, the excess is allocated for the quantization information idw12. A first normalization section and a first quantization section normalizes and quantizes a frequency spectrum mdspec1 in the first stage. A second normalization section and a second quantization section normalizes and quantizes a differential frequency spectrum mdspec2 in the second stage.
摘要:
The present invention relates to encoding apparatuses which allow encoding to be performed such that the occurrence of pre-echo and post-echo is suppressed. A predetermined waveform analysis is applied to a low-frequency-component input time-sequential signal which includes a high-frequency component occurring at a specific time, and a low-frequency-component time-sequential signal like that shown in FIG. 9A is generated according to a result of the analysis. The low-frequency-component time-sequential signal is removed from the input time-sequential signal to generate a residual time-sequential signal like that shown in FIG. 9B. An amplitude control process is applied such that the amplitude of the residual time-sequential signal is made almost constant in a block which serves as a unit of encoding to generate a time-sequential signal to be quantized, like that shown in FIG. 9C. The time-sequential signal to be quantized is quantized and encoded. The present invention can be applied to audio recording and reproduction apparatuses.

Coding is made possible with higher efficiency while the listener is prevented from feeling a sense of incongruity. An adaptive mixing section performs a mixing process on input signals on the basis of distortion factor information supplied from a distortion factor detection section, and controls the operation time of MS stereo coding or IS stereo coding. Furthermore, the adaptive mixing section creates power correction information in accordance with a mixing coefficient, and causes power correction to be performed during reproduction. A coding control section selects a coding method of a coding process performed in a coding section and supplies it to the coding section. The coding section selects dual coding, MS stereo coding, or IS stereo coding in accordance with the instructions from the coding control section, and codes a spectrum signal supplied from a domain conversion section.

There is provided an audio coding device which appropriately sets the quantization bit number by a small calculation amount in each stage when coding an input audio signal by performing multi-stage normalization/quantization. A quantization information calculation section determines total quantization information idwl0, based on normalization information idsf, and allocates the total quantization information idwl0 for quantization information idwl1 and quantization information idwl2. At this time, the quantization information calculation section limits the quantization information idwl1 by a limiter lim1, and allocates the total quantization information idwl0 for quantization information idwl1. If the quantization information idwl1 exceeds the limiter lim1, the excess is allocated for the quantization information idwl2. A first normalization section and a first quantization section normalizes and quantizes a frequency spectrum mdspec1 in the first stage. A second normalization section and a second quantization section normalizes and quantizes a differential frequency spectrum mdspec2 in the second stage.
摘要:
A sound signal encoder for high efficiency encoding of sound signals from a plurality of channels is provided which includes a to-be-correlated object setter (52), to-be-correlated object selector (56) and a variable-length encoder (58). The to-be-correlated object setter (52) sets, on the basis of left-channel frequency information held in a left-channel frequency information holder (50) and right-channel frequency information held in a right-channel frequency information holder (51), index [i] indicating which ones of sine waves on the left channel are to be correlated with, namely, are to be subtracted from, sine waves on the right channel. The to-be-correlated object selector (56) selects a default value read from a storage unit (55) or index [i]-th amplitude information read from a left-channel amplitude information holder (53) as an object to be subtracted from the i-th amplitude information on the right channel according to the index [i]. The variable-length encoder (58) makes variable-length encoding of a difference resulted from subtraction of the left-channel amplitude information or default value as the to-be-correlated object from the amplitude information on the right channel.
摘要:
Any disagreement of the power level before encoding an audio signal and the power level after encoding the audio signal is adjusted to improve the sound quality to the auditory sense. The present invention provides an audio signal encoding apparatus comprising, a band dividing section that divides an input audio signal by a plurality frequency sub-bands, a spectral transform section that transforms the audio signal of each frequency sub-band into a spectral signal, a normalizing section that normalizes each spectral signal by means of a scale factor and generates a normalized spectral signal, a quantizing section that quantizes each normalized spectral signal and generates a quantized spectral signal, a scale factor adjusting section that adjusts the value of the scale factor used by the normalizing section according to the normalized spectral signal and the quantized spectral signal, and an encoding section that encodes at least each quantized spectral signal and the scale factor used by the normalizing section or the scale factor adjusted by the scale factor adjusting section. The scale factor adjusting section is adapted to compare the absolute value of the difference of the energy of the normalized spectral signal and the energy of the quantized spectral signal with a first threshold value for each frequency sub-band and, if the absolute value of the difference is greater than the first threshold value, adjust the value of the scale factor used by the normalizing section so as to make the absolute value of the difference of the energies not greater than a second threshold value.
摘要:
In an audio-information encoding apparatus, in order to encode an audio signal containing a white-noise component, an index iL indicating the energy level of the white-noise component and an index iR designating the start index of a random-number table are introduced into a code train. In an audio-information decoding apparatus (20), a white-noise generating unit (25) uses the indices iL and iR contained in the code train, thereby generating a white-noise signal Sw(t) on the time axis, which has the same level as the white noise, and an adder (26) adds the white-noise signal to an audio signal Sf(t) decoded on the time axis, outputting as an output audio signal So(t).
摘要:
Multiple operating systems are operated on a multi-core system without applying any changes to the operating systems, and unauthorized function invocation and unauthorized data access among the operating systems are detected, thereby assuring high reliability. Access authorization is checked at two levels. At the upper level, a database managed by the multiple operating systems is provided. The database describes which procedure/function, task, or the like can be used to call a function. With reference to this information, it is determined whether invocation of the function has been authorized, by using an invocation authorization management program. At the lower level, access authorization for access to a memory eventually reached when the invocation processing is converted is checked by an access authorization management module using hardware.
