摘要： An encoding apparatus including an SBR (Spectral Band Replication) encoder creates high-frequency-component encoded data with reduced bits. The encoding apparatus converts an input signal into a frequency-domain spectrum signal, divides the converted spectrum signal into an arbitrary number of segments with respect to a time axis and a frequency axis, calculates a spectrum power of each segment and a feature parameter that represents a feature of the corresponding spectrum power, calculates a masking threshold using the calculated spectrum power of each segment, detects a segment having a spectrum power equal to or less than the calculated masking threshold, corrects the spectrum power of the detected segment, and encodes both the corrected spectrum power and the calculated feature parameter. The correction reduces a difference between quantization values, reducing the number of encoded bits.

摘要： An audio signal interpolation device comprises a spectral movement calculation unit which determines a spectral movement which is indicative of a difference in each of spectral components between a frequency spectrum of a current frame of an input audio signal and a frequency spectrum of a previous frame of the input audio signal stored in a spectrum storing unit. An interpolation band determination unit determines a frequency band to be interpolated by using the frequency spectrum of the current frame and the spectral movement. A spectrum interpolation unit performs interpolation of spectral components in the frequency band for the current frame by using either the frequency spectrum of the current frame or the frequency spectrum of the previous frame.
