摘要:
A method for compressing data is disclosed. The method may include receiving data from one or more data sources. The method may also include selectively classifying the data into one or more data streams, the one or more data streams including at least PCM-encoded data and image data. The method may further include separately compressing the PCM-encoded data and the image data into first and second compressed bit-streams. The method may also include shuffling the first and second compressed bit-streams.

A method to reduce memory requirements for a packet loss concealment algorithm in the event of packet loss in a receiver of pulse code modulated voice signals. Packet losses are concealed by using the spectral analysis filter memory to smooth a signal gap and by using a technique for determining a maximum repeatable waveform range instead of using the pitch period to reproduce lost packets. The invention uses fewer processing resources and results in improved performance compared to a packet loss concealment algorithm under G.711 Appendix I standards.

A method of initializing an ITU Recommendation G.729 Annex B compliant voice activity detection (VAD) device is disclosed, having the steps of (1) determining a first set of running average background noise characteristics in accordance with Recommendation G.729B; (2) determining a second set of running average background noise characteristics; and (3) substituting the second set of running average background noise characteristics for the first set when a specific event occurs. The specific event is a divergence between the first and second sets of running average background noise characteristics.

A method of initializing an ITU Recommendation G.729 Annex B voice activity detection (VAD) device is disclosed, having the steps of (1) extracting a set of parameters from a signal that characterize the signal; (2) calculating an energy measure of the signal from the set of parameters; (3) comparing the energy measure with a reference value; (4) determining an initial value for an average of a noise characteristic of the signal; and (5) counting the number of times the energy measure equals or exceeds the reference level.Also disclosed is a method of converging an ITU Recommendation G.729 Annex B voice activity detection (VAD) device, having the steps of: (1) determining a noise identification threshold value; (2) comparing a number of energy measures of a signal to the noise threshold value; (3) determining a first value representing an average of the number of energy measures, when the energy measure is less than the noise threshold, wherein only the energy measures of the number of energy measures having values less than the noise threshold value are used to determine the first value; (4) determining a second value representing an average of the number of energy measures; and (5) substituting the first value for the second value when a specific event occurs, indicating the divergence of the two values.
摘要:
A method to reduce memory requirements for a packet loss concealment algorithm in the event of packet loss in a receiver of pulse code modulated voice signals. A voice playout unit in the receiver shares its nominal delay buffer with a history buffer of a packet loss concealment algorithm up to a maximum limit described in a standard. This reduces or eliminates need to allocate memory for the history buffer. A history buffer can also be extended to retain an original portion of voice signal packets received prior to a packet loss as well as generated voice signals as they are generated. A scratch buffer is used as a working buffer and replaces the function of a pitch buffer.

A distributed intelligence conferencing system having a plurality of conferencing nodes to connect groups of participants to a conference. Each of the conferencing nodes provides for the connection of one or more participants to the conference. Each node includes a DSP for distributed signal processing. The nodes DSP includes: A signal measuring device for measuring features of the signals from each of the participants. A single core speaker tracking algorithm identifies the active speaker on a local node based upon the relative signal features of each of the number of participant input signals. A communication device communicates the measured signal features for the active local participant input signals only to all other conferencing nodes. A multi core speaker tracking algorithm compares the features of the signals from the speakers on the local node with the features of the signals from the speakers on other nodes. A final determination is made to identify the active speakers for the entire conference so that only the signals from a limited number of speakers transmitted across the system bus.

In a packet-based multimedia communication system, such as ITU G.711, using linear prediction parameters to derive the linear prediction error of the codec. The linear prediction error is then used as a feature of the Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID) algorithm. Generating a SID frame by comparing linear prediction errors between frames in the input data stream to a threshold.

In a voice activity detection (VAD) device a method for defining tone signals comprises defining a threshold for zero amplitude change, calculating a zero crossing rate of a signal, extracting a set of parameters from a plurality of duration periods of the signal, defining a tolerance threshold between the plurality of duration periods when a zero amplitude change occurs, calculating a maximum difference between the plurality of duration periods, and comparing the maximum difference with the threshold. The method is implemented in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) recommendation G.729 Annex B VAD.
摘要:
A method for compressing data is disclosed. The method may include classifying the data from a plurality of data sources into classifications including at least PCM-encoded data and data structure information. The method may also include determining data states associated with the PCM-encoded data and the data structure information. The method may further include compressing the PCM-encoded data and the data structure information into compressed bit-streams based on the determined data states. The method may also include shuffling the compressed bit-streams to introduce randomness.
