Abstract:
An audio signal encoding method and apparatus for efficiently encoding an audio signal in an interval having many birth sinusoids and enabling tracking of sinusoidal signals in the next interval, and a computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program for executing the audio signal encoding method are provided. According to the method and apparatus, by applying transform coding instead of parametric coding to a frame having many birth sinusoids, the sinusoids are encoded, thereby reducing the number of bits required for the encoding and enabling efficient coding. Also, when transform coding is applied to a frame of a predetermined interval, an inverse transform of the transform coding is applied to the encoded data in order to decode the data, and then sinusoids are extracted from the decoded data, thereby enabling tracking of sinusoids of the next frame.
