In a method of encoding input signals (CH1 to CH3; 400 to 450) in a multi-channel encoder (5; 15) to generate corresponding output data having down-mix output signals (610, 620) together with complementary parametric data (600), the method includes a first step of down-mixing input signals (CH1 to CH3; 400 to 450) to generate the corresponding down-mix output signals (610, 620), and a second step of processing the input signals (CH1 to CH3; 400 to 450) during down-mixing to generate the parametric data (600) complementary to the down-mix output signals (610, 620). Processing of the input signals (CH1 to CH3; 400 to 450) involves including information in the down-mix signals (610, 620) which is useable during subsequent decoding of the down-mix output signals (610, 620) and the parametric data (600) to determine at least some parameter data and thereby enabling representations of the input signals (CH1 to CH3; 400 to 450) to be subsequently regenerated.

摘要:
Coding of an audio signal is provided where an indicator of the frequency variation of sinusoidal components of the signal is used in the tracking algorithm of a sinusoidal coder where sinusoidal parameters from appropriate sinusoids from consecutive segments are linked. By applying an indicator such as a warp factor or polynomial fitting, more accurate tracks are obtained. As a result, the sinusoids can be encoded more efficiently. Furthermore, a better audio quality can be obtained by improved phase continuation.

摘要:
A hybrid sinusoidal/pulse excitation encoder has been recently proposed for constructing a scalable audio encoder The base layer consisting of data supplied by the sinusoidal encoder retains the main features of the input signal achieving medium to high quality audio at a very low bit rate. Quality can be further enhanced by adding excitation signal layers associated with a decreasing decimation that increasingly model more subtle aspects of the original signal. The invention provides a method of mixing the different excitation signal layers so that the full concept of scalability is realised without compromising the quality of the encoded signals. The mixing is controlled via a quality parameter that weights the significance of previous layers when constructing a new higher layer.

The invention relates to a linking unit 100, a parametric encoder 400 and a method for generating linking information L indicating components of consecutive extended segments sp and sc which may be linked together in order to form a sinusoidal track. The segments sp and sc approximate consecutive segments of a sinusoidal audio or speech signal s. The linking unit comprises a calculating unit 120 for generating a similarity matrix S(m,n) in response to received sinusoidal code data and an evaluating unit 140 for receiving and evaluating said similarity matrix S in order to generate said linking information by selecting those pairs of components m,n the similarity of which is maximal. According to the invention the calculating unit 120 is adapted to calculate the similarity matrix S by additionally considering information about the phase consistency between the components of the extended previous segment sp and the extended current segment sc. In that way the selection of components suitable for being linked together is improved resulting in the definition of correct tracks.
