A method and apparatus to search a codebook including pulses that model a predetermined component of a speech signal. The method includes the operations of selecting a predetermined number of paths corresponding to a predetermined number of pulse locations that are most consistent with the predetermined component, from among paths corresponding to pulse locations of a predetermined pulse location set allocated to at least one branch that connects one state of a predetermined Trellis structure to another state, performing the path selecting operation on each of states other than the one state, and selecting a path corresponding to pulse locations that are most consistent with the predetermined component from among paths including the selected paths, wherein each path corresponds to a union of plural tracks of an algebraic codebook. Accordingly, a number of calculations required during a codebook search is reduced.
摘要:
A coding apparatus including a base layer, a speech quality enhancement layer, and a multiplexer. The base layer filters an input speech signal using linear prediction coding and generates an excitation signal corresponding to the filtered speech signal through a fixed codebook search and an adaptive codebook search. The speech quality enhancement layer searches a fixed codebook using parameters obtained through the fixed codebook search in the base layer, or searches the fixed codebook using a target signal, which is obtained by removing a contribution of a fixed codebook of the base layer and a signal which is obtained by synthesizing and filtering a previous fixed codebook of the speech quality enhancement layer from a target signal for the fixed codebook search of the base layer. The multiplexer multiplexes signals generated by the base layer and the at least one speech quality enhancement layer.

摘要:
A block-constrained Trellis coded quantization (TCQ) method and a method and apparatus for quantizing line spectral frequency (LSF) parameters employing the same in a speech coding system wherein the LSF coefficient quantizing method includes: removing the direct current (DC) component in an input LSF coefficient vector; generating a first prediction error vector by performing inter-frame and intra-frame prediction for the LSF coefficient vector, in which the DC component is removed, quantizing the first prediction error vector by using the BC-TCQ algorithm, and by performing intra-frame and inter-frame prediction compensation, generating a quantized first LSF coefficient vector; generating a second prediction error vector by performing intra-frame prediction for the LSF coefficient vector, in which the DC component is removed, quantizing the second prediction error vector by using the BC-TCQ algorithm, and then, by performing intra-frame prediction compensation, generating a quantized second LSF coefficient vector; and selectively outputting a vector having a shorter Euclidian distance to the input LSF coefficient vector between the generated quantized first and second LSF coefficient vectors.
