    摘要: A method and apparatus for frame classification and rate determination in voice transcoders. The apparatus includes a classifier input parameter preparation module that unpacks the bitstream from the source codec and selects the codec parameters to be used for classification, parameter buffers that store previous input and output parameters of previous frames, and a frame classification and rate decision module that uses the source codec parameters from the current frame and zero or more frames to determine the frame class, rate, and classification feature parameters for the destination codec. The classifier input parameter preparation module separates the bitstream code and unquantizes the sub-codes into the codec parameters. The frame classification and rate decision module comprises M sub-classifiers and a final decision module. The characteristics of the sub-classifiers are obtained by a classifier construction module, which comprises a training set generation module, a learning module and an evaluation module.

    摘要: A variable-rate voice transcoder that transcodes a bitstream representing frames of data encoded according to a first compression standard to a bitstream representing frames of data according to a second compression standard; the second compression standard defines a variable-rate voice codec. The method includes unquantizing a bitstream into a first set of parameters compatible with the first compression standard. The first set of parameters in addition to external control commands are then used to determine a frame class and a rate for the second compression standard. Next, the first set of parameters are transformed into a second set of parameters compatible with the second compression standard according to the frame-classification and rate determination decision. Lastly, the second set of parameters is packed into a bitstream compatible with the second compression standard.
