摘要:
It is so arranged that a voice code can be converted even between voice encoding schemes having different subframe lengths. A voice code conversion apparatus demultiplexes a plurality of code components (Lsp1, Lag1, Gain1, Cb1), which are necessary to reconstruct a voice signal, from voice code in a first voice encoding scheme, dequantizes the codes of each of the components and converts the dequantized values of code components other than an algebraic code component to code components (Lsp2, Lag2, Gp2) of a voice code in a second voice encoding scheme. Further, the voice code conversion apparatus reproduces voice from the dequantized values, dequantizes codes that have been converted to codes in the second voice encoding scheme, generates a target signal using the dequantized values and reproduced voice, inputs the target signal to an algebraic code converter and obtains an algebraic code (Cb2) in the second voice encoding scheme.

A voice intensifier capable of reducing abrupt changes in the amplification factor between frames and realizing excellent sound quality with less noise feeling by dividing input voices into the sound source characteristic and the vocal tract characteristic, so as to individually intensify the sound source characteristic and the vocal tract characteristic and then synthesize them before being output. The voice intensifier comprises a signal separation unit for separating the input sound signal into the sound source characteristic and the vocal tract characteristic, a characteristic extraction unit for extracting characteristic information from the vocal tract characteristic, a corrective vocal tract characteristic calculation unit for obtaining vocal tract characteristic correction information from the vocal tract characteristic and the characteristic information, a vocal tract characteristic correction unit for correcting the vocal tract characteristic by using the vocal tract characteristic correction information, and a signal synthesizing means for synthesizing the corrective vocal tract characteristic from the vocal tract characteristic correction unit and the sound source characteristic, so that the sound synthesized by the signal synthesizing means is output.

In a voice packet communication system, a voice packet loss concealment device compensates for the deterioration of voice quality due to voice packet loss. In the device, a detecting section detects a loss of a voice packet and outputting information; an estimating section estimates the voice characteristics of the lost segment using a pre-loss voice packet received before the lost segment or a post-loss voice packet received after the lost segment; a pitch signal generating section generates a pitch signal having the voice characteristics; and a lost packet generating section outputs the pitch signal generated by the pitch signal generating section, with the voice characteristics estimated by the estimating section, which allows abnormal noise and feeling of mute, subjective deterioration of naturalness and continuity to be improved, and the voice packet loss concealment to be further improved.
摘要:
A code separation/decoding unit restores a vocal tract characteristic sp1 and a vocal source signal r1. A vocal tract characteristic modification unit modifies the vocal tract characteristic sp1 and outputs the modified vocal tract characteristic sp2. In this method, an emphasized vocal tract characteristic sp2 is generated to output by applying formant emphasis, using amplification ratios calculated based on estimated formants, directly to the vocal tract characteristic sp1 for instance. A signal synthesis unit synthesizes the modified vocal tract characteristic sp2 and the vocal source signal r1 to generate and output an output voice, s.

Communications from a transmission side to a reception side neither changing the format of voice code data nor requiring another transmission path or increasing the transmission quantity of control information are controlled utilizing information obtained on the reception side. A system includes a first communication equipment provided with a control information embedding unit for embedding control information that is used for a control of communications from a communication partner to the own communication equipment and that is obtained on the own communication equipment side in the communication data to be transmitted to the communication partner side and a second communication equipment provided with a communication control unit for controlling communications to the first communication equipment side using control information transmitted from the first communication equipment.

摘要:
When a voice encoding apparatus embeds any data in encoded voice code, the apparatus determines whether data embedding condition is satisfied using a first element code from among element codes constituting the encoded voice code, and a threshold value. If the data embedding condition is satisfied, the apparatus embeds optional data in the encoded voice code by replacing a second element code with the optional data. When a voice decoding apparatus extracts data that has been embedded in encoded voice code, the apparatus determines whether data embedding condition is satisfied using a first element code from among element codes constituting the encoded voice code, and a threshold value. If the data embedding condition is satisfied, the apparatus determines that optional data has been embedded in the second element code portion of the encoded voice code and extracts this embedded data.
