摘要： An envelope sequence is provided that can improve approximation accuracy near peaks caused by the pitch period of an audio signal. A periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation device according to the present invention takes, as an input audio signal, a time-domain audio digital signal in each frame, which is a predetermined time segment, and generates a periodic combined envelope sequence as an envelope sequence. The periodic-combined-envelope-sequence generation device according to the present invention comprises at least a spectral-envelope-sequence calculating part and a periodic-combined-envelope generating part. The spectral-envelope-sequence calculating part calculates a spectral envelope sequence of the input audio signal on the basis of time-domain linear prediction of the input audio signal. The periodic-combined-envelope generating part transforms an amplitude spectral envelope sequence to a periodic combined envelope sequence on the basis of a periodic component of the input audio signal in the frequency domain.

摘要： An encoder and a decoder are provided that are capable of reproducing a frequency-domain envelope sequence that provides high approximation accuracy around peaks caused by the pitch period of an audio signal by using a small amount of code. An encoder of the present invention comprises a periodic-combined-envelope generating part and a variable-length coding part. The periodic-combined-envelope generating part generates a periodic combined envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence based on a spectral envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence corresponding to a linear predictive coefficient code obtained from an input audio signal and on a frequency-domain period. The variable-length coding part encodes a frequency-domain sequence derived from the input audio signal. A decoder of the present invention comprises a periodic-combined-envelope generating part and a variable-length decoding part. The periodic-combined-envelope generating part generates a periodic combined envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence based on a spectral envelope sequence which is a frequency-domain sequence corresponding to a linear predictive coefficient code and on a frequency-domain period. The variable-length decoding part decodes a variable-length code to obtain a frequency-domain sequence.

摘要： In encoding, a frequency-domain sample sequence derived from an acoustic signal is divided by a weighted envelope and is then divided by a gain, the result obtained is quantized, and each sample is variable-length encoded. The error between the sample before quantization and the sample after quantization is quantized with information saved in this variable-length encoding. This quantization is performed under a rule that specifies, according to the number of saved bits, samples whose errors are to be quantized. In decoding, variable-length codes in an input sequence of codes are decoded to obtain a frequency-domain sample sequence; an error signal is further decoded under a rule that depends on the number of bits of the variable-length codes; and from the obtained sample sequence, the original sample sequence is obtained according to supplementary information.

摘要： An autocorrelation calculation unit 21 calculates an autocorrelation Ro(i) from an input signal. A prediction coefficient calculation unit 23 performs linear prediction analysis by using a modified autocorrelation R′o(i) obtained by multiplying a coefficient wo(i) by the autocorrelation Ro(i). It is assumed here, for each order i of some orders i at least, that the coefficient wo(i) corresponding to the order i is in a monotonically increasing relationship with an increase in a value that is negatively correlated with a fundamental frequency of the input signal of the current frame or a past frame.

When p is an integer equal to or greater than 1, a linear prediction coefficient sequence which is obtained by linear prediction analysis of audio signals in a predetermined time segment is represented as a[1], a[2], . . . , a[p], and ω[1], ω[2], . . . , ω[p] are a frequency domain parameter sequence derived from the linear prediction coefficient sequence a[1], a[2], . . . , a[p], an LSP linear transformation unit (300) determines the value of each converted frequency domain parameter ˜ω[i] (i=1, 2, . . . , p) in a converted frequency domain parameter sequence ˜ω[1], ˜ω[2], . . . , ˜ω[p] using the frequency domain parameter sequence ω[1], c[2], . . . , ω[p] as input, through linear transformation which is based on the relationship of values between ω[i] and one or more frequency domain parameters adjacent to ω[i].
