Abstract: A speech/audio encoding device for selectively allocating bits for higher precision encoding. The speech/audio encoding device receives a time-domain speech/audio input signal, transforms the speech/audio input signal into a frequency domain, and quantizes an energy envelope corresponding to an energy level for a frequency spectrum of the speech/audio input signal. The speech/audio encoding device further groups quantized energy envelopes into a plurality of groups, determines a perceptual significant group including one or more significant bands and a local-peak frequency, and allocates bits to a plurality of subbands corresponding to the grouped quantized energy envelopes, in which each of the subbands is obtained by splitting the frequency spectrum of the speech/audio input signal. The speech/audio encoding device encodes the frequency spectrum using the bits allocated to the subbands.

Abstract: A threshold amplitude is calculated for each subband obtained by splitting an extension band. For each subband, an amplitude of transform coefficients is compared with the threshold amplitude to extract a transform coefficient having an amplitude larger than the threshold amplitude as a representative transform coefficient. When a number of the extracted representative transform coefficients is less than a predetermined number, the threshold amplitude is updated in accordance with an amount by which the number of the representative transform coefficients is less than the predetermined number. A transform coefficient is extracted again using the updated threshold amplitude. For each of the subbands, a value of correlation is calculated between the representative transform coefficient and a normalized core encoded low-band transform coefficient. A subband having a largest value of correlation is selected when the number of the extracted representative transform coefficients reaches the predetermined number.
