Abstract:
A method and apparatus to encoding or decoding an audio signal is provided. In the method and apparatus, a noise-floor level to use in encoding or decoding a high frequency signal is updated according to the degree of a voiced or unvoiced sound included in the signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for encoding/decoding an audio signal. Sections which are not used to output noise components near important spectral components and sub-bands which are not used to output noise components, are determined to be encoded or decoded, so that the efficiency of encoding and decoding an audio signal increases, and sound quality can be improved using less bits.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding an audio signal. According to the present application, a signal of a high frequency band above a preset frequency band is adaptively encoded or decoded in the time domain or in the frequency domain by using a signal of a low frequency band below the preset frequency band. As such, the sound quality of a high frequency signal is not deteriorate even when an audio signal is encoded or decoded by using a small number of bits and thus coding efficiency may be maximized.
Abstract:
Provided are a frame error concealment method and apparatus and an error concealment scheme construction method and apparatus. The frame error concealment method includes generating a new signal by synthesizing a plurality of previous signals that are similar to a signal of an error frame and reconstructing the signal of the error frame using the generated signal.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding or decoding an audio signal or a speech signal. In the encoding method, encoding is performed by performing domain transformation on a received signal in units of frequency bands by applying a psychoacoustic model, encoding the transformation result with respect to predetermined one or more frequency bands by using a high temporal resolution coding tool, and then quantizing the encoding result. In the decoding method, decoding is performed by inversely quantizing signals obtained by encoding in units of frequency bands, decoding one or more signals from among the inversely quantized signals, which are allocated to one or more frequency bands which have a predetermined domain resolution, determined by applying the psychoacoustic model, that is greater than a predetermined value, according to a predetermined method, and then inversely transforming either the inversely quantized or the one or more decoded signals.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus to encode and/or decode a speech signal and/or an audio signal. The apparatus includes a first domain transforming unit, a frequency domain encoding unit, and a multiplexing unit to encode the speech signal and/or an audio signal. The apparatus includes a demultiplexing unit, a frequency domain decoding unit, and a second domain inverse transformation unit to decode the speech signal and/or the audio signal. The method and apparatus are capable of effectively encoding or decoding all of a speech signal, an audio signal, and a mixed signal of a speech signal and an audio signal, and improving the quality of sound by using a small number of bits.
