    摘要: A method and device eradicate the occasional instability inherent in analysis-by-synthesis speech/audio codecs and caused in particular by channel errors during transmission of highly periodic signals such as high-frequency sine waves. Analysis-by-synthesis techniques involve production, in response to the speech/audio signal and at regular time intervals called frames, of (a) a set of spectral parameters for use in driving a synthesis filter in view of synthesizing the speech/audio signal, and (b) a pitch gain for constructing a past-excitation-signal component supplied to the synthesis filter. In accordance with the instability eradication method, the first step consists of detecting a set of conditions including (i) a resonance condition assessed from the spectral parameters, (ii) a duration condition detected when the resonance condition has prevailed for at least the M most recent frames, M being an integer greater than 1, and (iii) a gain condition which evidences consistently-high values of the pitch gain in the N most recent frames, N being an integer greater than 1. To eradicate the occasional instability, the pitch gain is reduced to a value lower than a given threshold whenever these three conditions are detected.

    摘要: Instability inherent in analysis-by-synthesis speech/audio codecs and caused in particular by channel errors during transmission of highly periodic signals such as high-frequency sine waves is removed. Analysis-by-synthesis techniques involve production, in response to the speech/audio signal and at regular time intervals called frames, of (a) a set of spectral parameters for use in driving a synthesis filter in view of synthesizing the speech/audio signal, and (b) a pitch gain for constructing a past-excitation-signal component supplied to the synthesis filter.

    摘要: A post-processor 317 and method substantially for enhancing synthesised speech is disclosed. The post-processor 317 operates on a signal ex(n) derived from an excitation generator 211 typically comprising a fixed code book 203 and an adaptive code book 204, the signal ex(n) being formed from the addition of scaled outputs from the fixed code book 203 and adaptive code book 204. The post-processor operates on ex(n) by adding to it a scaled signal pv(n) derived from the adaptive code book 204. A gain or scale factor p is determined by the speech coefficients input to the excitation generator 211. The combined signal ex(n)+pv(n) is normalised by unit 316 and input to an LPC or speech synthesis filter 208, prior to being input to an audio processing unit 209.

    摘要: An encoder encodes digital signals representative of data by classifying the digital signals into first and second classes indicative of their influence on data quality and subjects them to error detection encoding capable of generating at least two error detection codes which respectively correspond to the first and second classes. A decoder receives the encoded digital signals classified into first and second digital signal classes, decodes the error detection codes, and generates error signals, corresponding to the respective digital signal classes, from which the quality of the received digital signals is estimated and the utility of the received digital signals is determined.
