    摘要: A larger number, L', of delta vectors .DELTA..sub.i (i=0, 1, 2, . . . , L'-1) than the required number L are each multiplied by a matrix of a linear predictive synthesis filter (3), their power (A.DELTA..sub.i).sup.T (A.DELTA..sub.i) is evaluated (42), and the delta vectors are reordered in decreasing order of power (43); then, L delta vectors are selected in decreasing order of power, the largest power first, to construct a tree-structure data code book (41), using which A-b-S vector quantization is performed (48). This provides increased freedom for the space formed by the delta vectors and improves quantization characteristics. Further, variable rate encoding is achieved by taking advantage of the structure of the tree-structure data code book.

In the speech coding system, the noise codebook includes a delta vector codebook which stores an initial vector and a plurality of delta vectors having difference vectors between adjoining code vectors. In addition, provision is made in the computing unit for the evaluation computation of a cyclic adding unit for cumulatively adding the delta vectors to virtually reproduce the code vectors.

    摘要: Speech coding uses a periodic excitation signal source, a non-periodic signal excitation source, a synthesizing unit, a filter, and an error evaluating unit. The synthesizing unit synthesizes a periodic excitation signal and a non-periodic excitation signal output from the above-mentioned sources to generate an excitation sound source signal. The filter regenerates an input speech signal from the excitation sound signal. The error evaluating unit controls the periodic excitation signal source and the non-periodic excitation signal source so that the above-mentioned units output periodic and non-periodic excitation signals which minimize a difference of the regenerated signal from an input speech signal. When the error is minimized, the above-mentioned sound source is supplied to a feedback excitation signal modifying unit. The feedback excitation modifying unit reduces a non-periodic component in the above-mentioned supplied signal so that the non-periodic component is reduced more when the relative amount of the periodic component is greater. The modified signal is fed back to the periodic excitation signal source unit to modify the content thereof.

    摘要: Several encoders perform a local decoding of a speech signal and extract excitation information and vocal tract information from a speech signal for an encoding operation. The transmission rate ratio between the excitation information and the vocal tract information are different for each encoder. An evaluation/selection unit evaluates the quality of decoded signals subjected to a local decoding in each of the encoders, determines the most suitable encoders from among the several encoders based on the result of the evaluation, and selects the most suitable encoder, thereby outputting the selection result as selection information. The decoder decodes a speech signal based on selection information, vocal tract information and excitation information. The evaluation/selection unit selects the output from the encoder in which the quality of a locally decoded signal is the most preferable. When vocal tract information changes little, the vocal tract information is not output, thereby allowing for increased quality of information. As much of the surplus of unused vocal tract information as possible is assigned to a residual signal. Thus, the quality of a decoded speech signal is improved.

    摘要: A gain-shape vector quantization apparatus is provided for encoding and decoding, to transmit and receive compressed speech signals. A selected plurality of vectors are read from a code book based upon an index signal. The vectors are added in an adder and synthesis filtered by a synthesis filter, in either order, to produce an output. This output is subtracted from an input speech signal to produce an error signal. An evaluation unit produces an index to select the plurality of vectors read from the code book memory based on the error signal in order to minimize this error signal. The evaluation unit produces gain adjusting signals which can be used to adjust gains of the vectors read from the code book. In an encoder, signals indicative of the gain adjusting signal and the index signal are transmitted by a transmitter of the encoder to send a quantized speech signal to a receiver of a decoder. In the decoder, after the signals indicative of the gain adjusting signal and the index are received by the receiver of the decoder, an index and gain adjusting signal is derived for use to control reading of vectors from a code book and gains thereon to reproduce the speech signal.
