摘要:
This invention introduces apparatus and methods to efficiently encode the quantization parameters of split multi-rate lattice vector quantization. In this invention, by doing spectral analysis on the split multi-rate vector quantized spectrum, the spectrum is split to null vectors region and non-null vectors region. For the null vectors region, instead of transmitting series of indication for null vectors, an indication of null vectors region and the quantized value of index of the ending vector in the null vectors region (or the number of the null vectors in the null vectors region) are transmitted. The indication of null vectors region can be designed in many ways, the only requirement is the indication should be distinguishable in the decoder side. The ending index or the number of null vectors can be quantized by an adaptively designed codebook. By applying of the invented method, some bits can be saved from the codebook indications.

In this invention, the design of the Huffman table can be done offline with a large input sequence database. The range of the quantization indices (or differential indices) for Huffman coding is identified. For each value of range, all the input signal which have the same range will be gathered and the probability distribution of each value of the quantization indices (or differential indices) within the range is calculated. For each value of range, one Huffman table is designed according to the probability. And in order to improve the bits efficiency of the Huffman coding, apparatus and methods to reduce the range of the quantization indices (or differential indices) are also introduced.

Provided is an audio encoding device that can suppress degradation of audio quality. Spectral coefficients of synthesized signal from CELP core layer are utilized to fulfill spectral gaps in error signal spectrum coefficients from a transform coding layer. By both spectral coefficients, decoded signal spectral coefficients are generated. The decoded signal spectral coefficients and the input signal spectral coefficients are divided into a plurality of sub bands. In each sub band, the energy of the input signal spectral coefficient corresponding to a zero decoded error signal spectral coefficient is calculated, and the energy of the decoded signal spectral coefficient corresponding to the zero decoding error signal spectral coefficient is calculated, and their energy ratio is calculated and is quantized and transmitted.

An encoder apparatus is provided that suppresses the quality degradation of encoding processes. An ultimate selection candidate limiting unit uses the spectrum of an input signal and a residual spectrum to designate a given number of pre-selected suppression factors to a CELP component suppressing unit, which uses the designated suppression factors to generate a suppressed spectrum. A CELP residual signal spectrum calculating unit, to which the suppressed spectrum is input, calculates a residual spectrum. A conversion encoding unit uses the residual spectrum to perform a second encoding process. A distortion evaluating unit determines one of the designated suppression factors by use of the spectrum of a second decoded signal generated by decoding a second code obtained by the second encoding process, and further by use of the suppressed spectrum and the spectrum of the input signal.

Disclosed is a decoder capable of improving the sound quality of a decoded sound signal in an encoding method which combines speech encoding and music encoding in a hierarchical structure. A transform-encoding decoding unit (202) decodes transform-encoded data to generate a spectrum of a decoded transform-encoded signal. A band decision unit (203) uses the spectrum of the decoded transform-encoded signal to decide whether each of a plurality of bands in which frequency components of an input signal are divided constitute a first band in which a transform encoded pulse is not established or a second band in which said pulse is established. A CELP component suppression unit (207) suppresses the spectrum of a CELP decoded signal, which is the frequency component of a decoded signal of CELP encoded data, to the extent that suppression in the first band is weaker than suppression in the second band.
摘要:
An encoding device and encoding method improve a quality of a decoded signal under very low bit rate conditions using a small amount of computation. A spectrum corrector performs correction processing on a subspectrum in each subband in such a manner that samples equal to or greater than a subspectrum average value are left unchanged and samples smaller than the subspectrum average value are replaced by zero. As a result of this, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of bits required to quantize the subspectrums without a substantial reduction in quality in a local searcher and in a multi-rate indexer.
摘要:
An encoding device, a decoding device, and related methods are provided that eliminate the loss of synchronization of the adaptive filters of a terminal at the encoding end and a terminal at the decoding end caused by transmission errors. Deterioration of the sound quality is suppressed when a multiple channel signal is encoded with high efficiency using an adaptive filter. In the terminal at the encoding end, a buffer stores updated filter coefficients. When packet loss detection information indicating whether there is any packet loss in the terminal at the decoding end indicates that there is packet loss, a switch outputs the past filter coefficients of the previous (NX+1) frames from the buffer to an adaptive filter. The adaptive filter uses the past filter coefficients of the previous (NX+1) frames to conduct filtering.
摘要:
An encoding device is provided for increasing the quality of an encoded signal, even when encoding music signals. In the encoding device, a Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) encoder generates first encoded data by encoding an input signal, and a CELP decoder generates a decoded signal by decoding the first encoded data input from the CELP encoder. Additionally, a characteristic parameter encoder calculates a parameter that expresses the degree of fluctuation in the ratio of the peak components and the floor components between the spectra of the decoded signal and the input signal.
