Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for integrally encoding and decoding a speech signal and a audio signal. The encoding apparatus may include: an input signal analyzer to analyze a characteristic of an input signal; a first conversion encoder to convert the input signal to a frequency domain signal, and to encode the input signal when the input signal is a audio characteristic signal; a Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) encoder to perform LPC encoding of the input signal when the input signal is a speech characteristic signal; a frequency band expander with the spectral band replication (SBR) standard for expanding the frequency band of the input signal whose output is transmitted to either the first conversion encoder or the LPC encoder based on the input characteristic; and a bitstream generator to generate a bitstream using an output signal of the first conversion encoder and an output signal of the LPC encoder.
Abstract:
An audio coding and decoding apparatus is disclosed. The audio coding apparatus may include an audio signal encoding unit to encode an audio signal; and a bitstream transmission unit to convert the audio signal into a bitstream and transmit the bitstream, wherein the audio signal comprises a channel audio signal, an object audio signal, and a reverberation signal of the object audio signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an LPC residual signal encoding/decoding apparatus of an MDCT based unified voice and audio encoding device. The LPC residual signal encoding apparatus analyzes a property of an input signal, selects an encoding method of an LPC filtered signal, and encode the LPC residual signal based on one of a real filterbank, a complex filterbank, and an algebraic code excited linear prediction (ACELP).
