Disclosed is a decoding device and others capable of flexibly calculating high-band spectrum data with a high accuracy in accordance with an encoding band selected by an upper-node layer of the encoding side. In this device: a first layer decoding unit (202) decodes first layer encoded information to generate a first layer decoded signal; a second layer decoding unit (204) decodes second layer encoded information to generate a second layer decoded signal; a spectrum decoding unit (205) performs a band extension process by using the second layer decoded signal and the first layer decoded signal up-sampled in an up-sampling unit (203) so as to generate a all-band decoded signal; and a switch (206) outputs the first layer decoded signal or the all-band decoded signal according to the control information generated in a control unit (201).

A scalable encoding device for realizing scalable encoding by CELP encoding of a stereo sound signal and improving the encoding efficiency. In this device, an adder and a multiplier obtain an average of a first channel signal CH1 and a second channel signal CH2 as a monaural signal M. A CELP encoder for a monaural signal subjects the monaural signal M to CELP encoding, outputs the obtained encoded parameter to outside, and outputs a synthesized monaural signal M′ synthesized by using the encoded parameter to a first channel signal encoder. By using the synthesized monaural signal M′ and the second channel signal CH2, the first channel signal encoder subjects the first channel signal CH1 to CELP encoding to minimize the sum of the encoding distortion of the first channel signal CH1 and the encoding distortion of the second channel signal CH2.

A scalable decoding apparatus capable of providing decoded audio signals of high quality having less degradation of a high frequency spectrum even when decoding audio signals by generating the high frequency spectrum by use of a low frequency spectrum. In the apparatus, an amplitude adjusting part (1211) uses different adjustment coefficients in accordance with the characteristic of first layer spectrum information to adjust the amplitude of a first layer decoded signal spectrum, and then outputs the amplitude-adjusted first layer decoded signal spectrum to a pseudo-spectrum generating part (1012). Using amplitude-adjusted first layer decoded signal spectrum received from the amplitude adjusting part (1211), the pseudo-spectrum generating part (1012) generates and outputs a pseudo-spectrum of high frequencies to a scaling part (1013). The scaling part (1013) scales the spectrum received from the pseudo-spectrum generating part (1012) and then outputs it to an adder (B).

A voice coding device capable of preventing overall quality degradation even when the bit rate for coding is lowered. The voice coding device codes a wide band signal in a first layer, and codes an extended band signal whose frequency band is located in higher frequency than the wide band signal in an extended band layer. An adaptive band selection unit (301) selects a frequency band to be excluded from a coding object in the extended band layer or a frequency band whose energy is to be attenuated in the extended band layer. A band-limited signal generation unit (302) excludes, within the frequency band of an input signal, the frequency band selected by the adaptive band selection unit (301) from the coding object, or attenuates the energy of the frequency band selected by the adaptive band selection unit (301).
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.

Provided is a channel signal generation device capable of avoiding a decrease in the prediction performance for predicting an L channel signal and an R channel signal from a monaural signal and achieving encoding with high sound quality. In the device, a monaural MDCT coefficient corrector (301) generates a left channel change monaural MDCT coefficient and a right channel change monaural MDCT coefficient using a decoding monaural MDCT coefficient generated using a left channel signal and a right channel signal, which constitute an acoustic signal. More specifically, the monaural MDCT coefficient corrector (301) generates the left channel change monaural MDCT coefficient and the right channel change monaural MDCT coefficient by performing change processing for compensating for the phase difference between the left channel signal and the right channel signal on the decoding monaural MDCT coefficient according to inputted determination data.
摘要:
Disclosed are an encoding device and a decoding device which suppress the occurrence of pre-echo artifacts and post-echo artifacts caused by a high layer having a low temporal resolution, and which implement high subjective quality encoding and decoding. An encoding device (100) carries out scalable coding comprising a low layer, and a high layer having a lower temporal resolution than that of the low layer. A start point detection unit (or end point detection unit) (150) determines the start point (or end point) of sections of the decoded low layer signal which have audio, and when the start point (or end point) is determined, a second layer encoding unit (160) selects a bandwidth to be excluded from encoding on the basis of the spectral energy from the decoded first layer signal, excludes the selected bandwidth, and encodes an error signal.
摘要:
By copying to a high-frequency band portion (extension band) a low-frequency band portion in which peaking has been set to a sufficiently low state, this encoding device is capable of preventing generation of a spectrum with overly high peaking in the high-frequency band portion, and of generating a high-quality extension band spectrum. This device comprises: a maximum value search unit which searches, in each of multiple sub-bands obtained by dividing the low-frequency band portion of an audio signal and/or music signal below a prescribed frequency, for the maximum value of the amplitude of a first spectrum obtained by decoding first encoded data, which is encoded data in the low-frequency band portion; and an amplitude normalization unit which obtains a normalized spectrum by normalizing, at the maximum values of the amplitude of each sub-band, the first spectrum contained in each sub-band.
