摘要:
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.

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.

摘要:
An audio encoding apparatus that allows a decoded signal exhibiting an excellent sound quality to be obtained on a decoding side. In the audio encoding apparatus (1000A), a time-frequency transform unit (1001) uses a time-frequency transform, such as a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) or a modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT), to transform a time domain signal (S(n)) to a frequency domain signal (spectrum factor) (S(f)). A psychoacoustic model analyzing unit (1002) performs a psychoacoustic model analysis of the frequency domain signal (S(f)), thereby obtaining a masking curve. An acoustic sense weighting unit (1003) estimates, based on the masking curve, an importance degree of acoustic sense, and determines and applies the weighting factors of respective spectrum factors to the respective spectrum factors. An encoding unit (1004) encodes the frequency domain signal (S(f)) as weighted in terms of the acoustic sense. A multiplexing unit (1005) multiplexes and transmits the encoded parameters.

An encoder whereby the bit efficiency of encoding can be improved, thereby improving the qualities of signals as decoded. In the encoder: a time-frequency converting unit (101) converts signals, which are to be encoded, to frequency domain signals; an adaptive spectrum formation encoding unit (102) determines an effective range in the frequency band of the frequency domain signals; and a pulse vector encoding unit (103) pulse vector encodes only the signal components within the effective range.
