A novel rate selection algorithm for transcoding CELP-type codec and SMV
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an efficient rate selection algorithm that can be used to transcode speech encoded by any code excited linear prediction (CELP)-type codec into a format compatible with selectable mode vocoder (SMV) via direct parameter transformation. The proposed algorithm performs rate selection using the CELP parameters. Simulation results show that while maintaining similar overall bit-rate compared to the rate selection algorithm of SMV, the proposed algorithm requires less computational load than that of SMV and does not degrade the quality of the transcoded speech.

A novel transcoding algorithm for AMR and EVRC speech codecs via direct parameter transformation
In this paper, a novel transcoding algorithm for the Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) codec and the Enhanced Variable Rate Codec (EVRC) is proposed. In contrast to the conventional tandem transcoding algorithm, the proposed algorithm transcodes the parameters of one codec to the other without synthesizing the speech. The proposed algorithm decodes the parameters of source codec from the input bitstrea...

This paper proposes an objective quality assessment method for voice communication systems using packet loss information. Based on the fact that the effect of packet loss to perceptual quality varies depending on the signal characteristics of lost packets, different weighting factors are applied to predicting overall quality. Considering the key paradigm of low bit rate speech coders such as pa...

This paper presents an algebraic vector quantized codebook excited linear prediction (AVQ-CELP) speech codec. The objective is to enhance the half rate mode of IS-127, the enhanced variable rate codec (EVRC). In AVQ-CELP scheme, only the perceptually important components are encoded, and the selection of the components is done in a way similar to the ACELP. An open-loop procedure is used to sel...
