Classified Vector Quantization of Lpc Parameters

چکیده
To achieve high coding efficiency, modern speech coders adopt hybrid coding approaches, which utilize different coding mechanisms for various classified speech segments. With known voiced/unvoiced detection, in this paper, a classified LPC quantization (CLPQ) scheme is presented to effectively encode line spectral frequencies (LSF). The proposed CLPQ scheme improves the performance of the classified LSF vector quantizer, which adopts two LSF codebooks derived separately from voiced and unvoiced speech frames. With an objective spectral distortion measure, the CLPQ scheme successfully reduces the bit rate by about 1 bit/frame. Many classified LSF quantizers with different codebook structures and bit rates were evaluated. It would be helpful to design a classified LSF quantizer, which arrives at a compromise between distortion, bit rate and computational complexity.

Abstruct-Linear predictive coding (LPC) parameters are widely used in various speech processing applications for representing the spectral envelope information of speech. For low bit rate speech-coding applications, it is important to quantize these parameters accurately using as few bits as possible. Though the vector quantizers are more efficient than the scalar quantizers, their use for accu...

The idea of applying vector quantization (VQ) to linear prediction coding (LPC) to realize a very low bit-rate speech coder with reasonable speech quality is investigated in this research. Instead of encoding LPC parameters directly, line spectral frequency (LSF) coefficients are obtained through a transformation of LPC and then encoded via VQ in the proposed scheme. In order to utilize the int...
