چکیده

Streaming services seek to optimise their use of bandwidth across audio and visual channels to maximise the quality of experience for users. This letter evaluates whether objective quality metrics can predict the audio quality for music encoded at low bitrates by comparing objective predictions with results from listener tests. Three objective metrics were benchmarked: PEAQ, POLQA, and VISQOLAudio. The results demonstrate objective metrics designed for speech quality assessment have a strong potential for quality assessment of low bitrate audio codecs.

Voice quality evaluation of recent open source codecs

This paper introduces Silk, CELT, and BroadVoice that are available in the internet as open source voice codecs. Their voice quality is evaluated with a subjective listening test. AMR, AMR-WB, G.718, G.718B, and G.722.1C were used as standardized references. In addition Skype’s Silk codec’s peculiar bandwidth and bitrate characteristics are examined in more detail.

ACOUSTICS2008/2066 Damped sinusoids and subspace based approach for lossy audio coding

The new subspace-based techniques recently introduced appear to be well adapted for the parameters estimation of a damped sinusoids + noise signal model. These High-Resolution (HR) methods have a better frequency resolution than the Fourier analysis, but they are rarely used in audio coding. Although HR methods would be suitable for parametric coding at low bitrates, we show that they are also ...

Harmonic Enhancement in Low Bitrate Audio Coding Using an Efficient Long-Term Predictor

This paper proposes audio coding using an efficient long-term prediction method to enhance the perceptual quality of audio codecs to speech input signals at low bit-rates. The MPEG-4 AAC-LTP exploited a similar concept, but its improvement was not significant because of small prediction gain due to long prediction lags and aliased components caused by the transformation with a time-domain alias...

The effect of speech and audio compression on speech recognition performance

This paper proposes an in-depth look at the influence of different speech and audio codecs on the performance of our continuous speech recognition engine. GSM full rate, G711, G723.1 and MPEG coders are investigated. It is shown that MPEG transcoding degrades the speech recognition performance for low bitrates whereas performance remains acceptable for specialized speech coders like GSM or G711...

Multiresolution Source/Filter Model for Low Bitrate Coding of Spot Microphone Signals

In this paper, a multiresolution source/filter model for coding of audio source signals (spot recordings) is proposed. Spot recordings are a subset of the multimicrophone recordings of a music performance, before the mixing process is applied for producing the final multichannel audio mix. The technique enables low bitrate coding of spot signals with good audio quality (above 3.0 perceptual gra...
