چکیده

Time-domain eoders use long-term predietors to exploit the quasiperiodie strueture of voiced speech. However, one major drawbaek with classical predictors is the restriction of the delay to integer values, reducing the performance especially when the pitch period is short. This paper presents an extension of the prediction technique to encompass non-integer delays enabling more aeeurate representation of quasi-periodie segments and an increased flexibility in the design of long-term predictors. The use of long-term predictors with fractional delays in CELP coding produces an enhancement of the harmonic structure in high frequencies and an improvement of quality for female spcakers.

Speech Coding at 4.8 kb/s with an Improved Pitch Filter

The reconstructed speech quality in a low bit-rate CELP coder is very dependent on the performance of the pitch filter. In this paper, we present an improved pitch filter, a fractional pseudethree-tap pitch synthesis filter, which performs better than a conventional one-tap pitch filter. We discuss the frequency response of the improved pitch filter. We explore stability issues for three-tap pi...

Analysis by synthesis speech coding with generalized pitch prediction

A new analysis-by-synthesis speech coding structure is presented for high-quality speech coding in the 4 to 8 kb/s range. CELP with generalized pitch prediction (GPP-CELP) di ers from classical code-excited linear prediction (CELP) in that for voiced segments it is the speech signal that is decomposed into a component predictable with the aid of the adaptive codebook (ACB) and a nonpredictable ...

An Enhanced Adaptive Codebook for a CELP Coder

An adaptive codebook for a onetap pitch filter has been used for determining the pitch filter using an analysis-by-synthesis procedure in CELP coders. In this paper, we first present the formulations for designing an enhanced adaptive codebook for a pseudo-three-tap pitch synthesis filter, which gives a better performance than a conventional one-tap pitch filter. Then, we focus on the stability...

Pitch Controlled Variable Bitrate CELP Speech Coding

In the past decade Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) has become Ihe dominan~ speech coding algorifhm for bit rafes between 4 kbps and 16kbps. Traditiowlly, CELP type algorithms produce a fixed bit-rafe. However, a fixed bit-rate is nof a requirement anymore for modern telecommunication and computer networks as well as for voice storage applications. The variable bifrate CELP coder presented...

Adaptive encoding of fixed codebook in CELP coders

In this paper, we propose an adaptive encoding method of xed codebook in CELP coders and implement an adaptive xed code excited linear prediction (AF-CELP) speech coder. AF-CELP exploits the fact that the xed codebook contribution to speech signal is also periodic as the adaptive codebook (or pitch lter) contribution. By modeling the xed codebook with the pitch lag and the gain from the adaptiv...
