A 16 kbit/s wideband CELP coder using MEL-generalized cepstral analysis and its subjective evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have proposed a wideband CELP coder, called MGC-CELP, which provides high quality speech by utilizing mel-generalized cepstral (MGC) analysis instead of linear prediction (LP). In this paper, we investigate the performance of the wideband MGCCELP coder at 16 kbit/s in terms of short-term predictor order, i.e., order of MGC analysis. Subjective tests show that the MGCCELP coder with a predictor of order 20 gives better performance than ITU-T G.722 at 64 kbit/s. It is also found that the MGCCELP coder with 12th order achieves comparable quality to the 64 kbit/s G.722, and outperforms the 16 kbit/s conventional CELP coder using 20th-order LP analysis under the same conditions.

A wideband CELP speech coder at 16 kbit/s based on mel-generalized cepstral analysis
This paper proposes a wideband CELP coder using frequency warping. Instead of linear prediction, the proposed coder adopts the melgeneralized cepstral analysis, and encodes fullband of the speech signal through a warped frequency scale. It is shown that the subjective quality of the proposed coder at 16 kbit/s is better than that of the ITU-T G.722 at 64 kbit/s. Furthermore, the proposed coder ...
متن کاملA 16 kb/s Wideband CELP-Based Speech Coder Using Mel-Generalized Cepstral Analysis
We propose a wideband CELP-type speech coder at 16 kb/s based on a mel-generalized cepstral (MGC) analysis technique. MGC analysis makes it possible to obtain a more accurate representation of spectral zeros compared to linear predictive (LP) analysis and take a perceptual frequency scale into account. A major advantage of the proposed coder is that the benefits of MGC representation of speech ...

In this paper, we present a 6.8-32 kbit/s scalable speech and audio coder using a modified-discrete-cosine-transform (MDCT)-based bandwidth extension on top of a 6.8 kbit/s code-excited-linear-prediction (CELP) coder. The proposed coder comprises a 6.8 kbit/s narrowband CELP as its corelayer and eight enhancement layers with the bitrates of 0.8, 1.2, 3.2, or 4.0 kbit/s. After encoding of a narr...

In this paper, the performance of several algorithms for the quantization of the mel-generalized cepstral coe cients is studied. First, the objective and subjective performance of two-stage vector quantization (VQ) is measured. It is shown that subjective quality for the mel-generalized cepstral coe cients is higher than that for LSP. Secondly, interframe prediction is introduced in the encodin...
متن کاملA WIDEBAND CELP CODER AT 16 kbit/s FOR REAL TIME APPLICATIONS
Since its introduction in 1984, Code Excited Linear Predictive (CELP) [1] coding has received considerable attention for high quality speech coding at low bit-rates. Although most of the research has been focused on coding of narrowband (200-3400 kHz) speech, some recent studies on CELP coding of wideband (50-7000 kHz) speech have been reported [2], [3], [4]. A possible application for wideband...
