An Audio Codec for Multiple Generations Compression without Loss of Perceptual Quality
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a generic audio codec allowing for multiple, i.e., cascaded, lossy compression without loss of perceptual quality as compared to the first generation of compressed audio. For this sake we transfer encoding information to all subsequent codecs in a cascade. The supplemental information is embedded in the decoded audio signal without causing degradations. The new method is applicable to a wide range of current audio codecs as documented by our MPEG-1 implementation.

Perceptually Transparent Attachment of Content-Based Data to Audio-Visual Documents
We present a new method for attaching data to digital audio-visual (AV) documents. Our method is steganographic, i.e., a secondary data stream is integrated or embedded into a given host data stream. Using a psychophysic model evaluated on the AV data we perform embedding in a perceptually transparent way. This is, the perceptual quality of the AV document is not altered. An important character...
متن کاملHigh Quality Audio Coding at Low Bit Rate Using Wavelet and Wavelet Packet Transform
Audio coding is widely used in application such as digital broadcasting, Internet audio or music database to reduce the bit rate of high quality audio signal without comprising the perceptual quality. In this paper work high quality audio codec at low bit rate using wavelet transform and improvement in reconstructed wave using post filtering has been proposed. The major issues concerning the de...
متن کاملAn Embedding Codec for Multiple Generations Compression based on MPEG - 1 , Layer III
We propose an MPEG-1 Layer III conforming audio codec for multiple generations (cascaded) compression without loss of perceptual quality. Previous research addressing this topic mainly focused on less complex coding schemes like MPEG-1 Layer II. In our paper, the techniques proposed in those approaches are extended to comply with Layer III's advanced features such as hybrid ltering, block switc...
متن کاملModified Discrete Cosine Transform for Encoding Residual Signals in Frequency Domain Linear Prediction
Frequency Domain Linear Prediction (FDLP) uses auto-regressive models to represent Hilbert envelopes of relatively long segments of speech/audio signals. Although the basic FDLP audio codec achieves good quality of the reconstructed signal at high bit-rates, there is a need for scaling to lower bit-rates without degrading the reconstruction quality. Here, we present a method for improving the c...
متن کاملA fine granular scalable perceptually lossy and lossless audio coder
This paper presents Advanced Audio Zip (AAZ), an audio codec that provides the fine granular bit-rate scalability from lossy to lossless coding. Perceptually embedded coding principle is employed in AAZ to provide lossy reconstruction with optimal perceptual quality at intermediate bit-rates. AAZ also provides the backward compatibility where the lossless bit-stream embeds a compliant MPEG-4 AA...
